These fine tariffs are reviewed annually.

Other penalties may include a formal written warning, a requirement to apologise (in writing or in person), temporary suspension of privileges (such as visitors or requests to hold parties/gatherings), a requirement to undertake community service or a request to transfer to a different on-campus residence. You may receive one of these alternative penalities instead of/or alongside a fine (depending on the nature of the incident and the impact it has had on the residential community).

Please be advised that if disciplinary action is taken as a result of illegal drugs or extreme alcohol intake then an appointment may be made for you to meet with a University Wellbeing Advisor to explore your behaviour.
