Rules

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy learning community for students.

In the first instance, our approach to reports of drug possession or misuse will be of an educational and supportive nature rather than immediately being dealt with by our disciplinary regulations.

It is important to note that continued drug-related misconduct or any suspicions of supplying substances to another person (even if given to friends for free) would be escalated to disciplinary action as detailed in Regulation B1. Examples of actions that we may take include, but aren’t limited to:

• Educational conversation with a Residence Life Manager;
• Referral to external specialist support services;
• Having to leave your University accommodation;
• Being temporarily or permanently withdrawn from your course;
• Having a legal duty to inform the police - which could result in your criminal prosecution.
• In cases where the student is subject to Fitness to Practice considerations, and where the seized substances are reasonably believed to be identified as Class A or not solely for personal use, details of any discipline investigation and subsequent outcome will be shared with their faculty.
