We are in a partnership with you while you are at Perth College UHI and aim to support you in meeting your educational goals.
This partnership approach means that we both have rights and responsibilities in relation to your studies. You have responsibilities as a student to yourself, your fellow students, and our staff and so we expect you to put effort into your studies, to behave responsibly, to attend regularly and to hand in assessments on time. In return, you have the right to be treated fairly and equally.
We work to ensure that from your first enquiry, to asking for advice when you want to move on, a range of excellent services are available to you. The Student Charter outlines in full our joint rights and responsibilities. Perth College UHI has signed up to this, and when you enrol, you will sign up to it too.
Perth College UHI will provide you with:
- A prompt, efficient and fair response when dealing with your enquiry, application and selection.
- Information and support if you have a disability or additional learning needs.
- An impartial information, advice and guidance service covering education, careers, finance and personal matters.
- A comprehensive Induction programme.
- Education of a consistently high standard.
- An opportunity to comment on your course and your experience of the College.
- Services delivered in a non-discriminatory manner, promoting equality of opportunity for all.
- An environment which promotes good relations between people of all racial groups.
- A prompt and through investigation of any complaint, leading to a solution within a reasonable time.
- An environment where diversity is recognised and valued.
- A range of documents and information, including: A Student Guide outlining services and support; a Handbook of Student Information which will be available for reference at points throughout the College; a Course Handbook detailing information about the content, delivery, management and assessment of your course.
In return we expect you to:
- Value the time you spend at Perth College UHI.
- Put your best efforts into your studies.
- Attend all classes regularly and arrive on time.
- Comply with Perth College UHI and course requirements, including meeting deadlines for completion of work.
