LUMS Summer School Guidelines & Policies

LUMS is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment. The following policies are designed to uphold the integrity and smooth functioning of the program. All students are expected to adhere to these guidelines. Violations may result in disciplinary action, including withdrawal from the program.

General Code of Conduct

  • LUMS enforces a zero-tolerance policy for all forms of aggressive or inappropriate behaviour, including harassment, stalking, bullying, and ragging. Any such actions will result in immediate expulsion.

  • LUMS is committed to fostering a safe and enabling environment for learning and will take decisive action against any breach of its Code of Conduct.

  • Students are expected to behave respectfully with peers, instructors, and staff at all times.

Campus Access & Parking

  • Vehicles are only permitted in designated Free Parking areas.

  • Parking on internal roads, pedestrian pathways, or crossings is strictly prohibited and constitutes a violation of campus policy.

  • Repeated parking violations may result in fines and/or denial of campus entry.

  • A refundable security deposit of PKR 10,000 will be collected from all enrolled students.

Admissions Policy

  • Admission to the Summer School is at the discretion of LUMS. The university reserves the right to grant or deny admission.

  • Admissions are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Once seats for a session are filled, no additional enrollments will be accepted.

Attendance & Certification

  • A minimum of 80% attendance, along with the completion of all graded components, is mandatory to receive a certificate of completion.

  • Attendance will be recorded during the first 10 minutes of each class. Late arrivals or early departures will be marked absent.

  • Marking proxy attendance is strictly prohibited and will be treated as a serious policy violation.

  • CES reserves the right to withhold certificates if course requirements are not satisfactorily met.

  • Certificates must be collected within one month after the session ends. LUMS will not be responsible for lost or damaged certificates after this period.

  • A fee of PKR 5,000 will apply for name changes or certificate reprints.

Smart Card Policy

  • Each student will be issued a smart card for campus access.

  • A PKR 3,000 fee will be charged for lost or damaged cards.

  • Misuse of the smart card - including facilitating unauthorised access to outsiders - is a serious breach of university policy and may result in disciplinary action.

  • Smart cards must be returned during the final class. Failure to do so may result in the non-issuance of the certificate and restricted access to the campus.

  • In case of a lost or stolen card, students must immediately notify the team at: ces@lums.edu.pk or summerschool@lums.edu.pk

Refund Policy

  • The session fee is non-refundable.

  • Refunds will only be issued in the event of cancellation by the Centre for Continuing Education Studies (CES). 

Accommodation Policy

  • Students must check in in person on their assigned date and time.

  • Any damage to campus property or hostel facilities will be charged to the student.

  • Guests are not allowed in dormitories. Students are not permitted to leave campus during the program without prior approval from CES management.

  • Smoking and the use of prohibited substances are strictly forbidden. Any such violation will result in immediate expulsion from university accommodation.

  • Rooms must be kept locked when unattended. LUMS is not responsible for the loss or theft of personal items. Any reported theft will be escalated to campus security.

  • A mandatory curfew of 11:00 PM is in effect for all students residing on campus to ensure safety and discipline.

  • LUMS does not provide housing for students enrolled in the Young Learners Program (YLP).

Disciplinary Action & Finality of Decisions

  • In such cases, the parent/guardian will be required to arrange early departure and cover any associated travel or damage-related costs.

  • The decision to withdraw a student is final and will not be subject to review, appeal, or reconsideration.
