I have discussed my study programme with a course leader or lecturer and confirm that I have received information and advice appropriate to my needs. I believe I am fit to study my chosen course and registered on the right study programme for me. I agree to uphold the Colchester Institute’s / UCC’s expectations at all times. I agree that:

Policies

• I will be expected to comply with all policies and procedures laid down by Colchester Institute and University Centre Colchester https://www.colchester.ac.uk/ucc/ucc-policies-and-procedures/. I understand that failure to adhere to the policies may result in my place on the course being withdrawn.
• I am expected to have read and understood the Colchester Institute IT Code of Conduct and University Centre Colchester student disciplinary policies; including Fitness to Study and Fitness to Practise policies.
• I must comply with the regulations as stated in the UCC Student Handbook for Colchester Institute and the regulations, where appropriate, for an Awarding Body.
• Educational assessment includes formative and summative assessment, tutor and peer assessment, performances, exhibitions and portfolios.

Conduct

• I must not make publicly available, by any means, any information that Colchester Institute would reasonably deem as harassment, bullying, defamatory, libellous, breach of intellectual property or which expresses extreme political or religious opinions.
• University Centre Colchester may contact my next of kin regarding my attendance, progress, achievement, wellbeing, welfare and personal safety if there are sufficient reasons to do so.
• I must wear my University Centre Colchester ID card and lanyard whilst on College premises and whilst representing the College.

Other

  • I confirm that all course work submitted in my name is entirely my own work, unless specified otherwise by myself.
  • I must inform Colchester Institute if I have any criminal convictions, prosecutions pending or I am under Police Investigation whilst I am a registered student. I also understand that failure to do so may lead to disciplinary action.
  • Colchester Institute may use photographs and video and audio recordings in which I or my work appear for educational purposes.
  • Any work created as part of my programme of study as a University Centre Colchester Student may be anonymised and be made available to other students as an example of best practice.

I agree to the following Fee Declarations:

  • Colchester Institute reserves the right to contact my sponsor, if a sponsor is paying any fees, regarding my attendance, progress and achievement.
  • I am expected to have read and understood the University Centre Colchester Fee Policy 2024/25 (https://www.colchester.ac.uk/ucc/ucc-policies-and-procedures/) and that I will abide by the payment options and rules and that it is my responsibility to ensure fees are paid. If I withdraw, intermit or transfer from my course I will be liable for any outstanding fees. If I do not make the agreed repayments in full and on time, University Centre Colchester may inform debt collection agencies in order to recover the money owed and additional costs may be incurred.
  • All fees must be paid in full before completion of my award or qualification. If there are any outstanding debts, transcripts and certificates will not be issued and I will not be permitted to attend graduation.
  • The College may, as necessary during the year, vary the delivery model of my course. For example, a course that starts as predominantly classroom based might be required to move on-line. I understand this would not be a cause for a full or a partial refund.

I authorise Colchester Institute to provide academic references as requested.
I agree that, on occasions, photographs or video images may be taken of me for promotional activities.
I consent to University Centre Colchester sharing information regarding my attendance, achievement, progression and support arrangements to named individuals. (You will need to complete the University Centre Colchester Information Sharing Agreement form during induction.)

I declare that I have read and understood the terms and conditions on my Registration Form. I confirm that all the information provided on this form is correct and will notify Colchester Institute of any changes whilst I am an enrolled student.
