Welcome to the official UCD Student Guide and Diary 2012/2013

UCD Student guide & Diary 2012/2013

1

The Guide incorporates important information about being a student, helpful advice about getting the most out of your time at UCD and a handy diary which includes some dates you will need to be aware of. This Student Guide’s primary purposes are: to highlight to you the different aspects of life in UCD, from student support to on-campus services, and to give you an accessible route into important rules, policies and regulations of the University that you, as a student, are required to observe.

It is worth noting that the rules and regulations are abridged within the Guide and the full text of these documents can be found online at www.ucd.ie/registry/academicsecretariat/pol_regs.htm

You must read them and be aware that you are bound by their provisions. We hope that you find this Guide useful during the year and that this year will be a happy and successful one for you.

UCD Student Support UCD has a large number of staff whose specific job it is to support students and look out for their welfare. Attending university can be a very difficult and stressful time for many students; financial and other worries can result in students feeling unable to cope.

If you encounter any of these issues and would like to discuss them with someone, don’t hesitate to chat with your student adviser, your Students’ Union Welfare Officer or anyone else listed in this section and let them know what’s on your mind.

All of these Support Systems work together to help YOU!

Don’t think twice about seeking help. There’sno harm in asking.

There is no issue too big or too small.

Worrying about it may impact on yourstudies.

Support staff will do what they can to helpput your mind at ease.

There’s no shame in seeking help; theseindividuals are professionals and won’t judgeyou.

Please Talk urges students to understand that talking is a sign of strength and if you’re experiencing problems while at college, there are people there to talk to. It promotes this message through a joint effort between various support services in the University and UCD Students’ Union.

These support services include: chaplains, counsellors, student advisers, the welfare officer, disability support services and many more.

The Please Talk Committee is made up of staff and students and was established in 2007 to promote the campaign and organise new ways to get the message across and support students. Since then Please Talk has run a number of events all over the UCD campus including breakfast mornings, mental health talks, a candle-lit vigil, a t-shirt competition and many others. These events aim to increase the awareness of Please Talk but also to promote the message that talking is a sign of strength.

You too can get involved in the campaign by dropping down to Mícheál, the Welfare Officer, or emailing [email protected].

Support FAQ

Your Student Adviser is attached to your programme and will be located in your building. Going to see your Student Adviser is a good first step when you encounter problems or are having difficulties. Don’t be worried that you might be going to see the wrong person; if they can’t help you they will point you in the direction of the other services available to you.

It is quite normal to find college daunting initially, however there are lots of support services available to you, you will find a list of people you can talk to in this diary on page 16.

Again this is a normal feeling amongst students especially if you are living away from home for the first time. It takes time to settle into college life, and remember many people are feeling the same, talk to other students in your class, laboratory classes or tutorials. Your Peer Mentor will be organising meetings, if you go along to them; you will get valuable information about student life and will meet other first year students.

I am homesick and I miss my family and friends from home.

I am having difficulty settling into college and I am feeling overwhelmed – who can I talk to?

Do you know you have a Student Adviser and what do they do?

You should let your module co-ordinators know if you are absent for more than a few days. You will need to catch up with missed work and keep an eye on Blackboard all the time. You should bring any Doctor’s certificates to your school and always keep a copy. If you are going to miss a lot of time you should consider completing an extenuating circumstances application.

There is a Health Centre located in the Student Centre. Full details can be found on their web page www.ucd.ie/stuhealth

Your Student Adviser will provide a listening ear and help you to identify some opportunities for change.

Call to your Programme Office for questions relating to your programme.

Most lecturers will have office hours during the week when they are available to consult with students. You can also email them and you will find email addresses on Blackboard and the UCD Staff Directory.

You should talk to your Programme Office for advice.

I will be/have been absent from the university, what do I need to do?

I’m feeling unwell – is there a doctor on campus?

Peer mentoringUCD offers first year undergraduate students an opportunity to be part of a peer mentoring programme. This programme aims to provide first years with ongoing peer support during their first year at UCD. Mentors are students themselves and meet with first years a number of times during the year to discuss any problems or challenges that arise while settling into UCD.

The Peer Mentoring programme is co-ordinated by the Student Advisers and the Engagement Officer for the BA.

Elena Gamble Student Engagement Officer for the BA G002, Newman Building T: (01) 716 8610 E: [email protected]

Linking in and staying connected with your Peer Mentor is a great way to ensure you get involved and stay in the picture.

The Student Health Service provides on-campus medical and psychiatric care to registered UCD students. The service is provided with an ethos of respect, courtesy and integrity and operates to the highest professional standards.

The service is envisaged as an addition to the student’s own family doctor or specialist medical services. It operates within resource constraints so certain service limitations apply. Students should continue to attend their own General Practitioner, especially if Dublin based. The Student Health Service is located in the Student Centre Building on the Belfield Campus. All consultations are treated in strict confidence.

DoCToR & NURSe APPoiNTmeNTSAll consultations with the doctor are by appointment only. Please contact us by telephone or call into the Student Health Service to make an appointment. Please book a routine appointment for non-urgent problems or to follow up a pre-existing condition in advance. If you need to see a doctor urgently you should contact us in the morning to avail of our daily clinic for urgent appointments only. These appointments are designed to cater for one urgent condition and will be slightly shorter than a normal consultation.

In addition to normal consultation services certain ancillary services are provided. These include STI screenings, contraception, travel vaccinations and sports injury appointments.

Student Counselling ServiceThe UCD Student Counselling Service is committed to supporting positive student mental health and well-being. Its aim is to provide easily accessible support for students when personal issues arise that affect their happiness, well-being, capacity to cope, relationships or learning.

Just as in any group of people, students can encounter difficulties, particularly in the transition from school to college or at times of pressure during college years. Difficulties can range from minor concerns and stresses to major life crises. Although in many cases students may find ways to deal with these issues themselves or with the support of friends and family, there are times when it is beneficial to seek professional help. Counselling offers students the opportunity to get this professional help, to think about new ways of addressing difficulties and to be supported while doing so.

The SeRViCe

The Student Counselling Service is a confidential, individual counselling service to students of the University. The service is located in the Student Centre. At the first meeting between a student and a counsellor the counsellor will explain how the service works and answer any questions that a student may have. The service is resourced by clinical psychologists, counselling psychologists and counsellors.

TimeS oF SeRViCe

Consultations are by appointment. Monday to Friday: 9.30am - 5.00pm T: (01) 716 3133 /3143 W: www.ucd.ie/studentcounselling

UCD Student Complaints office The Student Complaints Office is governed by the Student Complaints Policy and Procedures document which was approved by Academic Council in December 2006. The policy was established to provide clear guidelines for students to tackle problems that they may encounter whilst attending the University.

