As well as professional behaviour of staff, the Department expects appropriate commitment in teaching sessions from students. Mobile phones should be switched off.

The Together York Community Declaration sets out our principles and expectations. Together, we are a community built on respect, fairness and compassion for all. The COVID-19 Community Charter supplements the responsibilities and expectations set out in the Together York declaration, for both staff and students, and across University and college policies. The charter outlines how we can work together to keep each other safe, what our community can expect from the University, and what the University expects from its staff and students. By taking responsibility to follow the guidelines as individuals, we are collectively helping to create a safe community for us all.
