44consideration of assessment results for shared Programmes and Modules
Where Programmes involve more than one School, and/or where Modules, teaching or services are shared, the following apply:
The Programme will be assigned to a School which will own, and be the ‘home’ School for, that Programme.
The Module will be assigned to a School which will own, and be the ‘home’ School for, that Module.
Where Modules are shared:
Preliminary results and student performance data will be considered by the home School for the Module, in advance of the relevant Assessment Boards. This is to support the decision-making process and identify any relevant matters relating to the specific cohort or Module. Where appropriate, a briefing note will be prepared for the Assessment Board.
Representatives from all Programmes involved in those Modules will be involved in these discussions and a Module Panel may be held (see Section 6.9.1).
The results for the Module will be confirmed by the relevant Assessment Board for the Module in its home School
The Assessment Board for a Programme in its home School is responsible for:
managing the panels which report to the Assessment Board (unless the Panel relates to Academic Misconduct for a Module owned by another School). Extenuating Circumstances Panels will normally be managed by the home School for the Programme, but may be managed by the home School for a Module if is requested by the Dean of the home School for the Programme.
considering and agreeing the results for Modules owned by the School
making decisions on progression and Award.
If the ‘home’ Assessment Board for a Module has not yet met, results for students from another School who have taken that Module will remain provisional until confirmed by this Board.
Where a student has taken a Module owned by a different School to the ‘home’ School for their Programme, the ‘home’ Assessment Board for the student’s Programme cannot adjust the Module marks agreed by the other School.
