University Assessment policies and procedures
The University's formal procedures relating to the conduct of assessment for taught programmes are embodied in the Ordinances and Regulations, principally Ordinance 14, and Regulation 5. The University Assessment policies and procedures have been established through decisions taken in committee and through case law. They should be read in conjunction with the Ordinances and Regulations. Also included are summaries of the more important administrative procedures, although detailed information on specific procedures is circulated from time to time by Student Services.
Unless stated otherwise, these procedures should be taken to apply to all assessments leading to awards of the University.
Each edition of the University Assessment policies and procedures incorporates amendments to policies approved by the Standing Committee on Assessment, University Teaching Committee and Senate during the previous academic year. The documents are available to academic and administrative staff, students and external examiners.
