ALLEGATIONS THAT MAY ALSO CONSTITUTE A CIVIL OR CRIMINAL OFFENCE

i. Where a police investigation or criminal proceedings have been or are likely to be initiated in relation to the alleged act of misconduct, we may suspend the disciplinary process under this regulation (at any stage) until such investigations/proceedings have been concluded. The Disciplinary Procedure may be resumed at any stage should we deem that to be necessary in the circumstances.

ii. Where criminal proceedings have been initiated and concluded, the Director of Registry Services (or nominee) will make a decision whether further action under this regulation is required.

iii. Where an allegation of student misconduct may also be a breach of criminal law, we reserve the right to report this to the Police. University disciplinary processes are not an alternative to investigations by the police.

iv. If you receive a custodial sentence, you will immediately be suspended until such time that action under this regulation can be completed.
