Definitions:
For the purposes of Regulations 11 and 14 the following definitions shall apply:
"University Accommodation" means the Halls of Residence, and any other accommodation managed by the University and occupied by students of the University;
"Accommodation Owner" means the University or any person who owns or has an interest in the University Accommodation.
1. General
The Residence Support Managers and Residence Support Assistants have authority within their respective halls of residence to check disorderly behaviour which amounts to substantial inconvenience to residents.
Persistence in such conduct after instructions to desist shall constitute a disciplinary offence. As Designated Officers, Residence Support Managers have the authority to deal with alleged breaches of discipline at Level 1 as defined in Regulation 20.19. These provisions also apply to conduct which amounts to substantial inconvenience to residents of the campus and of Keele village.
2. Breaches of Rules
Breaches of rules drawn up and published in halls of residence by either residential blocks or a hall council, being a body of students by which rules relating to conduct in the Hall are made, may be treated as disciplinary offences. Such rules must always have the prior approval of the Residence Support Manager.
3. Residence
Undergraduates must reside in University accommodation where such accommodation is available. See Regulation 12.2 regarding applications to live off campus.
4. Study/Bedroom
a) Each student shall enter into an agreement with the Accommodation Owner for their use of a study/bedroom which is allocated to a student exclusively for his/her own occupation. Overnight guests are not permitted in halls of residence unless they are properly booked in and paid for.
Breach of this rule shall be a disciplinary offence. The same terms and conditions apply to the remaining facilities/services provided in the block.
b) Overnight guests must be booked in and paid for through the procedure published by the Student Accommodation Services.
c) No pets of any description are allowed in the residences.
5. Flats and Other Self-Contained Accommodation
Flats and other self-contained accommodation are occupied under licence agreements entered into between the student concerned and the University. Nothing in the terms of that agreement shall be taken as limiting or removing the power of the Residence Support Managers or Residence Support Assistants to take action under this Regulation against any student occupying such accommodation. Any breach of the terms of the agreement may be treated as a disciplinary offence under this Regulation.
6. Occupancy Periods
a) Study/bedrooms are allocated for fixed periods varying from 33 to 51 weeks, beginning at the start of the academic year. Students are charged for the complete period of the occupancy irrespective of late arrivals or early departure.
b) Students taking up occupancy are required to pay for the whole period.
7. Personal Property
a) No responsibility can be accepted for personal property in residences.
b) Students not returning to the University are not permitted to leave their property behind in the University, except with the permission of the Deputy Head of Residential Operations. Any property left without permission is liable to be donated to charity after a period of six months has elapsed after a student has left the University.
8. Registration of Home Address
a) All students are required on admission and at the beginning of each academic year to register their home address on the enrolment/re-registration form provided.
b) All changes of address must be registered promptly, using the eVision Web Portal.
9. Correspondence Address During Vacations
Students who wish to have communications sent to them during vacations at a temporary address and non-resident students who wish to use their local address in vacations should register this address using the eVision Web Portal. Formal communications to students in vacations will be sent to the registered home address unless a temporary or local address is recorded under the provisions of this paragraph.
