Stepping into the Ho Chi Minh City Open University family, you will discover a dynamic and inspiring learning environment. More than just a place to acquire knowledge, Ho Chi Minh City Open University is a vibrant community where learners are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities and international cultural exchange. To create an inclusive and effective learning environment, the university has established a clear behavior culture. Based on these guidelines, both Vietnamese and international learners can easily integrate into learners' lives, forming positive mindsets and lifestyles that are suitable for the academic environment.

Classroom Rules: Learners should arrive on time and focus throughout the lesson, limit personal work, use of mobile phones or personal devices unrelated to the lesson. Each learner should proactively participate in the learning process, actively contribute ideas, complete assignments, and actively participate in extracurricular activities. When taking exams, learners must strictly comply with the examination regulations of each subject to ensure fairness and objectivity.

Dress Codes: Learners are completely free to express their personal fashion style. However, to suit a serious educational environment, attire should be polite and modest. Shirts, T-shirts, or blouses are suitable choices. Pants should be of appropriate length, not too short or too tight. Neat shoes and tidy hair are also necessary requirements. In particular, learners should always carry their learners ID for easy access to the campus. In activities representing the university, uniforms or T-shirts with the OU logo will be the most suitable attire.

Behavior Towards the Landscape and Environment: Aiming to build a green, clean, and beautiful learning environment, the university encourages learners to actively protect the environment. At the same time, with the orientation of becoming a "green university" and a leading educational institution in reducing the use of single-use plastics on campus, the university encourages learners to bring personal water bottles, dispose of waste in designated areas, and make use of plastic bottle recycling machines (Botol machine) located at the university's facilities. In addition, saving electricity, water, paper, and using public transportation are also encouraged by the University. Each individual should join hands to create a green and sustainable living space.   

Elevator Rules: When using the elevator, please line up neatly and do not jostle. Make way for the elderly, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. To create a comfortable space for everyone, please hold your backpacks and avoid disturbing others. Choose the correct floor and use the elevator civilly. If possible, prioritize using the stairs for exercise.

Behavior on Social Networks: When using social networks, always remember to: respect the law, behave civilly, protect personal information, and be responsible for your actions. Let's work together to build a healthy and positive online community.

Essential Fire Escape Skills: To deal with fire emergencies, everyone needs to equip themselves with basic evacuation knowledge. In case of an emergency such as a fire, staying calm and acting quickly is extremely important. First, alert everyone around you and call the fire department at 114. Next, look for designated exits, prioritizing cool and safe areas. When moving, cover your nose and mouth with a wet cloth to avoid inhaling toxic smoke. Keep your body low to avoid inhaling hot smoke. If the door is locked or too hot, absolutely do not try to open it. Find a way to signal for rescue. If your clothes catch fire, calmly lie down on the ground and roll to extinguish the flames. Finally, if you cannot self-evacuate, find a way to signal for help from a balcony or window to get timely assistance.

To create a safe, inclusive, and polite learning environment, let's all together create a beautiful culture at Ho Chi Minh City Open University with the above behavior culture.
