Regulations Governing Registration – University of Nottingham Ningbo China
1. Registration and Registered Status
1.1 Only a Registered Student may follow a programme of study leading to a University award, have access to relevant services and facilities (including attendance at classes, and assessment), and be entitled to the rights and privileges of University membership as a student. A student who is not registered is not entitled to any of the above except where otherwise stated in regulations.
1.2 On admission a student must complete a formal registration process. They will then be a Registered Student.
1.3 Thereafter, until the end of their programme of study, and normally at the start of each semester (or each academic year for postgraduate research students), a student is required to complete the formal registration process again, unless for other reasons set out in regulations such as where registration is not allowed or is not appropriate. (For instance, a student owing fees will not be allowed to register, or a student who has interrupted their studies need not register.) Completing the registration process will renew the status as a Registered Student for that semester (or that academic year for postgraduate research students).
1.4 In order to complete the formal registration process students must:
(a) Make full payment of tuition fees and miscellaneous fees;
(b) Provide, check for accuracy and completeness the information held by the University regarding their relevant personal details and about their programme of study, and amend such information as necessary, using an approved method as mentioned in Contact details;
(c) Confirm that they will obey the Ordinances and Regulations of the University which are in force during their period of study, including those governing the payment of fees and other sums due to the University, those governing progress in studies, attendance and conduct, and those covering the use of University Computer Facilities;
(d) Complete online registration;
(e) Be present at a University registration event, unless specifically exempted from such attendance.
1.5 The University will publish annually the final deadline date for completion of the registration for each semester (postgraduate research students do the registration annually in Autumn Session). If a student fails to complete the formal registration process as detailed below (in UNNC Registration Procedures) by that deadline, they will not be a Registered Student for that semester (or that academic year for postgraduate research students) and they will be withdrawn from study. Such a student will only be allowed to register for that semester (or that academic year for postgraduate research students) in exceptional circumstances.
1.6 During an academic year a Registered Student may stop being a Registered Student either temporarily or permanently, in circumstances specified by Regulations. Re-registration does not imply satisfactory completion of a previous stage of study. For the guidance on the meaning of Non-Registered Statuses please consult detailed below in UNNC Registration Procedures.
1.7 Students on modular taught programmes are also required to undertake a formal module enrolment process. The University will announce annually the final deadline date for completion of module enrolment for each semester.
1.8 No student who is following a full-time programme in the University will be permitted to undertake full-time employment for any period during which they are required to be studying at the University.
1.9 Permission to register on a second programme to be taken concurrently must be sought in advance from the School/Department with which the student is initially registered, except where the student is on a joint programme run by more than one institution. Students will not be permitted to register on two full-time programmes at the same time.
1.10 Under the below circumstances, a student’s registration will be discontinued:
(a) A student’s registration will be discontinued if, for any reason, the student is deemed to be withdrawn as detailed in the University’s Regulations Governing Attendance and Engagement.
(b) A student’s registration will be discontinued if, for any reason, the student is deemed to be Withdrawn on the Grounds of Health and Safety.
(c) A student’s registration will be discontinued if the student does not provide the University with required information as detailed below (in the Contact details section).
(d) A student’s registration will be discontinued if they are in breach of the law in a manner that makes them ineligible to satisfy the University’s attendance requirements.
(e) A student’s registration will be discontinued if the student owes any fees required by the University, as detailed in the UNNC Tuition Fee Payment Policy.
1.11 A student’s registration will be discontinued if they breach any of the registration requirements stated above.
1.12 The above provisions are also subject to local authority regulations.
2. Contact details
2.1 It is essential that the University has accurate and up to date information about each student's address, in order to contact them in a timely manner about matters relevant to their programme of study and their membership of the University.
2.2 It is a condition of continuing as a Registered Student during an academic year that a student keeps the University informed both of their current local address (where they may be contacted during times when they are expected to be attending the University) and of their permanent home address (where they may be contacted at any time and particularly at times when they are not expected to be attending the University) using an approved method. For the purpose of these Regulations the approved method is to provide the information to the University through the Portal.
2.3 For email correspondence the University uses the "username@nottingham.edu.cn" email address to contact students. If a student does not activate or use this account, the University will not be responsible for their not receiving important information such as details about classes, assessments, fees, registration and graduation.
2.4 Students should ensure that they read all announcements published on the Student Portal and email communications sent to them by the University, and may not use non-receipt of information as a reason for non-compliance with University requirements where they have failed to keep their contact information up to date or where they have failed to read such information.
2.5 Registered students are required to provide up-to-date information on a person (such as their next of kin) who may be contacted in an emergency. The University has a protocol governing when and how this information may be used.
Effective from 31 January 2024
