A Stage 1 Notification is, as its name suggests, more of a notification than a warning. These are distributed to student residents of houses to make them aware that a complaint has been made against them - be that for noise, rubbish, anti-social behaviour, or anything else that would warrant a complaint. This does not necessarily mean you are in trouble, however you can expect a visit from the Community Liasion Officer and the local PCSO(s) to gain a better understanding of what has caused the complaint and to offer any support that can help resolve the issue.
A Stage 2 Warning is sent if, after the visit from the Community Liaison Officer for your Stage 1 notification, we receive another complaint within the same academic year. At Stage 2 you will have to attend a mandatory meeting with the Community Liaison Officer, the CampusLife Team Manager, and the University Policing Team to discuss the matter further. You will be given an opportunity to introduce any evidence that may prove that the complaint is unfounded or has been resolved.
If you receive a Stage 3 Warning, then this means that you have had a third complaint made against you. You will be expected to attend a mandatory meeting with the Director of Student Life and the Community Liaison Officer. You will be given opportunity to introduce any evidence that may prove that the complaint is unfounded or has been resolved. If the complaint is found to be justified and that there is sufficient evidence the Director of Student Life may refer the complaint to Education Services, where the complaint will be investigated in line with the Swansea University's Disciplinary Procedures.
