Discipline regarding non-academic matters—General College Regulations—is detailed in the Yellow Book (available in PDF below) and are enforced by the Dean, dons, residence councillors, security, patrol and the Students' Union.

The university's Code of Conduct, available in the calendar and in the Yellow Book, applies to all students and employees and, along with all College rules and policies, has been approved by the university's Board of Governors.
