Policies

Student Conduct and Discipline

Class attendance and Absences
Students are expected to attend all lectures and tutorials (at least 15 hours of day time study a week). In the event of absence for medical or other reasons, you should inform the Admissions Secretary.

Change of Address and Telephone
If there are any changes in your local or home address or telephone number and other personal details, these should be notified to the Admissions Secretary immediately.

Course Information
Much of the important day-to-day information about courses is displayed on the College Notice Boards at the Reception Area and in Classrooms. Please read the notice boards regularly (i.e. whenever you have scheduled classes) to check for alterations to the timetable, room changes and information about assignments.

Academic Misconduct
If a student is found to have cheated or attempted to gain an unfair advantage, the examiners have authority to deem the student to have failed part or all of the assessments and also the authority to determine whether or not the student shall be permitted to be re-examined. Students may be excluded from taking external examinations on grounds of academic misconduct or insufficient percentage of attendance at classes during the academic session.

Health & Safety Policy

The College operates a health and safety policy that covers personal safety, fire and accident.

Personal Safety
The College is adequately secured on a 24-hour basis. If you are concerned about your safety, or become aware of any suspicious or unusual activity, you should contact the Chief Executive or Admissions Secretary immediately.

Fire and Accidents
Fire Drills are held in the College on a regular basis. Students are asked to familiarise themselves with fire exits and assemble points and to respond quickly to the instructions of the Fire Marshals and Sweepers in order to clear the building as speedily as possible.

Accidents and First Aid
All accidents must be reported to the Welfare Officer. First Aid boxes are available within the College premises and kept with the Welfare Officer. If emergency assistance or first aid is required outside normal teaching hours/office hours, contact the Ambulance Services on 999.

Equal Opportunities Policy

1. The College community encompasses its students, staff and management. The College looks to all members of the College community to maintain a lively and positive atmosphere in which teaching and learning, scholarship and research can flourish and where there is encouragement to all individuals to achieve their full potential.

2. The College is committed to the fair and equal treatment of all individuals regardless of gender, age, disablement, colour, race, ethnic or national origin, socio-economic group, sexual orientation, marital status, family responsibilities, religious or political beliefs. The College recognises that choices (e.g. student admission, staff selection) have to be made between individuals using proper criteria, but is opposed to discrimination based on the human attributes and values listed above. The College treat breaches of this Policy most seriously.
