Code Of Conduct

Student Code of Conduct

The following rules are specified with respect to the conduct of students and procedures for handling disciplinary offences.

This Policy covers all students of the College. Students are independent adults with legal and social responsibilities and are accountable for their actions and behavior. The University of Bedfordshire and PCPS College for Professional Studies fosters a community which has an atmosphere of trust and respect and our commitment stands to honor this. Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with these principles. They should show proper concern in their behavior for the reputation of the University/College and the student body, and for its effect on their fellow students, staff and their juniors.

Misconduct is behavior which interferes with the proper functioning of the University/College and its activities, or those who work and study in the University/College, or which has the potential to damage the reputation of the University/College or the student body. Such behavior could take place on College premises or elsewhere, and whilst engaged in College related activity or not. Separate regulations are made for dealing with academic offences.

The following are examples of what might constitute misconduct:

  • Disruption of, or improper interference with, the academic, administrative, sporting, social, or other activities of the University/College.
  • Obstruction of, or improper interference with, the activities, functions, or duties of any student, staff member, or visitor to the University/College.
  • Violent, disorderly, threatening, indecent, or offensive behavior or language whilst on College premises or elsewhere.
  • Falsification or misuse of University/College records, including degree, diploma, or other certificates, and of University/College equipment, systems, and processes.
  • False pretenses or deception relating to academic assessments and examinations.
  • Fraud, deceit, or dishonesty in relation to the University/College or its staff, or in connection with registering as a student or being a student.
  • Actions which might cause injury or put at risk the health or safety of people on College premises or whilst on University/College activities.
  • Harassment or bullying in any form, including via social media, of any student, staff member, or visitor to the University/College on any grounds.
  • Breach of the provisions of the University/College’s policy on Freedom of Speech or Freedom of Expression, or other similar policy.
  • Theft, damage to, or defacement of University/College property, or the property of other members of the University/College, whether intentional or reckless.
  • Attending classes or entering any learning environment whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Misuse or unauthorized use of College premises or property, including computer misuse or breaches of the University code on acceptable network use.
  • Conduct that constitutes a criminal offence, including possession of offensive weapons, implements intended for use as weapons, or illegal substances on College premises.
  • Failure to comply with a previously imposed penalty under the disciplinary procedures.
  • Bringing the University/College into disrepute.

Students of the University studying at partner colleges (Patan College for Professional Studies) will normally be subject to the disciplinary procedures of the partner college in the first instance. Where the alleged misconduct has the potential to damage the reputation of the University or the University's student body, the University will liaise with the partner college as necessary to determine the appropriate procedures to be followed. At the discretion of the University and the partner college, it may be deemed appropriate for an allegation to be considered under the University's disciplinary procedures.