As students you have the right to lodge a complaint against a School, Service or individual in the University if you feel that your legitimate expectations are not being met. Your grounds for complaint might relate to areas including:

Teaching and academic facilities•Academic services•On-campus accommodation•Student support services•Administrative services•Alleged actions or inaction by the University or a member of its staff•

There are two stages to the Student Complaints Procedure: Informal and Formal. There is also an appeals process.

Your complaint should initially be raised as near as possible to the point at which the problem occurred - in the School or University Service - and should be pursued informally in the first instance. However, if your complaint cannot be resolved informally at local level, the University has adopted a procedure which also allows for complaints to be pursued, impartially and objectively, at a formal level. The Student Complaints Office manages the formal procedure to be followed if and when the complaint has not been resolved informally. Information about the Student Complaints Procedure is available atwww.ucd.ie/complaints

If you have any questions regarding the procedure or if you would like advice or assistance, please contact the University’s Student Complaints Officer to arrange an appointment.

UCARD The University provides its students with non-transferable personalised student UCARDs. The UCARD allows for the identification of students while on University property and provides access to a wide range of facilities and services through its integrated smartcard technology.

UCARD is the new campus smart card which is integrated into the University Student card. The objective of the UCARD is to put in place a common campus card to serve the many current and future uses for cards in UCD.

The UCARD = 1 CARD FoR All FUNCTioNS

The electronic purse is used for various services on campus from catering outlets, laundry, photocopying & printing and much more. The UCARD is easily managed via an online portal in SISweb which can be accessed from any PC. From the ‘MY UCARD’ tab in SISweb you can load value onto the card with your laser or credit/debit card, view your card balance, most recent transactions and loyalty UPOINTS earned, and, if necessary, ‘hotlist’ your card which deactivates it if it has been lost.

The student UCARD ensures that the facilities are appropriately accessed and utilised and that the University community is protected from the actions of persons not registered in the University. The student UCARD remains the property of UCD at all times.

yoUR UCD STUDeNT UCARD iS yoUR oFFiCiAl iDeNTiFiCATioN CARD FoR The DURATioN oF yoUR PRogRAmme iN UCD.

If you’re a returning UCD student, you will not have to queue each year for a new card. The student UCARD you already have is designed to last you for the duration of your programme in UCD. Only new students or students changing programme (e.g. going from a Bachelor degree to a Masters) will be issued with a student card this year.

Campus Safety Services Generally speaking UCD Belfield campus is very safe with few incidents of crime. The UCD Unicare program is a community approach to promote personal safety for all students, staff and visitors through awareness, partnership and prevention. In order to ensure a safe and secure environment in UCD everybody is encouraged to play their part in looking out for their own safety and for the safety of others. Throughout the year the Unicare website will highlight various important issues of concern for all in UCD. Your continuous support and vigilance is essential for the success of the UCD Unicare programme.

You should use the UCD Unicare number to call for emergency assistance or to report any issues regarding personal safety and security of property on campus, e.g. an accident/emergency, fire, theft, reporting suspicious or troublesome persons or reporting an incident you may have witnessed. The UCD Unicare emergency line is operated 24 hours a day and assistance will be provided in response to your call. UCD Unicare red emergency phones are located throughout the Belfield campus.

In Case of Emergency (ICE) is a program that enables first responders, such as paramedics, fire-fighters and police officers, to identify any injured persons and contact their next of kin to obtain important medical information. ICE cards are available at the Campus services desk. ICE makes it far easier to call next-of-kin in the unfortunate event of a medical crisis and reduces needless delays. For more information

Student Societies Societies are an exciting feature of life at UCD. There are more than 100 of them covering everything from debating and creative writing to juggling and dancing and everything in between. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to get involved during Freshers’ Week and join as many societies as you can, most of them for no more than €2 each for membership!

FReSheRS’ WeeK: 17-21 SePTembeRYou can join societies during Freshers’ Week, which takes place in the second week of term from 17-21 September. Each society will have a stand in the Freshers’ Pavilion, which is located beside the Student Centre for the week. You can also join societies after Freshers’ Week, with most taking membership anytime during the year, or more specifically during Refreshers Day, which takes place at the start of Semester 2.

During Freshers’ Week there will be a range of activities run by all the societies which are advertised on posters around campus. Many societies also offer specific events for Freshers and new members, and give an opportunity to meet up with other people who have newly joined. You should try to join the society that represents your school or course, as well as other societies that offer events and activities that you find interesting. It’s important to move outside your ‘comfort zone’ a little bit, to enjoy new opportunities. Societies are an ideal way to meet new friends and get involved in student life.

hoW Do i FiND oUT WhAT’S goiNg oN?

UCD eVeNTS WebSiTeYou can find out more about UCD’s student societies and also keep up-to-date on their events during the year by visiting www.ucd.ie/events.

PoSTeRSKeep an eye on the noticeboards where most societies advertise their events, in particular on the concourse beneath the library.

iNDiViDUAl SoCieTy SiTeS & FACebooKMost societies have a Facebook account or a website where you can check out everything that’s happening.

WhAT KiND oF ThiNgS Do SoCieTieS Do?There are far too many societies to try and mention them all but here are some of the society activities that you’ll find going on regularly:

The DRAmA SoCieTy has two plays on each day of the week and allows student writers, directors and actors flex their creative muscles. More importantly, Dramsoc needs many more people to be involved, even just painting sets, working on lighting and sound and general production work – there’s room for everyone!

Society of the Year 2012 is DANCe SoCieTy, while the Small Societies of the Year were LGBT and VetSoc.

UCD’s two largest debating societies, the liTeRARy AND hiSToRiCAl SoCieTy and the lAW SoCieTy both have lunchtime and evening debates each week as well as other events. In the past few years they featured such famous and diverse guests as JK Rowling, Will Ferrell, Bill Bryson, Noam Chomsky, The Simpsons stars Harry Shearer (Homer) and Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Ken Doherty, Jon Heder, Paul O’Connell, Scrubs stars Neal Flynn & John McGinley, Ardal O’Hanlon, author Jung Chang and many more.

Most societies run social events like coffee mornings or nights out which are great ways of meeting new people. Some societies run film screenings on campus, most notably the Film SoCieTy.

A lot of societies have trips during the year, all over Ireland and also to the UK, France, Spain, Germany & Italy, to name just a few destinations! Get involved and travel where you want!

Societies also run all the main Faculty and Programme Days - look out for these, including Eng Day, Sci Day, Comm Day, Med Day and Ag Week. They raise thousands of euros for charitable causes and are always great fun to be involved with.

Societies are also the main organisers of all the big formal Balls and Club nights on campus. Your year isn’t complete unless you’ve attended your faculty or School Ball!

For full details of all clubs, visit www.ucd.ie/sport/clubs

Membership of a club is open to registered UCD students, UCD staff and recent graduates of the University (subject to the approval of the Athletic Union Council).

