If it is judged that your case should be referred to a Student Conduct Panel, the Regulations and Compliance team will arrange this meeting.
The Student Conduct Panel will include;
A Dean or Director (Chair)
A member of the Quality Enhancement Committee or Academic Board.
A nominee of the Students’ Union with no connection to your case
The Investigating Officer will normally attend to answer questions about their report. A member of the course team may attend to answer course related questions.
An agenda for the meeting will be sent to you with your invitation to attend. If you do not attend the meeting, or provide a valid and timely reason why you are unable to attend, the meeting will proceed in your absence.
We know this can be a difficult time, so we always give you time to prepare, this is one week (excluding bank holidays). We recommend you contact the Students’ Union as soon as you can to arrange representation. Alternatively, bring along a supportive student friend. If you want to, you can write a statement before attending. You will need to send this to us at reguations@staffs.ac.uk 48 hours before the meeting.
The Student Conduct Panel can apply one or more sanctions in the list.
Someone will take notes at the meeting and you will be sent a copy of the decision within one week (excluding bank holidays).
