College rules

Classes

1. Students are required to familiarise themselves with the timetables and to observe the hours of attendance at lectures, tutorials, practical work, and all examinations.

2. Every student is required to attend at least three-fourths of the lectures and three-fourths of the practical work, in each subject, in order to complete satisfactorily any year of the course.

3. During classes students must confine themselves to their allotted places. Talking and noise during the delivery of lectures are prohibited.

4. Only such experiments and operations as are sanctioned by the lecturer are to be undertaken.

5. Smoking is not permitted in any building.

6. No chemical, drugs, or biological materials may be taken into or out of the laboratory without the permission of the lecturer-in-charge.

Finance

7. All apparatus lent or hired to students must be returned clean and in good order, or paid for.

8. No student shall be allowed to enter on a new semester at the college while fees for the previous semester are unpaid, unless a satisfactory reason is given to the deputy director.

9. Any damage done to the furniture, fittings, books, specimens or apparatus in the college by any student shall be a charge against such student, who shall be held liable for the cost of any repairs or replacements necessary.

Conduct

10. Before leaving the laboratories students must clean and arrange their benches for the benefit of subsequent classes. Apparatus must be put away in its proper place.

11. Suitable footwear must be worn by students on the college premises.

12. When using the library the rules in force at the time must be strictly observed.

13. Food refuse must either be returned to the dining room or placed in a rubbish bin.

14. All used food utensils and food containers must be returned to the dining room immediately after use.

15. One of the functions of the dean and director and the other administrative officers is to protect life and property. Students interfering with such things as lighting, fire hoses, safety apparatus or door locks can create a hazard to life. Fireworks are banned on college premises.

16. As the college campus, like its budget for cleaning and repairs, is small, any forms of campus 'rags' or games are not permitted.

17. The college is allowing an increasing amount of expensive research and other equipment to be used by students for teaching purposes. Any careless damage to such equipment will be regarded as a serious breach of college rules.

18. Where students have been guilty of any misconduct or breach of these rules, they may be reprimanded by the dean and director and/or subjected to the provisions of the discipline statute.

Warning

Students are requested to exercise the utmost care with drugs and chemicals, many of which are either inflammable or poisonous. A particularly strong warning is given to students concerning the handling of live microorganisms, and exposure to radiation of any kind. Take no liberties. Where the slightest doubt exists, refer to a member of staff. An outline of the safety procedures adopted by the college is given in the booklet `Safety precautions and emergency procedures' which is issued to students at the start of the course.
