The following regulations apply to students commencing study within the 2013 academic year (January 2013-December 2013). For previously published regulations, refer to the Calendar archive (Academic Quality Assurance Unit website).
G. Course Work
1.
Major tests shall be supervised
by a member of the academic staff nominated by the Head of
Department/School concerned.
2.
A student may, within 7 days
after the result of a major test or other major work is made known,
apply to the Head of Department/School to have it reconsidered. The
reconsideration will normally consist of a re-marking and
re-counting of the work submitted.
3.
Except in the case of
multi-choice papers where the Head of Department/School has been
authorised by the Academic Board not to release marked scripts,
test scripts and other items of work must be returned to students,
normally within 4 weeks of the date of the test or within 4 weeks
of the date on which they were submitted; they will be accompanied
by sufficient oral or written information to allow students to form
an accurate appraisal of their performance. The requirement to
return test scripts will not apply to any test which constitutes
the final examination in a course.
4.
Notwithstanding anything in
Regulation 3, a student may apply to the Associate Registrar (International/Student Services) within three months of
the release of results in the course for a copy of his or her
script for a final test except in the case of multi-choice scripts
where the Head of Department/School has been authorised by the
Academic Board to not release scripts. The application must be in
writing and must be accompanied by the prescribed fee. Thereafter
and until the scripts are destroyed, a student may apply directly
to the Department/School to have their original script returned.
Original scripts are returned free of charge. The scripts must be
preserved for six months from the date of publication of
results.
Notes:
1.
Once an
original is uplifted, no appeal in relation to that script will be
accepted.
2.
Students'
attention is drawn to Section H Aegrotat
Consideration.
3.
Candidates
are entitled to view their marked scripts without charge, and they
are entitled to obtain on request from the Head of
Department/School, without charge, the grade for all items of
assessment including those for examinations and final
tests.
