If you fail to keep to the Code of Conduct this will be dealt with by a member of staff raising a 'cause for concern' note. The detail of your behaviour is recorded on this note and sent to your Personal Tutor. The action taken by the Tutor will depend upon the seriousness of your behaviour and could lead to use of the Student Disciplinary Procedure.
