We have regulations to help to ensure that all of our residents behave in a way that impacts as little as possible on other people, and respect other people’s privacy and wellbeing. All residents are expected to abide by them. Responsibility for the welfare and behaviour of residents rests with the Residence Manager.
We have laid out our expectations in the Brookes Behaviour document. Please familiarise yourself with this, so you understand what the University expects and what to do if someone is not meeting these expectations.
There are fixed penalty fines for certain breaches of regulations. If you are found to be in breach of Conduct procedure or your Licence to Occupy, you may be called to an interview with a Conduct Officer
The interview
If you have
been called to an interview, please respond as soon as possible to confirm
whether you can attend or not. Not engaging with the process is a breach of the
Student Conduct Procedure.
This meeting
will be your chance to discuss the incident, provide any evidence and documents
and talk about your behaviour. You have the right to have a witness present.
If you are in
doubt about how best to formulate or present a case, or you want to know how
the conduct procedure will or should operate, please seek advice from:
The University
is clear that it must ensure that the operation of this procedure complies with
the principles of natural justice. In broad terms, these are that:
- the
student knows the case that is being put against them, a reasonable time before
the case is heard
- the
student has the right to challenge the case against them
- the
person deciding the case does so without bias
- there
is a mechanism for reviewing or appealing against the decision.
Possible outcomes
- you
will be found either to be in breach or not to be in breach of procedures
- you
may be given a fixed penalty fine
- you
may receive a penalty
- you
may be referred to a Conduct Committee if the action is considered to be a
major breach of the procedures
