Section 5: University rules


University card During your first few days at LJMU you will be issued with a photo ID card. This card is important – it is your proof of entitlement to use University facilities.


You will be expected to carry it with you at all times and you may be required to present it for security purposes whilst on University premises. At certain locations you will be refused entry unless you can produce this card. The card is valid for the duration of your studies at LJMU. If, for any reason, you leave the University before the end of your course then you should hand the card in at your Student Zone.


If you lose the card, you should report the loss to the Help Desk at your local LRC. They will issue the appropriate authorisation for production of a new card. Unless you are able to produce a police crime number relating to the loss, a charge will be made for the replacement. If you subsequently find the lost card you should destroy it, as the card cannot be re-activated.


Carrying your card ensures you can gain access to many LJMU buildings and LRCs. It is also essential to present the card when handing in coursework, collecting grant, bursary cheques, taking assessments or borrowing items from the libraries. You will also be required to display the card during all University examinations. Therefore, your University card is an essential item during your student life.


Students should be aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that the University card is kept in a safe place and not misused by any other person. University cards are not transferable between individuals and if your card is found to be in the possession of anyone else, it will be confiscated and you may be disciplined and be expected to pay for the cost of a replacement card.


Health and Safety


LJMU has a Health and Safety Policy Statement and supporting Codes of Practice and Guidance to ensure that staff and students can work and study in a safe and healthy environment. The Liverpool Students Union has a representative on the University’s Health and Safety Committee. For more information, visit www.ljmu.ac.uk/ hsu/


As a student you are required to familiarise yourself with these codes of practice and guidance information as well as important local information, such as building evacuation procedures and safe escape routes.


Your course handbook should highlight programme specific health and safety matters, relating to for example laboratory work, field study activities, or working with children. Your tutors should remind you about good practice in these areas but it is the responsibility of every student to make themselves aware of the procedures and ensure that they are not breached.


Every LJMU School and Department has its own designated Health and Safety Officer. You should report all health and safety problems to your designated contact. For information on your local officer, please visit: [add web address]
