The Student Charter aims to respect their autonomy, but also to set out the general principles which underpin the University's provision. The Student Charter applies to all registered students of the University, following taught courses or research degrees of the University. Access to some services will inevitably be restricted for students who are studying for University of Leeds qualifications at other locations in the United Kingdom or abroad. In such circumstances, the University will make every effort to ensure that necessary provision is available to its students locally. For students following courses validated by the University at other institutions of higher or further education, services will be provided by the institution at which they are registered.
Students also have responsibilities.
The Student Charter sets out the University's expectations of its students especially in respect of the part they must play as active and independent partners in the educational experience. Finally, the University will aim to meet all the commitments set out in the Student Charter. Nevertheless, it is constrained by resources and students must accept that the University may not be able to attain all its aspirations under the Student Charter where its resources are restricted for financial reasons. Operate admissions procedures which are clearly explained and which ensure that all applicants are considered on the basis of their aptitudes, skills and abilities in relation to their proposed programme of study. Provide information about the facilities and services which are available to students.
