• Stay Indoors: If possible, stay indoors to reduce exposure to the polluted air. Ensure that windows and doors are closed to minimize the influx of outdoor air.

2) Code of Conduct, Student Welfare, Emergency Contact numbers & Reminders

Email from Student Welfare Unit, Office of Student Affairs, AIT on 22 January 2026

Dear students,

Warm greetings! Welcome to AIT for all new students of January 2026 Intake! Please note that the Student Welfare Unit of the Office of Student Affairs is responsible for all non-academic matters relating to students. In a multinational environment and campus like AIT, the role and function of the Student Welfare Unit is to advise and counsel students on:

1. Student Welfare Matters

Student welfare matters can comprise: gender related matters and the strict no harassment policy on campus; personal counseling; dispute mediation, and any other problem that a student may wish to seek advice on.

2. Code of Conduct at AIT

i. No Harrassment Policy on Campus

Given the unique diversity of the Institute community, AIT must develop special awareness and sensitivity to deter or respond to the problem of sexual harassment.

This is as per Student Handbook, pg. 25, “1.3 Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other physical, oral or written conduct or visual manifestations of a sexual nature.”

This is to inform explicitly and clearly that any form of harassment, including voyeurism, will not be tolerated.

If any student gets to experience any form of harassment, please report immediately through email report@ait.ac.th. Any student who will be reported harassing someone within the campus will face disciplinary action and details of the misconduct will be noted in the student's record.

ii. Stealing, shoplifting or theft of any kind is a serious criminal offense punishable under Thai law. The ramifications could be significant financial penalties and/or imprisonment.

Strict observance of the laws of Thailand is mandatory for all. All students are strongly reminded to observe proper conduct inside and outside of AIT. Any student who will be reported or caught committing any unlawful action within or outside the campus could also face immediate dismissal from the Institute.

AIT cannot and will not intervene with the appropriate penalties according to the law of Thailand if any case is filed to the Royal Thai Police. Moreover, the Institute is not in any way obliged to provide financial or legal support to the concerned student. Unfortunately, AIT cannot and will not intervene with the legal processes of Thailand, as applicable to any criminal case.

As students of AIT, and ambassadors of your country, you are expected to show moral integrity to uphold the good reputation of the Institute and project a good impression of your country. As short-term guests in your adopted home, we look forward to your compliance of the AIT regulations and laws of Thailand.

iii. Substance Abuse Policy

Please be reminded of the Substance Abuse Policy on campus and be aware of the relevant section in the AIT Student Handbook, which specifies that:

"1. Possessing, taking and/or selling drugs on campus is strictly prohibited under the laws of the host country.

iv. AIT Accommodation Rules

Please also follow AIT Accommodation Rules and respect your neighbors and roommates in your dorms by:

1. NOT making loud noises/partying

2. NOT cooking in non-cooking dorms

3. NOT smoking

4. NOT having pets/cats/dogs and NOT feeding STRAY cats/dogs

5. NOT subletting

6. Keeping your dorms/rooms & other AIT facilities clean and orderly and

7. Inform Security (02-524-6000) if you see any suspicious looking individuals near your dorms for safety and security reasons to have a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere inside the campus. Violators will be dealt with accordingly.

Please also exercise utmost caution and safety in any activity during holiday & exam breaks inside or outside the campus that you will be undertaking.

v. Social Media Usage Awareness

Social media technologies are expanding quickly, and they are popular and simple to use, making them appealing channels for communication. However, a variety of unintended consequences are also a possibility with these tools and platforms.

AIT recognizes the value of social media as a powerful tool for creating and disseminating news and information about the institute. AIT also takes the matter of cyber harassment and cyberbullying seriously and highly cares for each individual's integrity, privacy, and well-being. AIT is an international Institute which is neutral and non-political and embraces multicultural harmony. Therefore, we must all preserve this raison d'etre of the Institute. Host country Thailand has passed its first-ever data protection law, the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which came into effect on 1 June, 2022. Therefore, we need to be even more cognizant. Please refer to the Institute's P&P on Ethical Behavior and Grievance Process and Social Media Guidelines in these links:

https://intranet.ait.ac.th/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ait-social-media-g...

When using social media pages and groups, we strongly request everyone to:

Be Conscientious
Be Respectful
Be Responsible
Be Accurate
Be Original

We remind the AIT community to be respectful to each other both onsite and online, and make AIT a beautiful campus to live in peace and harmony.

(resent from the Office of Public Affairs’ announcement on 9 January 2023)

v.a. Misuse of Personal Images and Information

Using another person’s photos, likeness, or personal details without their consent—whether taken from AIT websites, social media, or other sources—is strictly prohibited. Such acts may constitute a violation of Thai law, including data protection and defamation laws, and are considered a breach of AIT’s ethical conduct standards. This includes, but is not limited to, creating fake online profiles (e.g., dating applications, social media accounts), altering or misrepresenting images, or publishing personal information without consent.

AIT takes these matters seriously and views them as a form of harassment and potential criminal offense. Any student found engaging in such behavior will face disciplinary action and, where applicable, will be referred to the proper legal authorities.

All members of the community are reminded to respect others both onsite and online, and to consider the potential impact of their words and actions on another person’s dignity and reputation.

3. Feeling of Academic Inadequacy

In cases where students are not doing well academically (especially students on probation), students are advised to consult very closely with their Advisors and Faculty on how to improve their studies. However, if reasons for poor academic performance are due to various factors outside academic/technical reasons, i.e. traumatic events old or new; adjustments to a new country, food and culture; homesickness, etc., further advice on how to improve performance can be provided by the Student Welfare Unit.

The "Guidelines for Use of Generative AI tools (GenAI tools)" are in the Student Handbook under the heading "III. Student Code of Conduct" in this link.

6) Request to fill the survey for 2025 Commuting Data – emission calculation - Supporting AIT’s Net Zero Campus Goal

Email from the Director OSC on 9 January 2026

Dear AIT Community,

As part of AIT’s continued commitment to achieving the vision of a “Botanical Garden Net Zero Campus by 2030,” the Campus Sustainability Committee (CSC), chaired by the Vice President of Administration and Development and coordinated through the Office of Sustainable Campus (OSC), is undertaking the annual assessment of AIT’s carbon emissions.

Transportation—including daily commuting to and from campus and official travel—is a significant contributor to institutional emissions. To accurately assess transport-related emissions for the year 2025, we are conducting a short online survey to collect commuting data from faculty, staff, and students.

We kindly request your participation from those who have been with AIT in 2025 by completing the survey using the link below:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduuRY7TStxDdcf8AtIq13Y5HJ51x2x...

Survey deadline: 31 January 2026

Please note: The survey can only be accessed using your AIT email account only.

The survey takes less than two minutes to complete. Maximum participation is critical, as higher response rates directly improve the accuracy of AIT’s emissions calculations and strengthen evidence-based planning for mitigation strategies. 

Your cooperation is essential to ensuring a robust and reliable carbon footprint assessment. Should you have any questions or require clarification, please feel free to contact the Office of Sustainable Campus.

Thank you for your valuable contribution to AIT’s sustainability journey.
