The University may discipline you for acts of personal misconduct. Examples of personal miscondu ct would include: releasing access codes for the University computer and internet systems; any action which endangers the student, the University community, or the academic process.
DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES
The procedures for imposing academic and disciplinary sanctions are designed to provide you with the guarantee of due process and procedural fairness. In the first instance the Programme Manager will have an informal discussion with you to establish if there are any grounds to proceed. The outcome of the informal discussion will be documented and held on file whilst you are active in the programme. However if the Programme Manager considers that you have a case to answer then you will receive formal written warning that the case is being investigated.
