Academic Regulations 2015/16

The validity of regulations, policies and procedures

These regulations, policies and procedures apply to all taught programmes and to all students registered for modules on those programmes for the academic year 2015/16, and until further notice.

Any change to a University regulation must be approved by Academic Board. Occasionally a programme may require a variation from a University regulation, perhaps to meet the requirements of a professional body. In such a case, the required variation must be specifically approved in accordance with the validation procedures agreed by Academic Board, and will be recorded in the Programme Validation Document (Programme Specification) and the Programme Handbook.

Any changes to or variations of regulations normally occur at the start of an academic year. Exceptionally, however, it may be necessary to introduce a change during the year. If this happens students affected by the proposed change will be consulted, and Academic Board will satisfy itself that students will not be disadvantaged by the change.

In the event of a change of regulations during the academic year, this document will not be re-issued, but the University web site will be updated, and the date of the change will be noted.
