ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of all students and recognises the importance of a student’s health and wellbeing in relation to their academic progression and overall experience.

The Fitness to ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Policy [PDF] will be considered when a student’s fitness to study causes concern, and all other procedures and options have been exhausted.

For example, where the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ becomes aware that:

• A student poses a risk to their own health, safety or wellbeing (and/or that of others)
• A student’s behaviour is (or is at risk of) adversely affecting the teaching, learning or experience of other students; or the day to day activities of the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½
• A student’s support needs fall outside the scope of the professional support and other services which the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ can reasonably be expected to provide, directly or indirectly
• A student appears to be unable to engage with academic study

The Process is not disciplinary in nature and is concerned with the wellbeing of the student and the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ community.

Students referred through this process can seek further guidance and support from the Students’ Union (Beds SU) Advice Service be.supported@beds.ac.uk

This policy came into effect from the academic year 2018/19.
