Policies and Legislation

  • ³ÉÈË´óƬ policies

    This policy outlines the rights and responsibilities of staff and students in relation to the provision of Reasonable Adjustments to learning, teaching and assessment.

    This policy describes the modified arrangements that the University may provide to a student in the event that their capacity to demonstrate their true level of competence in an assessment or examination was, is, or will be significantly impaired as a result of medical, compassionate or extenuating circumstances.

    This policy may be applied where there is a concern that a student has a serious health condition which may adversely impact on their study, behaviour, or on the academic, business or social activities of the university. For the purposes of this policy, a serious health condition includes mental health and medical conditions.

    The ³ÉÈË´óƬ HSW Handbook has been developed to provide those with safety responsibilities with the practical steps to meet those responsibilities.
