With a population the size of a small town, behavioural issues arise from time to time amongst the student body. The University has a set policy and processes to deal with student misbehaviour, which may include investigations, panel meetings and penalties. It is important for all students to know what the University expects from them in terms of their behaviour and for students to know what the processes involve and where they can access support.
Here you’ll find some general information on student discipline at the University, including what behavioural issues students may need to be aware of.
The University’s main behaviour policy is called Regulation XVII (17) (Conduct and Discipline of Students). This sets out the expectations of students and the disciplinary process.
