Rights and Obligations
Student rights can be categorized into four primary pillars: those related to the nature and quality of training, those concerning the preservation of the student's dignity, those pertaining to freedom of expression, and others centered on the pedagogical aspect.
Just as students enjoy specific rights, they also have corresponding obligations that must be respected and fulfilled. These can be summarized in the following pillars: respect for the university community, adherence to pedagogical regulations, preservation of facilities and equipment, and demonstrating discipline and responsibility.
