IMESS Student Handbook

UCL - Policies, Rules and Regulations

Academic Regulations

Please consult the UCL Graduate School Code of Practice for Graduate Taught Degrees available from the Graduate Office or here.

Non-academic Regulations

Concerning these regulations on conduct, please refer to the UCL Student Handbook and the section entitled ‘Jurisdiction over Students’. 

De-Registration and Appeal

De-registration may occur on non-academic grounds, e.g. due to failure to pay fees or over a disciplinary matter as well as on academic grounds. For further information.

Any student who is de-registered will be informed in writing and will have the right to make an appeal in person to the Faculty Tutor against the decision. Having heard the appeal, the Faculty Tutor, in consultation with the Registrar, will decide on the appropriate course of action.

Complaints and Grievances

The formal procedures for complaints and grievances are detailed in the Student Rights and Responsibilities section of the Student Handbook, to be found here. However, all students who feel they have a complaint or grievance they wish to pursue are strongly advised to discuss the matter first with their Personal Tutor or, if they cannot do that, with any of the following: the Graduate Tutor, the Faculty Tutor or the Rights and Advice Office of the Student Union. Each of these will be able to advise impartially on the most appropriate course of action.

Data Protection

All personal information about students is held in UCL according to the provisions of the Data Protection Act (1998). To find out more about centrally held information see the UCL Student Handbook.

In addition, SSEES needs to hold data about you in order to carry out its normal administration. That is, we collect, store, use and disclose the data for purposes connected with your studies, your health and safety and for other legitimate reasons. We are committed to maintaining your personal information in a manner which meets the requirements of the Data Protection Act and will take any reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is kept secure against unauthorised access, loss, disclosure or destruction. SSEES will not pass on your personal data to any third party without your consent unless required to do so by law or regulation.

You will be given information about the ways in which SSEES holds data about you and your rights in relation to that data. If you have any questions about Data Protection guidelines and procedures please contact the SSEES Data Protection Co-ordinator, Lesley Pitman. She can be reached by email at l.pitman@ssees.ucl.ac.uk, or by telephone on 020 7679 8703.