Classes will be delivered at three levels: Low Impact, High Intensity and Suitable for All to cater for a range of fitness levels participating in the programme. There is a wide variety of indoor and outdoor exercise classes which are led by qualified fitness professionals and these instructors will inspire and motivate you through this seven week programme.

UCD Community musicalIn February 2013 the UCD Community Musical will return to the O’Reilly Hall. Over the past four years members of the UCD community – students, staff and alumni – have come together to sing, dance, act, build, design and perform to make the Community Musical one of the biggest events on campus. The UCD Community Musical started in 2008 with West Side Story followed by Guys n Dolls, Footloose and the highly successful Beauty and the Beast in 2011.

In its 5th year the UCD Community Musical is taking on its most ambitious production to date: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. This iconic show needs a big cast and even bigger crew to make it the amazing production it promises to be. So whether you are interested in performing, technical, costumes, marketing, directing, sales, design, sponsorship or any other aspect of putting on a musical, contact the society to find out how you can get involved.

Auditions and open days will be held in week 5 of term to learn more about getting involved on and off-stage. Email or check out the society’s website or Facebook page to find out more.

UCD Fashion ShowThe UCD Fashion Show has been a highlight in the social calendar of Ireland for the past decade and in previous years has been the largest ever student fashion show in Europe. Returning with a bang in 2011 the Fashion Show has been a resounding success for the last 2 years raising much needed funds for charities like The Marc Owen Medical Fund. This year, however, it will be the Community Musical’s turn to take centre stage with the Fashion Show hoping to return again in 2013/2014.

Students and staff at UCD volunteer in the areas of culture, recreation, education, research, health, social services, environment, development and housing, law, advocacy and politics, philanthropy and the promotion of volunteerism, international concerns, faith-based action, in business and professional associations, unions and many others. UCD encourages all members of the community to consider giving time to a cause, an organization, or club or society to benefit our community—across UCD and beyond. UCD believes that volunteering produces active citizens that contribute to an improved quality of life for all.

Students who volunteer learn important life skills that can change their attitudes, perceptions, life-long habits and ability to find employment and become responsible citizens. UCD students can register and track their volunteer record during their time at UCD. UCD students who have participated in structured UCD programs like UCD Volunteers Overseas, Peer Mentoring, Orientation Guides, Tutoring, as leaders in Clubs and Societies and for organizations outside of UCD may keep a record of their voluntary activity for their own use and to help UCD promote other socially responsible program development. UCD wishes to celebrate the active citizenship and service of its community to solve local and international challenges, to deliver important services while creating ways to belong and to feel connected with others who are like-minded.

UCD VolUNTeeRS oVeRSeASUCD Volunteers Overseas is a charitable organisation and UCD Society which offers students, staff and alumni of University College Dublin the opportunity to engage in voluntary work in developing countries. UCDVO currently runs projects in India, Haiti, Nicaragua and Tanzania and works alongside local communities in carrying out small-scale development projects which respond to local needs.

UCDVO works on projects in the areas of education, environment, healthcare, construction and information technology. Projects take place for four weeks over June/July and an average of 100 volunteers travel each year. UCDVO not only provides opportunities for volunteers and host communities to share and develop skills, it also generates greater understanding and respect for differing cultures and life experiences. Volunteers who participate in the UCDVO programme take part in development education training workshops pre-departure and on return. Volunteers are encouraged to engage in awareness-raising activities which highlight their experiences overseas and also draw connections with wider development issues.

The UCDVO programme runs over one academic year. Applications for the 2012/13 programme will open online www.ucdvo.org on the 17 September 2012 and, following an interview process, volunteers will be selected by the beginning of November. Each volunteer has a fundraising target of €2,500 which must be reached before travelling in June. Volunteers carry out events such as table quizzes, bag-packs, sponsored walks/cycles/runs and coffee mornings to raise funds throughout the year. These funds support the volunteers’ participation costs as well as the project implementation, i.e. building a school, running an education programme for disadvantaged children, setting up computer labs or working on a flood prevention project.

For more information please visit www.ucdvo.org or www.facebook.com/ucdvo. You can also speak to past volunteers by dropping into our Volunteer Office beside Readers Café in the Library Building.

UCD mUSiCUCD Music has several performing groups that students can audition to join: the UCD Choral Scholars, the UCD Philharmonic Choir and the UCD Symphony Orchestra. Making music together is a great way to meet people and it is also part of the educational concept behind UCD Horizons. Students can participate in these ensembles for course credit if they wish.

UCD ChoRAl SCholARShiPSUCD offers 18 scholarships (worth €1,000 on average) to singers each year, awarded on the performance of candidates at an audition held in the second week of term (17 September 2012). UCD Choral Scholars can also be taken in a module through the School of Music (apply by audition) . Successful candidates sing as part of UCD Choral Scholars, the University’s premier vocal ensemble. Last year UCD Choral Scholars won two medals and a special jury prize at a competition in Italy. They have recorded two award-winning discs, won national competitions and regularly work with the European Union Chamber Orchestra and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra performing major concerts in Dublin and beyond.

UCD Choral Scholars perform to an exceptional standard of excellence and are cultural ambassadors for the University. Being a Choral Scholar is a great way to meet students from other courses in UCD and make friends for life. If you are interested in auditioning please see recruitment page at www.ucd.ie/choralscholars. Feel free to contact the Artistic Director directly before 14 September 2012.

bord na gaeilge UCD &the irish language officer

Bord na Gaeilge provides a broad range of services for both Irish and international students. These include free courses in conversational Irish at five levels, online courses, music and dance workshops, weekend Gaeltacht courses and bilingual cultural courses. It organises regular activities on campus for those who wish to use the language in an informal environment such as ‘Lón le Gaeilge’ where students can gather to hear guest speakers and musicians over lunch. Bord na Gaeilge provides sponsorship for a broad range of student activities, societies and clubs which use the language and the annual Bord na Gaeilge Awards recognize students past and present who make an outstanding contribution towards the promotion of the language.

One of the Bord’s most prominent projects is ‘Teach na Gaeilge’; the Irish Language Student Residence Scheme, based in the Merville Student Residences, where 24 students from various subject areas live together ‘as Gaeilge’ and organise lots of social and cultural events. Bord na Gaeilge welcomes all students, from beginners to advanced, to partake in its activities.

