Student Conduct
London Metropolitan University is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for all students, staff, and visitors. No-one at the University is expected to tolerate any form of misconduct.
Reports of misconduct made in good faith are treated very seriously and are investigated sensitively and fairly by trained staff.
Student Conduct and Disciplinary Policy 2026-27:
- expected standards of student behaviour
- definitions of types of misconduct
- how to inform the University if you have experienced or witnessed misconduct and what support is available
- how the University investigates allegations of student misconduct
- what penalties can be applied to students who are found to have behaved inappropriately
Previous years policies:
Student Conduct Policy July 2025-26 and Student Conduct Policy June Updated 2024-25
Standard of Conduct
All students of London Metropolitan University are expected to:
- Act safely with regards to the safety and well-being of others and in use of the University’s teaching, services, and premises
- Act in accordance with university policies, rules and regulations, and relevant legislation and external compliance
- Be respectful of others’ rights and dignity by treating all individuals fairly and with consideration
- Act within the law and not take part in activities or actions that are reasonably likely to negatively affect the reputation of the University
- Be honest, act with integrity and take accountability for how their actions may affect others
By accepting an offer at the University, students sign up to the University’s terms and conditions, which means that they agree to conduct themselves in the ways listed above, whether that be to other students, members of staff, visitors to the University or members of the local community.
Support for students affected by misconduct
The Students’ Union Advice Service can provide free independent and confidential advice to students involved in the Student Conduct process, whether you are reporting misconduct or you have been accused of misconduct. This includes support in submitting a misconduct report, in attending Conduct meetings and disciplinary panel hearings, understanding the outcome and the appeal process. You can contact the Advice Service via their contact form.
There is a range of student support services at the University – find out more on the Student Services webpage. Some external specialist support services are listed on the university Report and Support portal.
Reporting misconduct
Anyone who has experienced or witnessed inappropriate behaviour by a student is encouraged to report this to the University by completing the misconduct incident report form.
No-one will be disadvantaged by the University in any way by reporting misconduct.
The Students’ Union Advice Service can support students with completing the form.
The Reporting Party’s name and email address are required before submitting a misconduct report form. It is not possible to submit the form anonymously. If you are concerned about reporting with your details, please speak to the Students Union Advice Service.
Anonymous disclosures of misconduct can be made on the University Report and Support portal. This does not automatically lead the University to investigate the reported incident as we will not usually have the necessary information to do so. However, anonymous reports can provide us with information to inform prevention work across the University.
Investigating misconduct
Submitted misconduct report forms will be received by the Student Conduct Team who will contact the Reporting Party and explain what happens next. If a reported incident is one which falls within the scope of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Policy 2026-27, this will be formally investigated by trained staff in accordance with the procedure described in section 22 of the Policy.
All parties will be treated with dignity and fairness throughout a Conduct investigation.
Reasonable adjustments to the Conduct procedure can be made for disability or health reasons.
Misconduct Appeal Form
After a Conduct investigation, an outcome letter is sent to the responding party. If the allegation of misconduct was upheld, the letter will explain how to appeal the outcome if they wish to, and the deadline. Please complete the form below:
Misconduct Appeal Form 2026-27
Misconduct Appeal Form 2025-26
The Office of the Independent Adjudicator
If after appealing the Responding Party remains dissatisfied with the outcome, once university procedures have been completed, they can submit a complaint to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) for Higher Education within 12 months if they meet the eligibility criteria.
Student Conduct Team
The Student Conduct Officers are Emma Price and Lizzy Pollard: conduct@londonmet.ac.uk
Students - please contact us with any questions or concerns about misconduct you have experienced or witnessed, or how to report this, or about Student Conduct and Disciplinary Policy 2026-27 or procedure.
Staff – please contact us with queries about student misconduct matters, which we can discuss with you.
