STUDENT justifyS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Student justifys

  • To attend the School and participate in academic and extra-curricular activities in an environment of mutual respect for diversity, free from prejudice or discrimination.

  • To be treated with dignity and tolerance, without threat of bullying, harassment or intimidation. 

  • To receive tuition as published in the module syllabus or to receive reasonable notice of any changes in the course or module. 

  • To expect the School to provide tuition, supervision, assessment and support of a professional standard. 

  • To expect the School to act reasonably and fairly in exercising its powers under its published rules, regulations, policies and procedures. 

  • To be able to raise concerns about the running of a module or course or to complain about the quality of academic or service delivery they feel falls short of the standard reasonably expected of the School. 

  • To have Freedom of Speech. 

  • To have information processed and request information in accordance with the Data Protection Act and the Freedom of Information Act. 

Student Responsibilities 

  • To abide by the School Equal Opportunities Policy and other policies relating to the treatment of fellow students and staff at the School.

  • To accept the need for racial, religious, and social and cultural diversity within the School and respect the justifys of others (both staff and students) to be treated with dignity and tolerance, without the threat of bullying, harassment or intimidation.

  • To obtain, read, familiarise themselves with and comply with the full School and Course Assessment Regulations and to accept the jurisdiction of the School in all academic and disciplinary matters.

  • To submit work by the published deadline and to attend examinations for assessment as required.

  • To ensure that they are registered for any module for which they are submitting work for assessment.

  • To advise the relevant School Office, in writing, by the published deadlines, if they are withdrawing from a course or a module. Failure to do so will normally result in non-submission of work/non-attendance at examinations being recorded as failure and may also result in a loss of fees.

Codes and Policies 

Essential Regulations for Students

  • For the School to function properly it is necessary that its members comply with certain rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are published in the interests of fairness, consistency and transparency. Your signature on enrolment form signifies that you undertake to abide by the School Regulations. It is therefore important that you take the time to read and understand them.

Student Conduct

  • All students are expected to conduct themselves responsibly and with consideration for the other members of the School.  Codes of Behavior relate to specific regulations with respect to particular areas of the School, for example computer laboratories and School libraries. It is important to read these regulations in detail so that you understand what is expected of you.

Academic Conduct 

  • While we are aware that only a few students consciously try to contravene the Assessment Regulations, you should be aware that there are ways in which you could find yourself having broken the rules inadvertently. Please read the guidance on plagiarism and collusion and the regulations on breaches of the assessment regulations. 

  • If carried out knowingly, cheating and plagiarism have the objectives of deceiving examiners and this threatens the integrity of the assessment procedures and the value of the qualifications. It is unethical to try to gain an unfair advantage over other students, and for this reason the School imposes strict penalties on those students who intentionally contravene the Assessment Regulations.