UCD HorizonsUCD Horizons is the name given to the structure of undergraduate degrees at UCD. UCD Horizons has three main features: it is modularised, semesterised and credit-based. With UCD Horizons you have an input into the design of your degree.

modules Your programme will be made up of a set of modules. There are three types of modules:

Core modules which are mandatory for your programme

option modules which you can pick from a list of possibilities within your programme area

Elective modules which you can pick from anywhere across the UCD curriculum

With UCD Horizons you will usually register for 12 modules per academic year (each module is normally 5 credits, amounting to a normal workload of 60 credits in total per year). Generally, the majority of your study will be in your programme area(s); some modules may be compulsory (core modules), others will be options, where you choose modules that interest you from a set of modules in that subject. You will then be able to choose additional elective modules – these may be chosen from your programme area(s) or from anywhere else within the entire University curriculum (e.g. Music, Biology, French, Maths).

UCD Horizons It is up to you to decide whether you wish to broaden your knowledge by taking elective modules from outside your programme, or to deepen your knowledge by focusing on modules within your programme degree area.

For example, Sociology students may be able to take a module in Law, Medical students may be able to take a Philosophy module, or Science students may be able to take a Business module. It is important to remember that your choice of elective modules may be constrained by:

The module requirements (i.e. knowledge/study required prior to taking a module)

Timetable clashes

Availability of places in the module

SemestersYour academic year has two distinct parts called semesters. The semesters generally run from September to December and from January to May with a mid-semester break in Semester 2. Normally, a semester will comprise of 15 weeks: 12 weeks teaching and learning, one week revision and two weeks of exam assessment. Six modules (usually equivalent to 30 credits) will generally be taken per semester; however, you may decide to take fewer or a greater number of modules in a given semester depending on your own circumstances (subject to student workload norms as set down in UCD’s General Regulations).

CreditAll modules have a credit value and for each module you pass you will gain credit towards your final degree. The credit-value of a module corresponds to the total amount of student effort (in hours) required to successfully complete the module. As most modules are worth 5 credits, this would require 100-125 hours of total student effort for each module. Modules at a value of 10 credits require 200-250 hours of total student effort. Credits are like an internationally recognised currency which represents teaching and learning activity. As UCD participates in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), it is also easier for you to study abroad as part of your programme if you wish to earn credit towards your degree in UCD. You will obtain your degree when you have earned the correct number of credits—usually between 180 and 240 credits, normally spread across 3-4 years.

Subject Credit block:

A block of modules taken in a subject area or field of study. For example, Stage 1 Arts students may take subject blocks across the Arts and Human Sciences spectrum.

Degree Programme:

This is the course you will study – such as a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (BAgrSc) or Bachelor of Engineering (BE).

module:

A self-contained unit of teaching and learning, which is studied over a semester. Each module has a credit value. A 5-credit module will require 100 - 125 hours of work. This includes lectures/seminars, self-directed study and assessment.

Stage:

Modular programme’s work on the principle of credit accumulation and you will progress through your programme in stages as you accumulate credit. A degree programme will normally be between 2-4 stages.

majors and minors:

These terms refer to the proportion of credit allocated to each subject you study as part of your degree. Degrees can be configured into different combinations. For example, in some programmes (e.g. BA) you may choose to configure your degree as a ‘joint major’ – where you study two subjects of equal credit value. Alternatively, you may choose a major/minor combination, where the major subject attracts more credits than the minor. The relevant Programme Office can provide you with information about the different combinations available within specific degree programmes.

What’s different about learning at university?Being accepted to university is a wonderful achievement. You are about to begin a very exciting time in your life, where you’ll make strong friendships, and develop new ways of learning that are relevant to the global and rapidly changing world around you. A university education is as much a chance to learn about a subject in detail as it is an opportunity to acquire the skills to learn which you will continue to use long after you have graduated from UCD. While you are studying at university you will be expected to:

Become an independent thinker.

Challenge some of the knowledge you have taken for granted.

Form critical judgements about issues in your field of study.

Learn with and from other students.

Take responsibility for your own learning.

managing yourselfThe academic year is divided into two 12-week teaching semesters. Things move quickly, so it is important to stay on top of your assignments and study. While you will have scheduled time in a classroom, you will also have a lot of free time over the course of the day. Therefore the expectation is that you will:

Attend class (lectures, tutorials, seminars, laboratories etc).

Study and undertake additional reading.

Prepare for class and undertake independent learning tasks.

Complete academic work of approx. 40 hours per week.

making a Success of University learning


effective learning habitsLectures are an important learning resource as they will provide you with guidance to the key issues you need to learn about, understand and explore in your subject. Smaller group learning activities, for example tutorials/laboratories, provide invaluable opportunities to discuss complex issues and are often focused on preparing you for assessment tasks. In order to be an effective learner, you will need to:

Know what’s expected of you by reading the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for your modules. Blackboard is a good place to start.

Be honest with yourself about what you understand and what you haven’t yet fully grasped.

Ask questions of your lecturers, tutors and classmates about things that you don’t yet understand.

Be patient – effective reading, writing and note-taking skills take time to develop.

Understand what your learning style is and work in a way that maximises this.

Academic Regulations The Academic Regulations are a set of high level, overarching rules governing the University’s educational offerings comprising: General Regulations, Regulations for Research Masters Degrees, Regulations for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Regulations for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine, Regulations for the Degrees of Doctor of Nursing and Doctor of Midwifery, Regulations for the Degree of Doctor of Governance and Regulations for the Degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medical Specialisation.

All students, including students returning to their programme following a leave of absence or withdrawal, are governed by the Academic Regulations in place in the academic session they (re) register. The status of PhD students returning from a leave of absence whose first registration was prior to 2006 may be determined by the relevant Graduate School Board.

The following short list of basic principles extrapolated from General Regulations may be of particular interest to students. It must be remembered, however, that the full set of regulations for your programme apply to your study at UCD.

For the full set of Academic Regulations, including access to the Online

Users’ Guide to the General Regulations and the Student Code, go to

Most modules will count for 5 credits, but some may count for morecredits if they merit it.

Student performance in a module will be graded using letter gradesranging from A+ (at the top of the scale) to NG (at the bottom of thescale) with a corresponding ‘grade-point’ from 4.2 to 0.

Performance across the range of modules that a student undertakes willbe calculated using a Grade-Point Average (GPA) system, which is anaverage of grade-points awarded for each module, weighted accordingto the credit value of the modules for which the grades were awarded.

You will receive a GPA at the end of every stage (stage GPA). You willalso receive an award GPA when you have completed your programme,which will be used to determine your award classification (e.g. 1st classHonours, 2nd class Honours, etc.).

If you fail a module you may either re-sit the assessment, repeat themodule when it is next offered or substitute the module with anothercompatible module. Each of these options has a different impact onthe grade(s) available to a student who is remediating a failure. Forexample, a re-sit only carries a pass/fail grade. For a repeat, the gradepoint is capped at 2.0 (equivalent to a grade of D-), irrespective of theactual grade awarded. For a substitution, the full range of grades isavailable for option and elective modules only.

module grades explained Please see below information pertaining to grading in the modular system. A user’s guide to UCD Academic Regulations is also available at

www.ucd.ie/registry/academicsecretariat/pol.htm

You will receive final module grades which have been formally approved by the University.

