Your rights and responsibilities

The main way that UTS defines your rights and responsibilities as students at UTS is through a set of formal student rules and policies. 

Rules and policies are routinely reviewed and approved by the relevant UTS committee. If you are interested in standing as a student representative on one of these committees go to student representation.

Student declaration

When you enrol at UTS, you sign the Student Declaration agreeing to certain responsibilities and acknowledging certain ways that UTS will deal with your information.
