King's Academic Manual
The King’s Academic Manual includes academic regulations, policies and procedures applicable to all King’s College London taught and research students enrolled on a programme of study, including programmes and modules delivered by King’s Online and King’s Foundations. The regulations ensure the academic integrity of the University and form the framework for the student academic experience, including learning, teaching and assessment.
Academic regulations and policies are part of the formal contract between the university and its students. Students are encouraged to familiarise themselves with relevant sections when they enrol and consult the regulations and policies at appropriate intervals during their studies.
The academic regulations in force when students register will normally apply to them until completion of their programme.
