(b) a student has been admitted who has accepted a Foundation Degree, or an intermediate award (typically CertHE, DipHE, PGCert, PGDip) from the College or from another institution, and is admitted to a degree programme as an Advanced Student in accordance with regulations 9.1(a) and 9.5 above. 9.7. When the College agrees to accept a student’s assessed study elsewhere as part of the requirement for an award conferred by the College, the student must be advised promptly in writing of the basis on which the award for which he or she is a candidate will be considered for classification, merit or distinction. Normally, account will be taken only of the marks awarded for work assessed by the College. Within guidelines which may from time to time be published by the College or the University, the Board of Examiners may exercise discretion in borderline cases to take account of marks awarded by the previous institution. 10. Conferral and revocation of degrees and other awards 10.1. Authority to confer and revoke any degree, diploma, certificate or other award granted by the College in accordance with the Ordinances of the University of London or the Statutes of Heythrop College rests with the Academic Board of the College. The conferral of awards is normally exercised by a Board of Examiners with membership and remit approved by the Academic Board, including at least one external or intercollegiate examiner. 10.2. The Academic Board may revoke any degree, diploma, certificate or other award granted by the College in accordance with the Ordinances of the University of London or the Statutes of Heythrop College, if it shall be discovered at any time and proved to the satisfaction of the Academic Board that (a) there was an administrative error in the award made under the procedures required by the University of London Ordinances or the Heythrop College Statutes; or (b) subsequent to the award, a Board of Examiners, having taken into account information which was unavailable at the time its decision was made, determines that a candidate’s classification be altered. (See also regulation 24). 10
Section 2: General Regulations on Assessment 11. Entry to assessment 11.1. Annual registration for a programme of study includes registration for the relevant assessment (General Academic Regulation 6.2 above). 11.2. Candidates will normally be assessed or reassessed in accordance with the regulations current at the time of their assessment or reassessment, save in exceptional circumstances, according to the discretion of the College. 11.3. In order to be eligible to take an examination of the University or the end-of-year assessment of any module, a student must satisfy the academic requirements set for that programme or module, and also satisfy any other conditions prescribed by the College, in the Regulations or otherwise, including financial obligations, the meeting of academic obligations (see Appendix I) and confirmation when requested of the details of examinations or other assessment which he/she expects to take. The College has the right to refuse entry to an examination or end of year assessment to a student who has not satisfied these requirements (see also regulation 6.5). 11.4. A student who is eligible for assessment, and who is absent from an examination or fails to submit work by the due date or by an agreed extended date, and who has not been permitted to defer assessment on grounds of illness or other good cause, will be regarded as having attempted the assessment and will be awarded a mark of zero for that assessment task. Such a student will be eligible for reassessment if the relevant programme regulations permit this. (See also regulation 15 and Appendix F, on mitigating circumstances: a student who is ill on the day of an examination may, if evidence is accepted in mitigation, be permitted to be reassessed as though for the first time.) 11.5. A student who is eligible for assessment may request deferral, on grounds of illness or other good cause affecting his or her ability to undertake the assessment at the required time. A student who has been present at any examination or submitted work for assessment by the required date may present evidence of illness or other good cause which adversely affected attainment, for consideration by the Board of Examiners. Regulations 13 and 15 below detail provisions in respect of deferral and mitigating circumstances affecting assessment. 12. The timing of assessment 12.1. First degree MA and Graduate Diploma in Theology students are required to complete the assessment of every module in the year in which they study the module. 12.2. Module coursework submission dates are specified in information issued to students. 12.3. End-of-year essay submission dates are specified in Regulations 31.3 and 58.1(b) below, and published in student handbooks. 11
