Residential Code
Latest Amendment/Approval Date: Jun 2022
College accommodation is a unique type of community living that requires careful consideration of others. It demands a willingness to participate, flexibility, and a commitment to guidelines that ensure the safety, security, and comfort of everyone. Additionally, it requires a readiness for independent living and a responsible attitude towards your living and learning environment, as well as towards the staff and fellow residents.
The College accommodation rules work in conjunction with college rules and policies (in particular, the Student Code of Conduct), as well as laws in force in the state of New South Wales.
If you choose to live in the Campion College accommodation, you agree to:
- Act in a considerate manner towards your fellow residents and staff.
- Take responsibility for your own health and wellbeing.
