Academic Regulations for first degrees and ... - Heythrop College

7. Evidence will only be known to the sub-committee of the Board. However, the
student has the right to submit evidence confidentially, in a sealed envelope, to
be read only by the Chair of the Board.
8. A student who is permitted to suspend his/her studies will normally be
required to resume his/her studies in the following academic year at the
beginning of the term in which the suspension took place. Normally, the period
of suspension should not exceed two years, and the total duration of the
student’s programme of study does not exceed the maximum period set for
the currency of credit for the award. (See Regulations 8.3, 9.5, 26 and 55.3.)
9. In considering whether a student will be permitted to repeat a period of study,
the sub-committee may take into account the student’s record of attendance and
submission of assessed tasks in the current year of study.
10. When a student who is permitted to repeat a period of study has completed
some assessed tasks during the current year of study, the subcommittee will
consider whether these tasks may be repeated in a subsequent period of study,
or whether the marks achieved may be carried forward into the repeated period
of study.
11. The College expects all students to attend scheduled classes, tutorials, and
meetings with Personal Tutors where appropriate, and to submit work for
assessment as required. The College reserves the right to withdraw the
registration of students who are repeating a year of study but, without good
reason, fail to attend 80% of their scheduled classes or to submit work for
assessment. Any such cases will be drawn to the attention of the relevant Dean,
who will notify the student, the Programme Convenor and/or Personal Tutor, and
refer the case for consideration by the Academic Management Team, if
appropriate.
