City, University of London Senate Regulation 19 Assessment Regulations 2018/19

General Principles

1. 
   The Assessment Regulations apply to all taught undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate programmes that lead to an award of City, University of London. The appendices to the Assessment Regulations, including the Programme Regulations, form an integral part of the Regulations. The Regulations should be read in conjunction with City’s Credit Framework, the Assessment and Feedback Policy and City’s other relevant regulations, policies and procedures. There are separate Regulations for Masters Degrees by Research and Doctoral Programmes.
   

2. 
   The Assessment Regulations cover all aspects of the conduct of assessment, how students progress and how Awards are made. Separate Regulations are in place to govern the Conduct of Examinations.
   

3. 
   All members of City’s community are responsible for upholding the Assessment Regulations. Consistent use of these Regulations ensures:
   

• 
  that all students are treated fairly,
  
• 
  independence in the assessment process, and
  
• 
  that the assessment of students is appropriate to maintain the academic standards of the City’s Awards.
  

4. 
   City’s Education and Student Committee will periodically review these Regulations on behalf of Senate to ensure that they remain effective, and will recommend changes to Senate. Changes will be approved by Senate and written details will be communicated clearly to students and staff. Changes will normally come into force at the start of an academic year but exceptionally, where required by law or regulation, a change may be approved for implementation during an academic year. In such cases, a consultation (where applicable) and communication process will take place.
   

5. 
   The process of registration and/or re-registration will confirm a student’s acceptance of these Assessment Regulations and any amendments made for the academic year.
