We expect that all members of the college community will respect others whatever their sex, religion, language, culture, ethnicity, sexuality or abilities. Racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of discrimination and harassment therefore have no place within a community based on mutual respect.

• We uphold the law and also have our own internal rules and procedures in order to maintain our ethos and protect the rights of others.
• We support the right of all students to use the college facilities and resources provided for them, while expecting them to take responsibility for supporting this right for others.
• We agree to listen to and respect other people’s point of view even if we do not agree. We agree to solve disagreements without resorting to personal abuse, violence, hostility or the threat of violence.
• We believe that courtesy, self-discipline and respect for the environment are essential to providing good working conditions in the college community.
• Members of the college community should respect the personal property of others.
• We accept that only by showing a commitment to this Code and to college expectations will a student be able to achieve success and to contribute to the quality of life within the college community.

As a college catering for young adults we believe in keeping rules and regulations to a minimum. We prefer to rely on the common sense of our students in their interpretation of the above principles. There are, however, a number of specific activities which we would always regard as incompatible with our philosophy and aims, and which would therefore attract disciplinary action against offenders.
