A Fitness to Practise concern does not automatically result in removal from your course.
Under the University's current policy, possible outcomes of a formal Fitness to Practise hearing include:
- no warning or sanction;
- a warning where misconduct is established but Fitness to Practise is not considered impaired;
- conditions or undertakings;
- suspension from the course for a specified period;
- removal from the professional course, potentially with an opportunity to transfer to a non-professional course; or
- expulsion from the University.
Where a sanction is considered, the University's policy requires sanctions to be considered in ascending order of seriousness, and the response should be proportionate to the concern.
