Brief Outline: A better understanding of implementing the Student Conduct and Discipline Rules

The Student Conduct and Discipline Rules form part of the University’s regulations (www.mdx.ac.uk/regulations) and describes how Middlesex students are expected to conduct themselves at all times in a manner which demonstrates respect for the University, their fellow students and staff.  There is a separate process for handling Academic Misconduct relating to assessment.

Non-academic misconduct includes but is not restricted to: disruption of the learning environment; threatening or offensive behaviour or language; fraud, deceit or deception; breaches of the Codes of Conduct; behaviour which brings the University into disrepute; failure to comply with professional codes of behaviour where a programme of study is linked to a particular profession.
