STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE
At City of Glasgow College, we’re committed to helping every student succeed in a supportive, respectful, and inclusive learning environment.
We want all students to feel safe, valued, and empowered. That means any behaviour that harms the dignity, safety, or comfort of others will be taken seriously. This Code of Conduct outlines what is expected from you as a student so we can all work and learn together positively.
These expectations apply to all students and applicants — on campus, online, and during any College-related activity. This list isn’t exhaustive, but it provides clear guidance. If these expectations aren’t met, disciplinary action may be taken. Full details of the policy can be found on our website.
SMOKE AND VAPE FREE POLICY
SMOKE AND VAPE FREE POLICY
We're proud to have smoke-free and vape-free campuses at City of Glasgow College. While we respect your choice to smoke or vape, we must protect everyone's right to a healthy environment by eliminating the risks of second-hand smoke and vapor.
Exposure to tobacco smoke and vapor, whether by smoking, vaping, or passive inhalation, is the largest single preventative cause of death and disease in the UK. That's why both our Riverside and City campuses are smoke-free and vape-free.
Our Smoke and Vape Free Policy, in line with the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005, makes it a criminal offense to smoke or vape in no-smoking areas.
