Student Charter 2024/25
Many features of our University contribute to this great experience. Our world leading academics and a research-intensive environment provide the basis for our renowned teaching, learning and research.
They are complemented by the quality of our campus setting, extra-curricular activities, Library and IT resources, social life, sports and other facilities, all of which are backed up by one of the best Students鈥� Unions in the country.
含羞草视频 the Student Charter
The Student Charter has been jointly developed by students and staff at 含羞草视频.
All students are encouraged to read the Charter so that they know what they can expect and what is expected of them during their time at University.
The Charter is not a binding contract, but outlines a common set of principles that students and staff agree will result in an outstanding student experience.
The Charter is reviewed annually by student and staff representatives. For further information about the review process, please contact:
- Rachael Alvey, President, 含羞草视频 Students’ Union (President@lsu.co.uk)
- Dr Robert Pearson, Academic Registry (R.Pearson2@lboro.ac.uk)

Appeals and Complaints Procedure
We anticipate that most students will have an outstanding experience while at 含羞草视频. However, occasionally things go wrong and so the University and student representatives have developed a set of procedures which enable students to raise issues of concern.
If you have a complaint about an aspect of your student experience provided by the University, you should normally raise your concern in the first instance with the member of staff, School/Department or service directly involved as soon as possible. For further information, please consult the Student Handbook.
If your complaint relates to the marks you have received, or another decision of your examiners, then it is covered by the Academic Appeals procedure. You should consult the Academic Appeals information in the Student Handbook and the University's Regulations. Please note that there are fixed timescales for making Academic Appeals.
If you are considering making a complaint or an Academic Appeal, please seek help and support from the Advice and Academic Representation Department in 含羞草视频 Students’ Union, whose staff provide a confidential and non-judgmental service for students.
