Student Discipline Process

What is the Student Discipline Process?

The Student Code of Conduct sets out guidelines as to the norms of behaviour expected of students at the University of Galway and is overseen by the Dean of Students. More specific guidance as to the University’s requirements of students are from time to time set out in other student policies, which are available on the University’s web site.

The University expects students to behave in a manner which ensures that all students and staff are treated with dignity and respect; that the University can meet its legal, statutory and contractual obligations; that all University property and facilities are used appropriately and that students uphold the good name of the University in their actions both on and off campus. The University will have due regard to a student’s right to freedom of speech within the law and to the relevant University policies.

Breaches of this Code and of any University regulations make students liable to the imposition of sanctions via the student disciplinary process.
