What are the procedures for disciplining full-time undergraduate students in Vietnam?

According to Article 10 of the Regulation on Student Affairs for full-time undergraduate programs issued together with Circular 10/2016/TT-BGDDT, the procedures for disciplining full-time undergraduate students are as follows:

Step 1: The student in violation must write a self-criticism report and determine the disciplinary action. If the student does not comply with writing a self-criticism report, the Student Reward and Discipline Council will still convene to handle the case based on the collected evidence.

Step 2: The class supervisor convenes a meeting with the class to analyze and propose disciplinary actions to the faculty or unit in charge of student affairs.

Step 3: The faculty or unit in charge of student affairs reviews the case and proposes it to the Student Reward and Discipline Council of the university.

Step 4: The Student Reward and Discipline Council convenes a meeting to impose disciplinary actions.

The composition includes: Council members, representatives of the student's class, and the student in violation. If the student who violated the rules is invited but does not attend (without a legitimate reason) and does not submit a self-criticism report, the Council will still proceed with the meeting and consider additional disciplinary breaches for lack of cooperation.

The Council recommends a disciplinary action to the Head of the university to issue a written disciplinary decision.

Note: The disciplinary file for the student includes:

- Self-criticism report (if any);

- Minutes of the class meeting for the student in violation;

- Minutes from the faculty or unit in charge of student affairs;

- Related documents.
