Student Disciplinary Proceedings

On account of the fact that Regent’s College is an educational institution, legal procedures and disciplinary response to student behaviour are designed as much as guidance and correction of behaviour as for invoking fair and appropriate sanctions. Though every effort is made to address the seriousness of the offence and the record of conduct, of a given student, specific responses are not rigidly pre-determined.

The College recognises that inappropriate behaviour may result in the student’s inability to solve a problem or manage a situation appropriately. Ultimately, the student must accept responsibility for his / her behaviour and the consequences that result. The College, however, also recognises that legal responses may include providing the students with educational alternatives that assist the student in learning how to handle certain situations. The fundamental hope is that the student can learn and grow from the incident and sanctions imposed in response to that behaviour, and that he or she can make the necessary changes in his / her behaviour to become a constructive member of the educational community.

Other matters referred to in the Security Policy include:

  • Substance Abuse
  • Sexual Harassment
  • Sexual Assault and Rape
  • Date Rape
  • Dating Violence

"The thing I most appreciate at RACL in the small class sizes. You are able to engage with the professor more and he/she in turn gets to know you on a more personal level. The small class sizes also ensure that you recognise and engage with more students on campus. "
