- Overview
One of the College's major functions is to educate its students and
Campion College is committed to the pursuit of excellence in all aspects
of teaching and learning and the provision of service to its students.
Excellence in teaching and learning involves students as active participants
in their educational experience, within which exist responsibilities
and expectations which the College and its students can legitimately
and fairly expect of each other. The purpose of the student charter
is two-fold: it aims firstly to describe the expectations students can
properly hold as they receive their education. Secondly, it describes
what can be expected of students in undertaking their studies to enhance
the quality of their educational experience.
The statements outlined within this charter complement, but should
not be regarded as a substitute for, the provisions of the College’s
rules, policies and procedures. Rather the charter acts as a ready
reference to students' expectations and obligations and to assist
students' understanding
of the environment in which they are participating.
