Section 3: Rights and responsibilities
As a student you have certain rights, and you should expect the University and its employees to honour those rights. However, these rights are conditional. They are conditional upon you recognising the legitimate rights of others and on you fulfilling the responsibilities placed upon you by the University’s rules and regulations. The University must impose some rules in order to allow you, and your fellow students, to exercise your different and varied rights. The University’s rules and regulations create a framework within which all students may exercise their individual rights effectively.
