Regulation 29 Discipline of students

The principal may suspend from attendance at the college any student who is, in his opinion, guilty of serious misconduct.

At the time of such suspension or as soon as practicable thereafter the principal shall inform the student in writing of the grounds on which he has been suspended and shall give him an opportunity to reply; and shall thereupon decide whether the student should be reinstated, should continue to be suspended or should be expelled.

Where the principal decides that a student should continue to be suspended, or should be expelled, he shall inform the student in writing and the student may, within 14 days of the principal’s decision being so intimated to him, appeal to the governing body.

Where the student so desires, the governing body shall give him the opportunity to appear before them and be heard in relation to the appeal, in person or through a representative, and in the consideration of any such appeal no governor who has been concerned with the suspension of the student under paragraph (1) of this regulation shall act as a member of the governing body.

The decision of the governing body upon an appeal shall be final.
