Behaviour on Transport

The College is aware that the behaviour of a minority of students is occasionally causing issues on transport to and from College.  The College is working with our transport providers to identify any individuals concerned, so that they can face the appropriate disciplinary sanction.

We would like to remind all students that the code of conduct applies to all college environments [including buses] and that any behaviours, wherever they occur, that bring the College into disrepute would be classed as gross misconduct.   

If you witness such behaviour, please make the Student Administration Team aware, so that the small minority of people can be appropriately dealt with.

USB Memory Sticks - Hints and Tips

Don't let your memory stick be the only copy of your work.

•   USB sticks do break and fail, plus you can lose them!
•   Ideally keep a copy of your work in your College Home area (H: drive), we back it up each night.
•   Use your memory stick as a means to fetch your college work to and from home.

Remember to name your memory stick, if you lose it in college we can then identify the owner

• Plug in the memory stick
• Open File Manager
• Click on the memory stick (Removable Disk) then right click and select Rename
• Type in your own name and press enter

Help the College keep the Campus safe for everyone

We would like to remind all students that they must wear their lanyards at all times whilst on the college site. In certain practical sessions there are exemptions, but you must be wearing your lanyard once you leave that session. There will be ongoing regular lanyard checks indoors and outside, so please make sure you and your friends are wearing them.

Behaviour at College

Selby College expects the highest standards of behaviour from students, both inside and outside college.  We are situated in the middle of a housing estate and therefore expect students to be courteous, considerate and to show respect to neighbouring residents. Revving car engines and using car horns within the car parks is not acceptable behaviour and will not be tolerated.
