Terminology
In line with all University literature, “he” should also be read as “she”.

Preamble
The college is a community of about 1000 members, the majority of whom are students. The College Rules are based on the fundamental principle of respect for fellow college members. It is the purpose of these rules, and the disciplinary procedures that enforce them, to ensure that, as far as possible, the college works as a harmonious and scholarly community.
Every junior member of the college is subject to the Rules of the University and of Furness College, in addition resident college members have obligations to the university as a landlord, and these are set-out in the residence contract. The university rules, residence contract, and college rules and procedures are all available on the university’s website and members are advised to read them.
There are also a number of rules specific to the College and these are printed below. In the event of a conflict between the various rules, University Rules take precedence. Furthermore every member of the college is, of course, subject to the law of the land.
All of the above-mentioned rules are enforceable by the College Dean. Certain cases, for example group offences involving members of more than one college or cases where the penalty of expulsion from the university is warranted, may be dealt with by the University Dean or Deputy Dean.

The Deanery
The primary role of the Deanery is to promote within the college good communal behaviour, adjudged against the rules of the University and of the College, so that college members are free to undertaken their learning, teaching, and research. It is the responsibility of the Deanery to investigate alleged breaches of the Rules of the University and of the College.
The Dean adjudicates on cases and sets disciplinary policy in the college. Investigations are handled by the Praefectus or the Assistant Deans.
The Dean is empowered with the ability to punish college members found breaching these rules; to refer the offender to the College Tribunal; or in very serious instances can pass cases on to the University Dean for more severe punishment (such as exclusion from the University).

College Rules
1. Barbeques
It shall be an offence to light a barbeque within the college boundaries.

2. Guests
Guests of college members are the responsibility of their hosts, who are liable for any breach of the rules made by their guests (whether they themselves are present are not). Guests staying for longer than a period of one night should be signed in with the porter. Failure to do so shall be considered a breach of the college’s rules.

3. Parties
The holding of parties or noisy functions in residences is not permitted, without the prior approval of the College Dean or Assistant Deans. A party shall constitute any gathering of more than seven people in a study bedroom. Gatherings in kitchens that are likely to involve the playing of music, talking loudly, and partaking in the consumption of large amounts of alcohol should not be held without the prior approval of the Dean.

4. Firearms
It is an offence to bring, or to be in possession of firearms (including replica weapons), on college premises.

5. Cleanliness in kitchens
Members are required to undertake such cleaning as is expected of them in their residence contracts.

6. The storage of push-bikes is prohibited in the college’s residences.

Recording Student Discipline
The Dean and the Praefectus shall make regular reports to the College Council on the state of discipline in the College. The Dean shall produce an annual report on student discipline for the examination of the College’s Syndicate and Council. A copy of the report shall be sent to the University Dean.
