Code of Conduct

Attendance

According to London Crown College Attendance Policy, students must attend a minimum of 80% of their whole course of study.

• If a student is absent in 3 (three) timetabled classes (expected contacts) and that absence is not excused, he/she will be given a warning by E-mail/Telephone.

• Students who have been absent for 6(six) timetabled classes will be issued with a written warning stating that the student will be expelled from the College if he misses 10 (ten) timetabled classes. If the student is absent for 10 (ten) timetabled classes, he/she will be terminated from the College.

• Finally, the College will also notify the UK Border Agency of the student’s failure to comply with the Attendance Regulations.

For more information about student attendance, please refer to our ‘Policy and Procedures on Students’ Attendance and Absenteeism’. 

Punctuality

The College believes that being late for classes is not only detrimental to the academic process of the late comer, but also disruptive for the entire class. A student can be marked as absent if he/she arrives for class more than 20 minutes after the start or leaves the class more than 20 minutes before the end. All students are required to attend daytime classes for a minimum of 15 hours per week.

Academic Progress

You are required to make overall significant progress in order to achieve your goal; enhance your career prospect and comply with the regulations of UKBA. You are permitted to proceed with your approved course of study only if you maintain satisfactory progress as evidenced by attendance at classes, satisfactory performance in examinations and the proper completion of such other work/task as may be allotted to you. Please note that if your progress is unsatisfactory, you will be given extra care and support and other relevant remedial measures to help you make progress. At the same time, you will be warned about the consequences you might face due to your unsatisfactory progress. If you persistently make unsatisfactory progress even after pursuing our remedial measures under a given a period of time, you may eventually be excluded from the College. 

Disciplinary Procedures

The disciplinary procedure is a formal process which applies to all students enrolled at the College. There are two types of activity in which disciplinary action may be required:

General Misconduct

This covers students’ behaviour such as refusal to show the College ID Card, breach of health and safety regulations, being under the influence of drink or drugs, bullying and harassment of others, or carrying weapons.

Academic Misconduct

This covers students’ behaviour in relation to their programme of learning such as plagiarism, and includes any other action or incident considered to be of a similar nature.

In addition, each has three levels of seriousness: Level 1 Minor; Level 2 Serious and Level 3 Major. 

Misconduct – Reasons for immediate suspension (some examples):

• Assault, fighting or other acts of violence, vandalism, bullying and harassment, theft, being in possession of illegal drugs, firearms or other weapons, committing or attempting to commit any act of arson, behaving in a way that brings the College into disrepute.

• Computer hacking, cheating in exams, extensive and/or persistent plagiarism or use of model answers, buying, selling or stealing of work.
