Additional Information

Dress Code

Students are expected to maintain a professional appearance at all times. General principles of neatness, cleanliness, and good taste must be observed. The following are considered unprofessional and should not be worn while attending any university activity or program: tank tops, cut-off T-shirts, ripped jeans or short jeans, spandex biking shorts, beach wear, hats, or bandannas.

Complaint Procedure

When a Medical School student needs to lodge a complaint against any entity or component of the UNIBE family, he/she should request the appropriate Complaint Form at the Medical School office. Alternatively, the student may also contact the Dean of Students Office or use one of the suggestion boxes located across campus.

Student ID Card

All UNIBE students must carry an identification card while on campus. The ID card allows students to use various school facilities such as the Library, Fitness Center, and Study Hall. The ID card is validated upon payment of tuition.

Handicapped Facilities

The School of Medicine has made provisions for some type of physical disabilities, but it does not have the necessary facilities to accommodate paraplegic or quadriplegic students. The demands of the medical profession dictate certain exclusions from the Program are made, which are evaluated on a case by case basis.
