Non-Academic Misconduct: Disciplinary Outcomes
King’s takes student misconduct seriously and is committed to tackling unacceptable student conduct in a fair, proportionate and transparent way. We want all members of our community and visitors to feel confident reporting any instances of misconduct and to trust effective action will be taken.
The information below sets out the outcomes of cases of non-academic misconduct considered under King's Non-Academic Misconduct Policy and Procedure. Every case is considered on its individual merits, with relevant aggravating and mitigating factors taken into account before a sanction is determined; as a result, sanctions for similar allegations may vary.
