Regulations and Disciplinary Code

All students of Bournemouth University are bound by its Regulations and Disciplinary Code, copies of which are given to students on enrolment.

The regulations also apply in the Residences and the specific rules relating to the Residences are included. Breaches of regulations are dealt with in accordance with the University's Disciplinary Procedures relating to student conduct.

In case of doubt, all residents are also bound by the "Bournemouth University Policy for Residents in Halls". Students are advised to read all regulations carefully.

Disciplinary Action

The Accommodation Service and the Residential Services Manager are empowered to fine students and/or to take other disciplinary action, which may include exclusion from the residences for misconduct or breaches of regulations on University managed premises. Serious or repeated misconduct will be reported to the Office of Vice-Chancellor for consideration under the University's Student Disciplinary Procedure. Misconduct includes nuisance to other residents and damage to the property or its contents.

Standards

If the standards in a flat or house are such that an empty room cannot be easily re-let the University reserves the right to:

  • Instruct cleaners, with the remaining occupants to be responsible for any invoice
  • Charge rent for that room to be divided between the remaining occupants
  • Transfer any or all of the remaining students within that flat or house to any other room in University accommodation.

Students who feel they have been Unfairly Treated

Students who feel they have been unfairly treated should refer to the appeals procedure in "Policy for Residents in University Managed Properties" or may discuss their case with Sabbatical Officers of the Student Union who will judge whether appeal may be made to the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic).
