Students, who wish to appeal this decision, may apply in writing to the Academic Committee. All records obtained will be kept as private and confidential. Where a student has a history of criminal conviction(s) or incurs a conviction while enrolled (see below), this record will be made available to practice placement agencies, with student consultation, to ensure informed agency agreement to student placement.
