College Policies and Codes of Practice

The College maintains a range of policies and codes of practice to help set expectations around the way that the College delivers its responsibilities and the way that we expect our members (students, staff, Fellows, Senior Members and others associated with the College) to conduct themselves.

In this Student Handbook, the policies and codes of practice are listed with relevant links to the College website where they are printed in full.

 If a policy or code of practice is updated, the most recent version is the applicable version.
