Keele academic regulations and policies index
These regulations and policies apply to all members of the University, including students. The regulations govern the academic functions of the University and form the framework for learning, teaching and assessment and other aspects of the student experience. They provide direction at a more detailed level than the Statutes and Ordinances. The regulations are established and amended by Senate.
The University has reserved the right to make changes each year which bind all members of the University, including students. Any amendments to the Regulations implemented during the current academic year are listed in Regulation Changes Summary - 2024-25, along with a brief overview.
The Regulations are part of the formal contract between the University and its students. Students – you are encouraged to familiarise yourself with relevant sections at the start of your studies and consult the Regulations at appropriate intervals during your studies.
In order to aid navigation, the regulations have been arranged into sections below.
The Regulations can be downloaded here as a single PDF file for ease of reference. Note that this is a printed copy - the master version is always the online version. Full Text: Regulations - Dec 2024.
In September 2018 the Regulations were reorganised into a new structure; regulations were re-numbered and in some cases, re-titled. If access is required to a Regulation using the former title and/or number, a guide is available here.