AggRegATiNg ComPoNeNT gRADeSComponent grades as below are normally aggregated to arrive at a final module grade for each module you are registered to. This may involve the aggregation of the various component grades or marks.

The overall module grade you receive is the final approved result awarded to you by the University. Normally this will have been aggregated from component grades or marks as described below. However, in some circumstances, and for sound educational reasons, an examiner will calculate your overall module grade using different criteria or a different mark-conversion scheme. If this is the case, it will not be calculated as specified below and you will be notified of the criteria used by your School or Module Co-ordinator.

Where a component is marked rather than graded then the overall component mark is retained in calculating the final grade. Where a component is graded rather than marked the calculation point (as shown on the component grade scale below) is used in calculating the final grade.

Calculations of final module grades also take into account the weighting attached to the various components making up the module.

A+, A, A- Excellent e+, e, e-

b+, b, b- Very Good F Fail

C+, C, C- Good g+, g, g-

PASSiNg gRADeS – AS, bS, CS AND DS A’s, B’s, C’s and D’s are passing grades that are awarded on satisfactory completion of the module assessments. The credits available for the modules are converted to credits earned. Note: Passed modules cannot be repeated.

e gRADe (gRADe PoiNT VAlUe 1.6)E grades are failing grades, which have a grade point value of 1.6. These E grades may be converted to E(C) grades (pass with compensation) in the circumstances outlined in the section below.

e(C) gRADe (PASS by ComPeNSATioN)E(C) grades (pass with compensation) are awarded where E grades have been compensated. E grades are then converted to E(C) grades and carry the same grade point value of 1.6.

For compensation, you must:

Have completed and obtained passing grades in modules 1. accounting for 75% or more of the total credit required to successfully complete the stage (usually 45 credits or 9 modules).

Have a Compensation GPA for the attempt at the stage that is 2.00 2. or greater.

e gRADe (NoT PASSAble by ComPeNSATioN) Some modules are designated as ‘not passable by compensation’, such as, for example, foundation modules that are pre-requisites for further study in some languages. Where this is the case, the E grades remain and still retain the value of 1.6.

F, g, Ng gRADeSF, G and NG are failing grades. If you fail a module you will be required to repeat, resit or substitute the module in order to obtain the necessary credit for the module. The circumstances under which you can remediate a failed module are set out in the section on remediation in the online user’s guide to the Academic Regulations that can be accessed at

www.ucd.ie/registry/academicsecretariat/asug/remediationoffailedmodules


http://www.ucd.ie/registry/academicsecretariat/asug/remediationoffailedmodules

RePeAT gRADeSWhere grades are followed by (R) this indicates that the module was assessed in repeat mode. Where modules are repeated and passed, the grade point is capped at 2.0 irrespective of the actual grade awarded, i.e. a B+ grade or a C grade can be awarded for the repeat attempt but the grade point value remains at 2.0.

ReSiT gRADeS There are three module grades available for you if you have attempted a resit assessment. These are as follows:

grade When Awarded? Credit grade Point

P Pass Student achieves a pass for the module

Awarded 2.0

F Fail Student fails to achieve a pass for the module

None 1.0

NG No relevant attempt

Student shows no relevant attempt at the module

None 0

AssessmentsAssignments, class tests, essays, exams,presentations, projects and reports.

Unlike your experience at school, universities use a wide range of assessment types and some will be new to you. All assessments are important in developing your learning. For example, assessments in the early weeks are designed to give you an early indication of your own progress. You will have at least two assessments per module and there are 6 modules in each semester. In order to do well in a module you will need to:

Undertake and submit all of your assignments/assessments, particularly those required early in the module.

Ask for assistance from your lecturers/tutors if you have difficulty understanding what you’re expected to do.

Use the indicated readings and other learning resources to prepare for your assessments.

Ensure that the assessment is your own work and that you correctly acknowledge the work/ideas of other people (see: http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/).

Understand the assessment criteria and check your own work to see how well it meets these before you hand it in.

Ask your lecturer for feedback on assessed work and guidance on how to improve your next piece of work.

There are a number of books which provide advice on how to be successful at university; here are two Irish books:

How to be a Student: 100 great ideas and practical habits for students everywhere Moore, S. & Murphy. (2005)

Managing Your Own Learning at University: A Practical Guide Moran, A. (2000)

SU education office The Students’ Union has a full time officer who is responsible for your academic and educational affairs. This year your Education Officer is Shane Comer. Shane has been elected from the student body and therefore understands exactly how it feels to be a student. He will deal with any issues you may have in a friendly and confidential manner. If you feel you have been treated unfairly or have any queries you can speak to Shane and he can represent you and your interests at many University meetings and committees. Feel free to call into Shane in his office in the Students’ Union with any problems or questions you may have.

Shane also runs the Grindsfile service in UCD. This is a directory of people who are willing to give grinds in various different subjects. The file will highlight the tutor’s level of knowledge in the area and the cost! To access the Grindsfile simply visit www.ucdsu.ie and look under Education!

The Education Officer is also in charge of the running of the Students’ Union Bookstore. Secondhand books are sold here at a greatly reduced price. For more information you can drop down to the Bookstore in the Student Centre or visit bookstore.ucdsu.ie

Assessment Tips Your results, both provisional and final, will be posted online through the Student Information System (SIS) Web, which you can access through UCD Connect. For an indication of when this will occur please consult


During the examination PeriodCheck and re-check your examination schedule. It will be available online at www.ucd.ie/registry/assessment/info_ stu.htm about one month in advance of the exams. Make sure not to miss/forget about an exam.

Don’t stay up all night before your exam. The precious little you do manage to absorb will be neatly cancelled out by the difficulty you’ll have concentrating the next day in the exam hall.

The night before a morning exam, set several very loud alarms and hide them in interesting and novel parts of your bedroom.

Make a deal with a friend to call each other before exams to make sure that you’re both up and on your way.

You can help yourself by eating well and avoiding over-usage of stimulants like sugar and caffeine. Some physical activity is a good way of working out stress and counteracting the inactivity of sitting at a desk in the library.

Stress management is important during the assessment period. Remind yourself of the big picture, remember that there are second chances and make some time for diversions. Set aside an hour or two regularly and do something fun. Try to change the scenery, maybe mix with people who aren’t at university and won’t slip into chatting about study.

To view a copy of the examination regulations visit


on the day of the examinationBring your UCD Student Card and anything else the regulations require. Bring something to drink and at least one spare pen.

Bring a calculator (non-programmable), drawing tools or any other special equipment if they’re allowed. Do not bring anything else into the Examination Centre, as you may be accused of cheating. (No phones/programmable calculators.)

