STUDENT CHARTERUniversity of BallaratMessage from the Vice Chancellor:One of our objectives at the University of Ballarat (UB) is for students to be active and enthusiasticparticipants in university and community life. We want to engage our students in their learning,capturing their capacity to learn and to contribute to society.We believe the learning and teaching experience at UB should be about supporting students to realisetheir potential and preparing them to determine their future.However, coming to UB can, at first, be a daunting and confusing experience. Even though you areexcited at the prospect of tertiary study, you may be unaware of your rights and responsibilities.At UB we recognise that it is important that you understand your rights and responsibilities and so wehave prepared the following Student Charter for your information and reference.The Charter outlines our expectations of you as a student at UB and what you, in turn, can expect fromthe University.It provides you with information about the areas of the University’s work and the services that directlyaffect you as a student.I invite you to read the Student Charter in the hope that you will find it useful to you as a student at UB. Ialso recommend that you read the University’s web pages as these contain comprehensive andimportant information about all aspects of University life.Professor David-BattersbyVice-ChancellorUniversity of Ballarat25 of 28
