On this page you will find all of the BU policies and procedures that you need to be aware of, including our Student Agreement.

Student Agreement

You can find the information about our policies, rules and regulations in our Student Agreement. You need to know about these as they include important information about what you can expect from us at BU, what you need to do as a BU student and what happens in certain circumstances, such as if you're not able to make payment of tuition fees or not able to engage with your studies. The Student Agreement (pdf, 653kb) forms the basis of the contractual relationship between you and us, so please read through this agreement before you apply and when we refer to it at other points in our admissions and registration processes.  

We will remind you about the student agreement when you accept your offer and register with us, and again when you re-register for a new academic year - you’ll be asked to confirm that you have read, understood and agree to it. Alternative formats are available on request via [email protected].  

We have made some changes to the Student Agreement and associated rules and regulations for the academic year 2024/25. This year we have changed the format and style of the student agreement compared to the version you have seen before (when we offered you a place at BU or during previous registration). We have done this to make the agreement easier to read and understand. As we usually do, we have also made changes to the policies and procedures covered by the agreement. The summary of key changes to our academic regulations, policies and procedures (pdf 203kb) is available to download.
