A guide to the Code of Discipline

The Code of Discipline for Students is in place to ensure that good standards of communal life are maintained at the University of Nottingham. By registering at the University you have agreed to comply with this code and are expected to:

  • show respect for all members and property of the University and wider community
  • behave in a manner that does not interfere with the proper functioning and activities of the University

If a student has failed to meet our expected standards, the Code of Discipline will be instigated.
