1 Key points of Reference and Assessment Regulations External Examiner Induction

2 The First Hurdle: The Qualifying Mark  minimum level of achievement  for each element of assessment in a module, as detailed on the MDF  default value: 30%  qualifying mark must be obtained in all elements of assessment in order for module to be passed (eg: Coursework mark of 60% and Examination mark of 26% = Overall module mark of 43% = FAIL)  may be set at a higher level, usually for professional reasons, agreed at approval stage  DAPs cannot waive this requirement

3 The Second Hurdle: The Aggregate Pass Mark p  the pass mark for the module at all levels is an aggregate of 40%  students are entitled to one re- assessment attempt at a module if the first attempt is failed  where a module is failed at the first attempt, students will be re-assessed in those elements of assessment where the mark is <40%

4 The Second Hurdle: The Aggregate Pass Mark  where a module is failed at the first attempt, elements of assessment where the mark is 40%+ are not re-assessed  the module mark after re- assessment is capped at 40%  highest element marks achieved used to calculate module mark after re-assessment  the Qualifying Mark must be achieved to pass at re- assessment

5 Why Cap Modules? 1 st Attempt Student 1CW50% EX34% Total42% Student 2CW34% EX32% Total33% 2 nd Attempt No re-assessment For this student CW50% EX34% Total42% (capped at 40%) but if 50% CW mark is cappedCW40% EX34% Total37% - FAIL

6 Compensation  based on the principle of preventing students with marginal failure, but who have performed strongly elsewhere, having to undertake further re-assessment  only applies at undergraduate level for awards which attract 120+ credits  not permitted for Major Project modules

7 Progression  new for new entrants on undergraduate courses in 2012/13  full-time students required to pass a minimum of 90 out of 120 credits in order to progress to next level  appropriate requirements for part- time students (depending on volume of credit being studied)  first implementation in July 2013

8 Continuation Regulations Students can re-take and/or replace modules which are failed after re-assessment (max. 30 credits at any one level and 60 credits overall) Thereafter, the student’s registration on the course is discontinued and the Awards Board makes one of four decisions

9 Continuation Regulations  transfer the student to an alternative course where the failed modules are not required and some or all of the modules already attained can contribute to the new course  transfer the student to the Faculty Framework Award: ALSS (UG only), LAIBS (UG and PG), Department of Education (UG only) and FST (x 2 – UG only)  confer the highest available intermediate award (eg: Dip. HE)  the student’s registration is ended
