STUDENT GUIDE TO REGULATIONS
2014/15
Preface
Welcome to the University of Central Lancashire.
When becoming a student at the University, you agree to comply with the various
regulations, rules, codes, conditions and policies (the Regulations) that pertain to
students during their enrolment.
This Guide provides you with the web addresses where you can access the core Regulations
in full that apply to you during your time at the University. There are also contact details for
further information about each set of Regulations.
This Guide includes matters such as: student conduct including the disciplinary, fitness to
practise and fitness to study procedures and students’ use of social networking sites;
academic regulations including extenuating circumstances, appeals and procedures for
addressing cheating and plagiarism; students’ responsibilities relating to data protection,
copyright and freedom of speech; and rules for the use of the University’s Library and IT
Facilities.
As a student you are bound to abide by each set of Regulations. It is, therefore,
important that you take some time to familiarise yourself with these Regulations in full
on the student portal at https://www.uclan.ac.uk/students/.
The University has also adopted various policies and procedures which reflect its ethos as
detailed in its Mission Statement and which will affect you during your time here as a student.
The policies and procedures do not form part of this Guide but details are available on the
student portal, which has been designed as an informative guide to students, providing useful
links and relevant student-orientated information.
This Guide is not exhaustive. Should you wish to access other Regulations these are
available in the Library, Schools and Services and on the student portal.
Copies of this Guide and the Regulations described within are available in alternative formats.
