Academic standards and conduct

On enrolment, all students are required to sign a declaration acknowledging that they are subject to the statutes and regulations of the University. The primary purpose of the statutes and regulations is to establish and to uphold the academic standards of the University in an environment where staff and students can best pursue their academic goals.

Misconduct in relation to examinations or written or practical work for assessment, or in the more general sense as a member of the University, is viewed seriously.

Penalties such as fail grades for work submitted, failure in a subject as a whole, the imposition of a fine, or exclusion from the University may be considered for breaches of discipline.