Allow extra time for getting to the Examination Centre and check public transport is running as usual, especially on Saturdays.

During the examinationRead everything first and choose your questions carefully. Use your rough work sheet to sketch the structure of your answers and to jot down concepts and facts. You can pick up marks this way.

Answer the number of questions you are asked to. If you attempt only 2 questions when 3 are required, then you’ll be marked out of 67%. The 30 minutes you spent perfecting your answer to Question 1, bringing it up a grade, has netted you about 4% more for that paper as a whole and lost you about 20% which you would have got for taking a stab at the third question.

Answer the question, not something vaguely like it.

Obey the Examination Regulations.

examination Regulations Available online at www.ucd.ie/registry/assessment/info_stu.htm

These regulations: (a) facilitate the proper conduct of examinations(b) provide for a well-ordered and calm environment in which candidates

can complete their examinations (c) ensure that no candidate can gain unfair advantage over their peers.

Candidates should be in attendance at the examination centre at least a quarter of an hour before the commencement of each examination.

They should be seated and silent at least five minutes prior to the commencement of all examinations and should pay strict attention to details of emergency and safety procedures and to a résumé of examination regulations that are provided by the Invigilator-in-Charge.

Except in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Invigilator-in-Charge, candidates:

Will not normally be admitted to the Examination Centre if they •are more than fifteen minutes late. Candidates who arrive late should notify the invigilation team leader of their presence and wait to be seated by an invigilator.

Will not be permitted to leave the hall until one hour has elapsed •after the time at which the examination began (an early exit may prevent entry by any latecomers).

Will not be allowed to return to the Examination Centre.•

Candidates will not be permitted to leave the Examination Centre during the final ten minutes of the examination period (this facilitates the orderly collection of examination scripts).

Students who are required to register and have not done so may be refused permission to sit an examination. Repeating students who are required to enter for examinations and fail to do so may be refused permission to sit those examinations. Candidates are required to be in possession of their student card, which should be displayed on their desk.




AC

AD

EMIC

Notes or other unauthorised materials should not be taken into the Examination Centre.

Notes, books, or other materials should be left outside the Examination Centre or handed to an invigilator before the commencement of the examination.

Students later found in possession of notes during an examination are liable to disciplinary procedures and serious penalties (see other Policies and the UCD Student Code).

Mobile phones or other electronic communications devices should not be taken into the Examination Centre, nor should they be left powered on within the vicinity of the hall.

Candidates must ensure that they answer the correct paper. The title of the paper should be checked and instructions read carefully before answering is commenced. Any query should be immediately brought to the attention of an invigilator.

Invigilators are present in the Examination Centre to ensure the proper conduct of the examination and to deal with problems that may arise.

Candidates are obliged to follow instructions issued by invigilators. Please listen carefully to all announcements. If anything is required during an examination, candidates should call the attention of the invigilator. Under no circumstances should candidates leave their places.

Silence must be maintained in the Examination Centre at all times.

EMIC

Candidates are responsible for ensuring that all scripts and MCQ sheets are handed up.

Where a candidate has finished before the end of the examination period, the attention of an invigilator must be called and the answer book(s) handed to the invigilator. At the end of the examination period candidates must remain in their seats in complete silence until their scripts have been collected. Scripts must be handed up immediately on request to an invigilator. Candidates must ensure that their student number, seat number and any other particulars required are written on every answer book.

Where there are several answer books, candidates should insert them in one another to form a single package. Where treasury tags are given out, students must use these to bind their scripts together and be responsible for handing the package to an invigilator.

UCD examination stationery must not be taken from the Examination Centre. All answer books, used or unused, or other supplied material must be handed up. Students found to be in possession of such materials are liable to disciplinary procedures and serious penalties may be imposed.

Smoking is not permitted in Examination Centres. Smoking breaks are not permitted during examinations.

The use of programmable calculators is not permitted during examinations unless their use is specified on the examination paper by the examiners.

Candidates who infringe any of these Regulations will be reported to the Supervisor of Examinations, who will deal with the matter according to the disciplinary procedures outlined in the UCD Student Code.

Assessment Appeals Procedures Students are entitled to appeal against any decision taken by an Assessment Board regarding the results of assessments they have taken.

However, there must be grounds for an appeal (set out in the Regulations below).

Such grounds might include the effect of an illness or a family trauma on the student’s performance or might be related to an alleged irregularity in the way in which the assessment was organised and conducted. A claim that the mark awarded was incorrect may also be considered but only in cases where the student has a legitimate academic reason. An appeal where the reason is “I feel (or believe) that I should have done better” is not a valid academic reason and such an appeal will be returned to the student.

Prior to lodging an appeal based on a claim that the grade awarded was incorrect the student must contact the School concerned and view their assessment script. The student must meet with the module coordinator and/or examiner and have the awarded grade explained to him or her. Note, this is not a bargaining session for a student to obtain a few more marks. If, after the meeting, the student still has a valid academic ground for disputing the grade, the student can then lodge an appeal. It is not the lecturer’s role to provide students with information on appeals. Appealing is the student’s choice and decision alone.

Also, “class action” appeals are not accepted where one student submits an appeal on behalf of the whole class or group. Each individual member of the class or group must submit his or her own appeal. This is to ensure that a student who may have been happy with the mark awarded does not have to appeal if he or she does not want to. Appeals are individual decisions and no student should feel pressurised to submit an appeal simply because other people may be unhappy.

Formal Regulations Here are the relevant parts of the Regulations governing an Appeal:

Students may appeal to the Academic Council Committee on Assessment Appeals (ACCAA) against the result of any assessment of their work. Such an appeal may only be made after the result of the module has been approved at a meeting of the relevant Programme Examination Board. A student who wishes to appeal the result of a module shall lodge the appeal, in the prescribed format, with the Assessment Appeals Officer.

The ACCAA will normally consider an appeal only when it has been lodged with the Assessment Appeals Officer within thirty days of the date when the result of the module was made available to the student. Only in rare and exceptional circumstances, the Assessment Appeals Committee may, at its absolute discretion, decide to consider an appeal at any time.

gRoUNDS FoR APPeAl:The only grounds on which the ACCAA will consider an appeal are:

1) Irregularity. There is evidence of substantive irregularity in the conduct of the assessment process.

2) Extenuating Circumstances.

2.1) There were extenuating circumstances of which the Dean was aware but had rejected because the application was late and the Dean did not consider the reason as to why the application was late to be valid.

OR

2.2) The Programme Examination Board did not appreciate the seriousness of the extenuating circumstances.

3) Incorrect grade. Following the findings of the School’s examination review process, a claim is made, on stated grounds, that the grade awarded is incorrect.

