The Student Charter

This Charter sets out the relationship between The University of Northampton and its students, irrespective of the intended mode of delivery and wherever they may be located.

It is intended to provide a framework through which The University of Northampton and its students can work together to create a positive environment for learning and academic achievement.

Whilst the Charter does not constitute a legal document, your enrolment with The University of Northampton implies a contractual arrangement whereby you are entitled to receive appropriate tuition and other support to assist you in completing your chosen programme of study. We are entitled to expect certain levels of involvement and compliance from you. Thus you have both rights and responsibilities as a student and so do we as providers. This Charter sets out the principal obligations on each party.

The Charter applies to all students enrolled on taught programmes of The University of Northampton. Applicants and research degree students have their own charters.

The University of Northampton is a diverse community and is committed to treating all members of staff, students and applicants fairly and equitably regardless of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, religious or political beliefs, membership of professional associations or trade unions, disability, marital status, family responsibilities and socio-economic standing or any other category where discrimination cannot be justified.

The Charter should be read in conjunction with the General Student Regulations which contains the academic rules and regulations and procedures in relation to appeals and complaints. By enrolling with The University of Northampton you are agreeing to abide by its academic and general regulations and related departmental regulations.
