During the first stage, your department is responsible for responding to the allegation. If it is not resolved there, or involves a major piece of term work, your division (the Faculty in which you are registered) has responsibility for the matter. Within this stage, there are several steps to be followed. The number of steps will depend on the nature of the offence and the practices of your Faculty. The procedures under the Code do allow for some variations between faculties. The third stage, if necessary, involves a hearing by the University Tribunal.