PRoCeSS oF APPeAlS:No appeal will be processed if the student does not meet any of the above grounds or if the appeal is incomplete. The Assessment Appeals Officer will return all such appeals to the student and will specify the reasons as to why the appeal could not be processed. The student can resubmit the appeal once all issues have been addressed.

After an appeal has been processed the Assessment Appeals Officer shall write to the student to acknowledge receipt of the appeal and to advise the student:

That the appeal may not be successful.

That all correspondence and queries in relation to the appeal are to be directed to the Assessment Appeals Office.

That, pending a decision on the appeal by the ACCAA, the student should, where possible, re-present for assessment, on the understanding that a re-sitting of an assessment will not prejudice the decision of the ACCAA.

That the conferring of a degree or other award may be deferred, pending the decision of the ACCAA.

That, without prejudice, the student may, where appropriate, advance to the next stage of his or her programme, pending the decision of the ACCAA.

On receipt of an appeal in relation to a module result, the Assessment Appeals Officer shall send a copy of the appeal to the Head of School or another designated person responsible for the administration of appeals in the School. The School shall be requested to respond to the appeal within thirty days. In rare and exceptional circumstances the Committee reserves the right to decide in favour of the student, should the School not co-operate with the appeals process. Such cases will also be referred to the Registrar.

The ACCAA will require evidence of any medical or other circumstance which may have adversely affected the student’s performance at the assessment. Where evidence is submitted, such as a medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner, only original copies will be acceptable. If it is discovered that an appellant has submitted fraudulent documentation with their appeal, the appeals process will immediately cease and the appellant will be referred to the Registrar for disciplinary action.

The ACCAA shall consider each appeal on the grounds on which it is based, in accordance with the principles of natural justice. To assist it in coming to a decision the committee may consult the intern examiner(s) and the extern examiner(s) or other appropriate persons.

The ACCAA shall decide on an appeal, where necessary, by a simple majority vote of the members present and voting. The member of the committee chairing the meeting shall have a casting and a deliberative vote.

Where the ACCAA decides to amend a module result, Assessments shall be so informed and shall amend the record of the module result.

The Assessment Appeals Officer shall inform the appellant and the Head of School (or other designated person), in writing, of the decision of the Assessment Appeals Committee.

A student appealing the results of a module shall pay a fee. This fee shall be refunded where the appeal is successful.

ThiNKiNg oF gRADUATe STUDieSgRADUATe ReSeARCh PRogRAmmeSA research degree such as a Research Masters or a PhD involves the sustained and in-depth study of a specific topic which is then written up as a thesis for examination. Research degrees involve students carrying out their own research and academic study under the supervision of one or more academic supervisors. The precise focus of research is agreed between the supervisor and the student.

Research Masters Degree Level 9

Research Masters Degrees provide education and training in aparticular subject through original exploration and research. AResearch Masters usually takes one to two years full-time or twoto four years part-time to complete. The research culminates in athesis which sets out the conclusions of the research undertaken. The assessment and award of the degree are based on the thesis.

UCD Structured PhD Level 10

The UCD Structured PhD aims to enable UCD PhD students to achievethe best possible experience of graduate research and training. Makinga substantial and original contribution to knowledge, normally leadingto peer-reviewed publications, is the core objective of doctoral studies.The Structured PhD includes several innovative measures designedto support students in achieving their academic and professionalobjectives, including the Doctoral Studies Panel (DSP) and Researchand Professional Development Plan (RPDP).

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Achievement of a high honours degree standard in a relevant discipline area is the normal minimum entry requirement to a taught Masters Degree programme.

For applicants who do not meet the required minimum entry standard a year-long qualifying course may be available in some cases. In addition, many Masters programmes have an associated Diploma course which, if passed at an appropriate honours level, may provide part of the necessary academic qualification for entry. In this case relevant work experience may be an essential requirement.

For Research Masters Degrees, course work and examinations may also be specified by the College at entry (normally a 2.1 honours degree entry requirement). Any course work, examinations etc. must normally be satisfactorily completed in the first year of a Masters degree programme.

To be eligible to enter one of UCD’s PhD programmes a candidate must have reached a high honours standard at the examination for the primary degree. In some cases a Masters degree may also be required. In certain cases a candidate may be able to provide other evidence to the School in order to satisfy the entry requirements of the programme.

Please note that for all of the above, reference should be made to the relevant School or programme for more specific information on entry requirements.

TRANSFeRAble SKillS AND CAReeR DeVeloPmeNT TRAiNiNgAs a PhD graduate your skill-set will naturally include the advanced research and analytical techniques required to undertake high level research in your field. You will also be expected to possess a range of transferable skills relevant to the successful completion of your research project and to broader career development. Approximately 80% of PhD graduates pursue careers outside academia - in business, industry and the public and voluntary sectors. PhD graduates develop wide-ranging skills beyond their sphere of academic expertise such as time management, negotiation, communication, flexibility and adaptability, the ability to quickly process and sift through large amounts of data and the ability to acquire new skills quickly. This means that PhD graduates are versatile and capable of pursuing a wide range of careers.

introduction1.

University College Dublin is a community of staff, students 1.1. and graduates joined together for the common purpose of the advancement and dissemination of knowledge. Its chief officer is the President and its chief statutory bodies are the Governing Authority and the Academic Council.

The President, the Governing Authority and the Academic 1.2. Council have statutory responsibility, under national legislation and the Charter and Statutes of University College Dublin, in matters concerning the conduct and duties of the staff and students of the University. In practice, this responsibility is often exercised through the Officers, College Principals, Deans, Directors of Institutes, Professors, Heads of School, lecturers or other academic or non-academic staff, as appropriate in the daily life of the University.

The Statutes of the University impose a duty on the Academic 1.3. Council “to regulate the discipline of the students of the University and to impose penalties for breaches of discipline, subject to the right of a student to appeal any penalty to the Governing Authority”. This code sets out these Disciplinary Regulations. It is available, free of charge, from the Registrar of the University, and it is published annually.

Norms of behaviour2.

The University sustains commitment to quality in teaching, 2.1. learning, scholarship and research; emphasises the value of honesty, integrity, commitment, engagement and achievement; and emphasises commitment to equality, and to dignity and respect for all members of the University community. As a consequence all members of the University community are expected to act responsibly at all times, to observe and abide by the Regulations of the University, and not to engage in any activity which might bring the good name of the University into disrepute.

Student Conduct with Reference to Academic Courses3.

Students are required to attend regularly and punctually the 3.1. lectures and classes of the courses of study for which they have registered and to which they have been assigned, and they shall, in all laboratory activity, field exercises or research work, seminars or any other academic work, conform to the directions of the Head of School or of the staff member responsible.

