A Few Important Things
In line with the values that lie behind this partnership agreement, the University asks its students to take responsibility for their own learning. For example, you will need to give careful thought to the planning of your study programme and attend all your lectures, classes or supervisory sessions, so that you can perform well academically throughout the year. It is also important that you achieve a balance between your academic studies and other extra-curricular activities. In turn, the University will provide you with the necessary guidance and support to help you successfully complete your programme of study. We will also help you gain the achievements, skills, understanding and personal attributes that go towards achieving employability.
Diversity of University Community
All students and University staff are expected to behave in a way which respects and takes account of the diversity of the University community and the values of truth, toleration and justice.
Tackling Harassment and Bullying
The University of Sheffield is committed to promoting the highest standards of behaviour to maintain a working, learning and social environment where everyone is treated fairly and with respect.
Allegations of harassment, bullying and victimisation are treated very seriously and the University may take disciplinary action where appropriate.
University Regulations
It is essential that you read and take note of any information and guidance provided by the University. This includes the regularly updated University Regulations, which students have already undertaken to follow (by signing their registration documentation). Especially relevant are the General Regulations as to Examinations and Guidance for Students on the Use of Unfair Means in the Assessment Process which contain important information about avoiding the use of unfair means in the assessment process (for example plagiarism, collusion and submitting bought or commissioned work).
