This page provides guidance to help students navigate through their time at Sidney. This includes an outline of what is expected of students and, in turn, what students can expect from the College.
- White Book
Sidney's formal rules are an expression of our community's shared commitment to mutual consideration and respect.
Rules of all levels (Statutes, Ordinances and Regulations), which govern the relationship between the College and its students, have been consolidated into one document for ease of consultation: The White Book: A Compilation of Student Statutes, Ordinances and Regulations. This can be accessed on our Publications and Governance page.
By matriculating, each Sidney fresher undertakes to respect the rules contained in the White Book, as well as those governing the University. Your Tutor, any other member of the Pastoral Team, or your SSCSU student representatives, can be consulted for explanation and advice.
