    11. I understand that while I am on the Program, I am a representative of UniSA and I will conduct myself according to the principles and expectations outlined in the UniSA Code of Conduct for Students (https://i.unisa.edu.au/policies-and-procedures/codes/students/), and Statute No. 7 – Student Misconduct  (https://i.unisa.edu.au/policies-and-procedures/act-statutes-and-by-laws/university-of-south-australia-statutes/#p7).
