Regulations and behaviour
It is expected that you will follow the University's rules whilst you are registered as a student. These include both academic conduct in respect of exams, assessment and administrative processes, but also your behaviour and conduct whether on campus or off.
The University's rules are set out in the University Ordinances, University Regulations and University Charter and Statutes. Whilst you are not expected to know all of these in detail, you should be aware of their existence (and relevance to you as a student). The sections below highlight key areas of policy and the rules which are of particular relevance to students.
Behaviour
As a student of Loughborough University, your conduct and behaviour - both on and off campus - sets the reputation of the University and the entire student body. Maintaining a positive relationship with the local community is a priority to the University and it is expected that you will act accordingly to present the University and student body as well behaved, polite and mindful of the Loughborough community.
For information on what's expected of you and the procedures involved should your behaviour drop below the accepted level, please see the Policy and Guidance on Student Behaviour.
