Examinations and assessment guidelines
Examination board guidelines and assessment procedures (UG and PG) spring-autumn 2023
Examination board guidelines and assessment procedures have been reviewed and updated for the operation of examination boards and publishing of assessment results, during spring and autumn 2023. Previous versions of these guidelines should be disregarded.
Regulation A10: Authorities in Exceptional Circumstances
The Senate has approved Regulation A10: Authorities in Exceptional Circumstances and delegated to the Senate Committee for Interim Business and Effectiveness (SCIBE) responsibility to bring into effect the arrangements and conditions set out in the Regulation, and to determine the duration for which they should be applied. Regulation A10 provides a regulatory framework for the University to manage exceptional circumstances, and the SCIBE has approved the application of Regulation A10 in 2022/23, under its delegated authority from the Senate, to manage the impact of transitioning out of the COVID-19 pandemic and of industrial action.
