Rules & Regulations

These rules are established to ensure discipline, professionalism, and integrity within the DCC Business Club. They are structured in accordance with the principles outlined in Dhara 2 — General Code of Conduct of the official club constitution.

1. Respect and Conduct

Every member is a representative of the club and the college. The foundation of our community lies in mutual respect, humility, and ethical behavior.

  • All members must treat advisers, executives, seniors, and juniors with respect both on and off campus.
  • Discrimination, harassment, gossip, or favoritism of any kind is strictly prohibited.
  • Respect extends beyond people — it includes college property, club assets, finances, and online platforms.
  • Members are encouraged to practice constructive feedback and handle disagreements with maturity and professionalism.

👉 The club believes that true leadership begins with courtesy and character.

2. Discipline and Responsibility

Discipline ensures the smooth execution of every initiative and builds the reliability of the DCC Business Club name.

  • Members must maintain punctuality during meetings, programs, and official commitments.
  • Once a member accepts a task, it must be completed with dedication and accountability.
  • Uninformed absences, negligence, or repeated delays may affect membership standing.
  • All members are expected to follow college regulations first. Club duties cannot justify class absence or rule violations.
  • Personal conflicts or politics must never interfere with club activities or team harmony.
⚠ Disciplinary Actions: Repeated violations, unethical behavior, or acts that harm the club’s reputation may result in official warnings, suspension, or membership termination.

3. Dress Code & Representation

The appearance of a member reflects the club’s identity. All members must present themselves in a professional and respectful manner.

  • College Uniform: All current students must wear the official Dhaka Commerce College uniform during academic hours and in official club programs — both on and off campus.
  • Formal Attire: Formal or semi-formal dress may be required during meetings, seminars, or external events.
  • Identification: Members must carry their College ID or Club Badge during official programs.
  • Prohibited: Casual, flashy, or inappropriate attire is not allowed during any representation of the club.

🎯 Dress professionally — because every member represents not only the club but also the institution.

4. Digital Device & Media Usage

Members are expected to use technology responsibly and maintain digital professionalism at all times.

  • Electronic devices may be used during programs only with prior approval of organizers or the Executive Panel.
  • Unauthorized recording, photography, or posting of internal club matters is prohibited.
  • Sharing confidential club data (such as finances or meeting notes) without permission will be treated as a breach of trust.
  • Members must uphold digital ethics and maintain a respectful presence on social media.
💡 Tip: Use digital tools for research, communication, and design — not distraction. Your digital conduct shapes the club’s reputation.

5. Academic Priority

Academic success remains every member’s first responsibility. The club’s mission complements — not competes with — academic goals.

  • Club participation must never interfere with classes, exams, or college regulations.
  • Members struggling academically may request a temporary leave or workload adjustment before major exams.
  • Consistent academic underperformance may lead to a review of the member’s role or duties.
  • The club encourages members to develop time management and balance academic excellence with extracurricular leadership.

📘 The DCC Business Club stands for leaders who excel both in classrooms and communities.

Disciplinary Measures & Actions

Outlined under Dhara 12 of the DCC Business Club Code of Conduct

The DCC Business Club maintains a commitment to integrity, professionalism, and accountability. Disciplinary measures ensure fairness and uphold the standards of conduct expected from all members.

a. Warning

The first level of disciplinary action is a formal warning issued to members for minor violations of club rules — such as tardiness, minor misconduct during events, or improper use of communication channels.

Warnings are documented in the member’s record and serve as an official notice to correct behavior. Accumulation of multiple warnings may lead to higher levels of disciplinary action.

b. Probation

Members placed under probation must demonstrate tangible improvement in behavior, participation, and adherence to club rules within a specified period.

During probation, members may face restricted privileges — such as limited participation in events, committees, or leadership opportunities. Failure to meet expectations may escalate the matter to short suspension, termination, or permanent suspension depending on the severity of misconduct.

c. Short Suspension

A short suspension temporarily bans a member from participating in club activities, meetings, or official events for a defined period. This action is taken for serious but non-permanent violations — such as repeated neglect of responsibilities, minor ethical breaches, or misconduct during events.

Members on short suspension must reflect on their actions and may need to submit a formal acknowledgment of improvement before resuming duties.

d. Termination

Termination refers to the permanent removal of a member from the club due to severe violations — including repeated misconduct, academic dishonesty, ethical breaches, misuse of funds, or actions that damage the reputation of the club or college.

Terminated members lose all rights and privileges, including participation in events, leadership roles, and access to club resources. Termination decisions are made after a formal review by the Executive Panel and, if applicable, the Adviser Panel.

  • Repeated absenteeism
  • Disrespectful behavior
  • Misuse of club resources
  • Breach of confidentiality
  • Engagement in unethical or illegal activities

Members facing termination are entitled to a hearing where they can present their defense before a final decision is made.

e. Permanent Suspension / Ban

In extreme cases of misconduct — such as criminal activity, gross negligence, corruption, or repeated violations after prior disciplinary actions — a member may face permanent suspension or be banned from all club activities.

This is the highest level of disciplinary action and ensures the integrity, safety, and reputation of the club are preserved.

Permanently suspended or banned members are not eligible for rejoining unless a formal reinstatement is approved by both the Executive and Adviser Panels under exceptional circumstances.

f. Appeals

Members subject to any disciplinary action have the right to appeal the decision within 7 days of notification.

Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Executive Panel, clearly stating:

  • Grounds for reconsideration
  • Supporting evidence or mitigating circumstances

The Executive Panel, in consultation with the Adviser Panel if necessary, will review the appeal and issue a final, binding decision. All appeal proceedings will ensure transparency, fairness, and due process.

g. Documentation & Record-Keeping

All disciplinary actions — including warnings, suspensions, or terminations — must be formally documented and archived by the Office Secretary.

  • The nature of the violation
  • Evidence and supporting documentation
  • Decisions taken
  • Any corrective measures prescribed

Proper documentation ensures accountability, consistency, and fairness in applying club rules and maintaining ethical standards.