Students may experience a range of serious and unanticipated 3.2. difficulties, which adversely affect their ability to study, complete assessments or attend their required lectures and other learning activities. Normally such circumstances will include serious illness, hospitalisation, accident, family bereavement or other serious personal or emotional circumstances. The University has a policy and procedure to consider such extenuating circumstances and is available at www.ucd.ie/registry/academicsecretariat/pol_ext_circum.pdf. Students can obtain the Extenuating Circumstances Guide for Students and Application Form from their respective Programme Office, Student Support Professional (a designated College Student Support Professional; a member of the Access / New ERA or Disability Support Service staff; an official UCD student counsellor, UCD Chaplain or the UCD Student Union Education Officer and Welfare Officer) and Health Centre.

Should any student, during lectures and classes, or while 3.3. engaged in laboratory work, research work or field exercises, seminars or any other academic work, be responsible for any breach of good conduct or discipline, or fail to obey instructions from any member of staff, or breach any regulations, such a member of staff may require the student to withdraw from the particular lecture or class or other academic activity; the staff member, if they shall think fit, may bring the matter to the notice of the Registrar or his/her nominee for appropriate action to be taken.

Student Conduct on Work Placements4.

Where students, as part of their academic programmes, obtain professional instruction or are placed for training, professional experience or work experience at a school, hospital, farm, company, professional practice or other workplace (referred to below as “the host institution”), they should be aware of all relevant University policies.

Students registered to such programmes should observe the following code of conduct:

Students should conduct themselves in such a way as to 4.1. reflect credit on the University and its students and not to bring the University or the host institution into disrepute.

Students should conduct themselves in such a way as not to 4.2. bring the University into disrepute with the host institution.

Students should respect the staff, the property and the 4.3. activities of the host institution as they would the staff, the property and the activities of the University; conduct which would constitute a breach of this code if directed towards the staff, property or activities of the University shall be considered a breach of the code if directed towards the staff, property or activities of the host institution, and section 5 of this code shall apply in relation to damage to the host institution’s property as if it were the University’s property.

Students should acquaint themselves with any traditions, 4.4. codes of conduct or internal regulations of the host institution and should comply with such traditions, regulations or codes of conduct.

Students should, if eligible, apply for membership of any 4.5. professional body relating to the profession for which they are studying, and should conduct themselves within the general ethics of the profession and comply with any professional guidelines in so far as they are applicable to students.

Students should comply with the reasonable and lawful 4.6. instruction of their supervisors.

Students should comply with any disciplinary procedures 4.7. or processes of the host institution or of the profession for which they are studying and shall be liable to any penalty which may be imposed following due process.

For the purpose of enforcing this code, the University 4.8. shall be entitled, but shall not be obliged, to investigate any complaint against a student arising from any alleged misconduct while on placement or any alleged failure to comply with a host institution’s traditions, regulations or codes of conduct and, following the appropriate disciplinary procedures, the University may impose a penalty in respect of such misconduct or failure to comply with a host institution’s traditions, regulations or code of conduct as a breach of the Student Code.

Programmes that lead to a professional qualification and/4.9. or a licence to practise that require students to undertake practical training in a professional environment with patients, clients or other service users may be subject to the University’s Student Fitness to Practise Policy. Students registered to such programmes should familiarise themselves with the policy and comply with stated programme fitness to practise requirements.

Damage to Property5.

Students are required to make good to the satisfaction of 5.1. the University any damage or loss which they intentionally cause to any property of the University or for any such loss or damage which arises as a result of their being reckless or negligent. Students are similarly required to make good any damage or loss which they cause to the personal property of any other student or member of staff.

breaches of Discipline6.

Any act or omission, which affects adversely the rights of any other member of the academic community, or which disrupts the orderly and responsible conduct of any University activity, or which violates any University Regulation, shall constitute a breach of discipline.

Disciplinary Committee Procedure10.3.

The following procedure shall be followed by the Disciplinary Committee:

The Registrar or other University representative 10.3.1. appointed by the Registrar or his/her nominee shall present the case to the Committee.

The student shall be asked to admit or deny the 10.3.2. alleged offence.

If the student admits the substance of the charge or 10.3.3. complaint to be true, it shall not be necessary for the Registrar or Registrar’s representative to offer evidence, although both parties may make such submissions or addresses as they wish in relation to the penalty.

If the student denies the alleged charge, the 10.3.4. subsequent procedure shall be fair and reasonable having regard to the nature of the offence and the penalties laid down in these Regulations. In particular the following practices shall be observed:

(a) all the evidence shall be heard in the presence of the student and of the student’s representative and they shall be given the opportunity to cross-examine all witnesses called by the Registrar or Registrar’s representative who likewise may cross examine witnesses called by the student;

(b) the student shall be given the opportunity of offering evidence themselves and witnesses and documentation relevant to the issues;

(c) the Registrar or Registrar’s representative and the student or student’s representative(s) shall be given the opportunity to make submissions after evidence has been taken including representations in regard to the penalty where

Where a student fails to attend a Disciplinary 10.3.5. Committee hearing and the University has made reasonable attempts to accommodate the student, the Committee may decide to adjudicate on the matter in the student’s absence, relying on the documentation furnished to the student and to the Discipline Committee according to Section 10.1.3 of these Disciplinary Procedures.

Where a student is found guilty of the offence or offences charged, the Committee is empowered to impose any of the following penalties, either separately or in combination:

bicyclesA bicycle is a great way of commuting to and from UCD. Unfortunately every year there are a number of reports of bicycle thefts on campus. In order to eliminate this problem we are encouraging all users to consider the following steps:

Always loCK yoUR biCyCle, even if you are just leaving it for a couple of minutes.

Lock your bicycle ThRoUgh The FRAme to a bicycle stand.

Always secure bicycles to oFFiCiAl biCyCle STANDS, never in front of a fire exit, handrail, etc.

SeCURe RemoVAble PARTS - lock both wheels and the frame together.

Choose a gooD QUAliTy loCK. Cable and wire locks are far less effective than a good quality hardened-steel U-lock or D-lock. If possible, avoid the use of combination locks. As a rule of thumb a lock should cost at least 10% of the value of the bicycle - a cheap ineffectual lock will not deter thieves.

Take a clear, colour PhoTogRAPh of your bicycle and make a written ReCoRD of its description, iNClUDiNg SeRiAl NUmbeR and any other unique features, so that if stolen you can report it accurately.

RegiSTeR yoUR biCyCle. UCD in conjunction with An Garda Síochána are encouraging all bicycle owners to register their bicycle with a bicycle registration service such as Bike Shepard (www.bikeshepherd.org). This simple process enables you to register your bicycle for free online. A stolen bicycle can then be flagged and has a greater chance of recovery. You can also check to see if a bicycle you are considering purchasing has been reported stolen. For further information visit the Bike Shepard website or the UCD Bike Shop.
