The Committee will arrange a hearing within 14 days of receipt of the appeal. If it is
received in the last 14 days of Full Term or during a vacation, the hearing shall be held
within the first 14 days of the next term. For these purposes the Long Vacation research
period shall be counted as a term. The student and any person against whom the
complaint lies shall have the right to be heard. It shall be within the power of the
Committee to decide whether that hearing shall be oral or in writing. In an oral hearing,
each person may be accompanied by one friend.
The student may appeal from the decision of the College Moderator to the Student
Complaint Committee. A Tutor may help the student with this procedure. The Master
will be responsible for convening the Committee but shall then play no further part in
its deliberations. The student or Tutor should apply in writing to the Master within 14
days of receiving notice of the Moderator’s decision.

reasonable attempts to implement the recommendations as quickly as possible.
The student shall have a right of appeal from the Committee to the Office of the
Independent Adjudicator (formerly the Visitor) in accordance with Statute 2 of the
College Statutes.
The Master shall make an annual report to the July meeting of the College Council (in
unreserved business) about any complaints under (iv) that have been made during the
year. When a student’s complaint or appeal is upheld, the College Council shall
reimburse the student for any reasonable and proportionate incidental expenses
incurred in making the complaint or appeal.
11.6 DRUGS
It is dangerous to take drugs except under medical direction. Under legislation dealing with dangerous
drugs, the unauthorized possession of certain drugs is a criminal offence. In the interests alike of the
College and of its individual members, the College will not tolerate the possession or use of any such
drug within the College. Any junior member who is in unauthorized possession, or makes unauthorized
use of any such drugs, or who supplies any person with such a drug, or knowingly assists him or her to
obtain unauthorized possession of it, renders himself or herself liable to be sent down by the College.
