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

42CHAIR’S ACTION

Exceptionally, it may be necessary for the Chair to make decisions on behalf of the Assessment Board if the Board has granted this permission and agreed the scope of the decision(s) to be made. Chair’s Action should only be used as an exceptional response to ensure that decisions are made by the full Assessment Board wherever possible.

Chair’s Action can be taken:

• 
  after the Board has convened if decisions are outstanding or when further information about specific cases becomes available, where the Board has given its permission, or
  

• 
  where circumstances meant it was not possible for a student’s results to be considered at the meeting.
  

The Chair will normally consult with the relevant Internal and External Examiner(s) before taking action.
