2016-17
Registration
1.1 In this context, ‘registration’ is exactly synonymous with the term ‘matriculation’ which is to be found in previous editions of the University Calendar and other authoritative sources. Similarly, ‘register’ and ‘registered’ equate to ‘matriculate’ and ‘matriculated’.
1.2 Every student of the University, without exception, must complete registration at the beginning of each academic year and pay the fees appropriate to his or her programme of study or research in order to maintain his or her status as a student in the University, or in an Institution recognised by the University Court on the recommendation of the Senate, or in a College associated with the University.
1.3 Any student who fails to complete the registration process at the start of the academic year of study will not be a registered student of the University of Glasgow and may have their studies terminated by the University.
1.4 A registered student shall be entitled to the use of the Library and to the exercise of a vote in the election of a Rector.
1.5 In completing the registration process the student undertakes to observe the Sponsio Academica and the Copyright and Personal Data regulations (see Regulations 2, 40 and 3 respectively).
1.6 A person elected to any student office in respect of which the Senate agrees that the incumbent may interrupt his or her course of study or research is deemed to be a registered student.
Students in Continuing Education and Preparatory Courses
1.7 Students enrolled on non-credit bearing courses and those on preparatory courses are not normally eligible for registration as students of the University. The Senate does, however, recognise for the purpose of registration, credit-bearing courses which, though not of a qualifying standard for any degree or equivalent award of the University, are offered for students preparing for subsequent admission to qualifying courses of the University.
Timetables of Teaching and Assessment
1.8 Teaching will normally be conducted between the hours of 8.30 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. Mondays to Fridays. Exceptionally certain class meetings may be timetabled outside these hours, including but not restricted to evening class and weekend courses offered by the Centre for Open Studies and other School field trips and study abroad.
1.9 Formal assessment examinations[1] will, as far as possible, and with the exception of the Centre for Open Studies, be conducted between the hours of 8.30 a.m. and 6.30 p.m. Mondays to Fridays. However, examinations may be timetabled to end later than 6.30 p.m. Mondays to Fridays or to take place on Saturdays.
Limitation of Admission to Qualifying Courses
1.10 The Senate reserves the right to refuse admission to any particular qualifying course because of restricted facilities either of accommodation or of teaching or for such other reason as in the opinion of the Senate requires it to do so.
Application of Regulations
1.11 Regulations published in the University Calendar shall normally apply, unless explicit provision is contained therein to the contrary, only to students commencing a programme of studies or research later than the date on which the regulations became effective. Any student commencing a programme of studies or research earlier than that date shall be subject to the regulations in place when he or she began that programme unless regulations, including the current regulations, introduced at a later date are considered, after consultation with the student, to benefit the student.
[1] Formal assessment examinations include class tests and practical tests.
