Verification of Results Policy
A Verification is the re-checking of the accuracy of the calculation and recording of marks, not a re-grade. Verification of Results form
DBS Appeals Policy
The Appeals Policy is to afford learners the opportunity to appeal the decision of an academic decision-making committee (e.g. Academic Impropriety Committee, Examinations Board grade finalisation). This does not apply to appeals against a Complaint Committee.
Disagreement with an assessment decision is not considered grounds for appeal. An appeal is not a re-grade. Appeal Form
Quality Assurance Handbook
The Quality Assurance Handbook outlines the Repeat Assessment Policy in Section 8.4. The QAH is available under the Policies and Procedures page on the website HERE.
Assessment Opportunities
If you are repeating your assessments, be aware that there is a limited number of opportunities to complete a module successfully. This is typically limited to four opportunities, although some modules (e.g. Dissertation) offer fewer opportunities. Students who Exhaust their Opportunities will be Withdrawn from their programme.
- Opportunities are considered to be when an Assessment is scheduled - if you do not sit an exam, or submit an assignment, it is still considered to be an attempt unless a deferral is approved (refer to the FAQs HERE for more information on Extensions and Deferrals). Non-engagement on repeat opportunities may result in being Withdrawn for Exhausted Opportunities.
Assessment Regulations - Capped Awards
Standard module regulations mean that a module that is passed on a repeat attempt (rather than a deferred attempt that is still a first sitting) is capped at 40%. If a module at Award Stage is passed on a repeat attempt, the overall programme award may be capped at a PASS award (please refer to your Programme Coordinator to confirm which modules are Award Stage, and if this regulation applies, on your programme).
