General Campus Information

Dress Code:
Dress neatly and cleanly. When it comes to clothing, discretion and good judgement should take
precedence. Please follow the advice of the staff and authorities in your behaviour on campus, keeping in
mind that you will be a professional with social responsibilities and a position of respect and authority in
society. A valid ID card is required on campus. The management values the students' adherence to all
rules established in the best interests of the students and the organisation.

Healthcare Facility:
We care about each student's health. In this regard, SDM University provides each student with a Health
Card that entitles them to subsidised treatment at the SDM Medical Hospital, which is located on the
SDMCMSH campus. Students are advised to contact the Hospital through the Wardens if they have any
ailments or health issues. Vaccinations and an initial health check-up are performed upon admission to
the SDM Campus.

Students – Faculty Clubs:
Apart from the Studies and Extracurricular activities, the University has the provision for many students’
clubs viz. Art & Photography Club, Cultural Club, Literary Club, Nature Club and Music Theatre and Dance
Club.

Banking Facility:
The Nationalized Canara Bank Branch is available in the campus with two ATM facilities within the campus.

Hostel & Mess:
All the constituent institutes have hostel facility. Hostels have single/double attached and non-attached
rooms & three/four seater non-attached rooms. Rooms have built in wardrobe and also are provided
with a cot, a computer table, a book shelf and a chair, along with mattress and pillows. Cable TV is
provided in the TV lounge of each residence hostel. Hostel staff consists of wardens, hostel caretakers and
other auxiliary ward staff personnel.

Application for hostel accommodation should be made in the prescribed form which will be made
available at the time of admission to the institute.

All freshmen are encouraged to live on campus unless they commute from home. The primary reasons
for this requirement of student hostels are easier availability and access to facilities, fewer distractions, and
living with others who share common academic endeavours. In short, the institute believes that living in
residence hostels is a good educational practise for students who are new to campus. However, if living
outside is chosen for any reason, full details of where they will be staying must be reported to the office
and approval obtained from the concerned principal. The principal decides whether or not to offer a
student hostel accommodation. Request for change of rooms is not entertained except for serious
reasons which should be placed in writing before the warden. Changes when possible are ordinarily
permitted only at the end of a term subject to availability of an alternative.

All resident students are responsible for the care of their assigned room in the hostels, for their personal
conduct, and the conduct of their guests therein. Resident students should understand that the institute
will not permit behaviour in these hostels which is in conflict with stated policy or which could create
situations which might conflict with their academic endeavours as students (e.g. Cohabitation and
unlawful drug use are not permitted in any student hostels). Smoking is prohibited in the rooms and in the
hostel premises. ‘Silent hours’ will be observed from 10.00 PM to 07:00 AM the next day, on all days. No
noise of any sort will be permitted during the “Silence hours”.

Only vegetarian food shall be served in the students’ mess. Evening tea and dinner shall not be served on
Saturdays. No non-vegetarian packed food from outside shall be permitted to be brought into the hostel
premises.
