IMPORTANT INFORMATION

BU Student Agreement 2022/23


STUDENT AGREEMENT

You can find the information about our rules and regulations in our Student
Agreement. You need to know about these as they include important information
about what happens if you’re not able to submit an assignment, payment of
tuition fees and more. The Student Agreement forms the basis of the contractual
relationship between you and us so please read through this agreement before you
apply. We will remind you about it when you accept your offer and register with
us as you’ll be asked to confirm that you have read, understood and agree to it.
Alternative formats are available on request formats@bournemouth.ac.uk.

You may have other contractual arrangements with us, such as arrangements for
accommodation or other services that you use while you are at BU – these will be
separate arrangements. For more information visit our SportBU and Accommodation
pages.

If you are a postgraduate student undertaking a research degree, there are
separate terms that relate specifically to your research and your funding. We
will explain these when you apply.

You may also have other contractual arrangements with other organisations, such
as a sponsor or funder, the NHS if you are on an NHS professional course, the
Student Loans Company, accommodation providers or others. You must make sure
that you understand these separate arrangements.

Registered students of BU become members of the Students' Union but you have a
right to opt out of this membership. If you do not wish to be a member of the
Students' Union, you should opt out of membership when you register online, or
email the President of the Students' Union. For more information, see the SUBU
website.

If you are studying at one of our partners, the main student agreement is
between you and the partner. However, some of BU's procedures, such as
complaints and academic offences, will apply to you. You may be required to
follow the partner's procedure before you can escalate the issue at BU. We have
noted this in the Student Agreement where it is relevant.


STUDENT CHARTER

We've also put together a Student Charter, developed in conjunction with your
Students' Union (SUBU), to set out the principles we subscribe to and how we
expect everyone who's part of our BU community to behave. It's not legally
binding and explains what you can expect the university to do for you, as well
as what we expect from our students.
