Fitness to º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù Policy

The purpose of the Fitness to º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù policy is to ensure an appropriate response by the University in exceptional cases where:

1. There are concerns about a student’s current capacity to engage in academic engagements, maintain their own safety or to reside in the College communities of º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù without adversely impacting their peers or College staff. The Policy reiterates the University’s commitment to supporting students in their academic progression and lays out the framework for how concerns will be addressed in those cases where the range of supportive measures that the University may be reasonably expected to provide have been employed but have not satisfactorily resolved concerns.
2. A student intends to participate in University-related activities in the near future and where there are outstanding concerns about a student’s capacity to engage in the activity without adverse impact upon themselves or others once the process of risk assessment and health screening have been completed.
