The University of Huddersfield Students’ Regulations

This is a useful source of information. Keep it in a safe place.

September 2006 edition

Introduction

This booklet brings together the major regulations approved by either the Senate or the University Council which affect either students’ courses of study or their personal conduct.

In September 1998 the previous Students’ Handbook of Regulations and the Assessment Regulations were incorporated into one document. Additions and amendments to this edition are available at this page.

Enrolment on a course at the University is deemed to constitute acceptance of these Regulations.

The regulations are issued to all students at the point of enrolment.

Continuing students should visit the Registry website at the start of each academic year to view any changes to the regulations.
