Introduction

Purpose

The Student Code of Conduct (“the Code”) sets out the University’s
expectations of students as members of the UNSW community. All students
at enrolment must accept their shared responsibility for maintaining a safe,
harmonious and tolerant environment in which to study and work.

The Code details the University’s responsibilities and what students can
reasonably expect in terms of quality provision, a safe and fair learning
environment and the UNSW student experience.

Student Conduct

The Code provides a framework for the standard of conduct expected of
students of the University with respect to their academic integrity and
behaviour. It outlines the primary obligations of students, and directs staff
and students to the code and related procedures.

Where a student breaches the Code the University may take disciplinary
action. Such matters will be handled in accordance with the Student
Misconduct Procedure.

which outlines guiding principles and processes in student complaint
resolution.
