Policies
These include policies on IT usage, discipline, fitness to study, concerns and complaints, bullying and harassment, and the use of controlled substances and legal highs. Links to useful policy documents from the university are also included. If you have difficulty finding a policy, please contact a member of the College Office in the first instance.
We would like to draw your attention to the following policies and documents which are relevant to all our students. You should note that the most recently published version of a policy will normally apply. The exception to this is the university’s Examination Regulations; please consult the version relevant to your year of entry onto the programme of study in question.
Disciplinary Code
The college’s Disciplinary Code (and the procedures which will apply if a student is suspected of breaking them) can be found in the College Regulations (Regulation 10 onwards) on the main website.
Fitness to Study
The college’s Fitness to Study Policy can also be found within the Regulations (Regulation 17). This policy complements the University’s procedures which can be found via the university’s Health and Welfare webpages.
Student College contract
All students are referred to an electronic copy of the student college contract when they receive their college offer letter. When students accept their college offer and subsequently enrol, they enter into a contract with the college. The content of this contract and students’ responsibilities under it are subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the Green Templeton College 2026 Student-College Contract.
Policy and Procedure on Student Concerns and Complaints
This procedure is designed to enable students to raise concerns or complaints in relation to the provision (e.g. facilities and services) that the College makes for its students. Matters which affect the student community in general should be brought via Graduate Common Room (GCR) representation, either to College Officers or to Committees of the College.
Harassment Policy
The college Harassment Policy is published on our website and reviewed regularly. Please also refer to the university Student Welfare section for sources of support.
Policy on the Use of Controlled Substances
This can be found on the Policy documents page of the college website. The college urges individuals who are users of controlled substances to seek help from the medical and welfare services available. Help may be sought confidentially from the College Nurse or Doctor; self-help information is available from the university website.
Smoke Free College
Following extensive consultation with students and staff, the college has introduced a completely smoke free zone across its main campus in Woodstock Road, and all residential and office accommodation annexes. This includes college accommodation in St Margaret’s Road and Observatory Street, Rewley Abbey Court, and Green Templeton’s conference centre at 13 Norham Gardens. Anyone wishing to smoke or vape is asked to respect the smoke free zone and do so away from college premises.
Policy on Paid Work by Graduate Students
Green Templeton has adopted the university’s guidelines on paid work by graduate students. If you are an overseas student, you should also check any restrictions on your visa if you wish to work. More information can be found on the university’s Visa and Immigration webpages
Examination Regulations
The ‘Exam Regs’ contain very detailed information about all the programmes of study offered by the university. Students looking for generic information about exams (what to take, general exam conduct, etc) should refer to the Examinations guidance on the university webpages.
University Student Handbook (incorporating the Proctors’ and Assessor’s Memorandum)
The most recent online version of the university Student Handbook contains information about the university side of student welfare, recreation, academic support, and conduct and discipline.
Please note, that if you feel you have an academic case which should be considered by the Proctors, you should contact Alison Franklin, Academic Registrar and must not contact the Proctors, nor the Chairs of Examiners directly.
