- The majority of students will enrol with the University on-line via the University website. On the final enrolment screen, students are required to read the following declaration before enrolment can be completed:
"I hereby acknowledge that, as a student of the University of Southampton, I am bound by all the requirements in force under the Charter, Statutes, Ordinances and Regulations of the University. These include the requirement that all outstanding debts to the University are paid before an award can be confirmed. I confirm that the information on these pages is correct to the best of my knowledge.
I consent to the University processing it as described in these pages. For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998, the data controller is the University of Southampton.
This enrolment is subject to me satisfying any outstanding requirements resulting from the admissions process, previous assessment, or any other stipulations required by my program of study.
I confirm that I wish to enrol for the 2006-2007 Academic Session and that I understand that, by clicking the Enrol button below, University fees become due."
- All University regulations applicable to students may be enforced under the Regulations for Discipline.
Attendance
- While the University recognises that many students combine study with paid or unpaid work, it is the responsibility of students to organise their time in ways which allow them to attend required lectures and classes and complete assignments and examinations at the appropriate time. Persistent absence from required classes may constitute grounds for termination of course. Students must also abide by any condition of their studentships which include a restriction on part-time work as a condition of their award. Furthermore, in the event of poor academic or clinical performance, no student may cite as an extenuating circumstance that their study was adversely affected by any period of paid or unpaid work.
- Unless admitted to a part-time course of study, students are required to keep the three University terms (two semesters) each year in full and to attend for such additional periods of study as may be required by the regulations of the course for which they are registered or by their tutor or supervisor.
- If absent for five days or more on account of illness, students must report the absence to their tutor or supervisor who may require a medical certificate. Students holding awards from public funds who are absent through illness for 28 days or more must similarly arrange for the submission of a medical certificate.
- Students must present themselves at such examinations as may be required by the Head of their School but, if students have not satisfied the course requirements, their scripts may not be marked (see Ordinance 7.3.7).
- Every student must notify the Director of Student Services (through the appropriate School Office) of any change of home or local address, whether permanent or temporary.
Transfer, Withdrawal and Termination
- An undergraduate student may be allowed to transfer from one School to another with the agreement of the two Schools concerned. Students seeking transfer must obtain from the School Office in which they are now (or were last) registered, a transfer form for the present tutor's or supervisor's approval and must return this to the same School Office.
- Students who withdraw from the University (or from postgraduate candidature) not having completed their course must inform the Director of Student Services in writing.
- No prize or other University award shall be given to any student who is not in good academic standing.
- Senate reserves the right to terminate at any time the course of a student whose academic work proves unsatisfactory or whose level of attendance is unacceptable. Termination of course shall be notified to the student by the Director of Student Services. The student may ask for a review of the decision by writing to the Director of Student Services stating the grounds for requesting the review. When a student's course is terminated in September any request for review must be submitted within fourteen days: at other times of the year such a request must be submitted within twenty-one days. The Director of Student Services will submit the request to the Senate Appeals Committee.
Academic Integrity
- All students are required to complete their work, and where relevant their professional practice, in accordance with the principles and practices set out in the Academic Integrity Statement for Students. The Academic Integrity Statement for Students is published in student handbooks and the University Calendar.
- A student who is suspected to have committed a breach of academic integrity, including assisting another student to commit or attempt to commit such a breach, shall be subject to the implementation of academic procedures as detailed in the University's Policy and Procedures for Handling Suspected Breaches of Academic Integrity. Breaches of academic integrity include such practices as plagiarism, collusion and cheating which are explained in Appendix 1 of the Academic Integrity Statement for Students.
-
A student who is found to have committed a breach of academic integrity will incur a penalty in accordance with the penalty guidelines listed in the University policy. The severest breaches may result in the reduction of class of degree award, deprivation of a University qualification, termination of course and/or the implementation of disciplinary procedures.
Use of University Property
- Students are required to pay for damage done by them to University property.
- With the exception of student residences and the Students' Union building, the buildings of the University are closed to students on Bank Holidays and during official closure periods, and from 22:30 hours to 08:00 hours at other times. Officers of student societies must arrange to terminate meetings by 22:30 hours unless they have the permission of the Secretary and Registrar or his nominee for an extension of time. The use of departmental buildings after 22:30 hours requires the permission of the Head of the School concerned as well as that of the Secretary and Registrar or his/her nominee.
- Smoking is not permitted in the University buildings on the main campus (excluding the Students' Union where separate arrangements apply) or at Boldrewood except in areas designated as smoking areas.
