10.10 Records of Academic Misconduct Cheating, in an attempt to pass in a subject you find difficult or to try and gain an unfair advantage over other students, is unethical. The University expects the highest standards of ethical and professional self-conduct by its students. Employers and other HE institutions request information about student records, and any proven assessment offence will be recorded on a student’s transcript, and may be referred to in references provided by the University. Serious penalties are imposed on those who cheat. This includes failure, suspension, exclusion and withdrawal of academic credits awarded previously for modules which have been passed. 10.11 Assessment Boards and release of Results All assessment marks, suggested referral opportunities, recommendations for conferment of an award or exclusion from a course must be formally ratified by the relevant Assessment Board. Any marks or grades released prior to the meeting of the Assessment Board have the status of provisional marks. The University operates a two-tier system of Assessment Boards for undergraduate modular courses: Subject Boards (for modules) and Conferment Boards (for awards). Details of these Boards are set out in Section 10 of the University Academic Regulations. Each Campus Office will publish its own calendar for submission of assessment marks and Assessment Boards. Provisional marks will be released through the online interface with the Student Records System (SRSWeb) throughout each semester. Confirmed results will be issued through the release of student module profiles and transcripts as results become available after each Conferment Board, rather than on a single University-wide date. One of the benefits of the new academic calendar, which is being introduced in 2005/06, is that the summer Conferment Boards will be able to consider the full year’s record of module results before determining what, if any, referral opportunities should be offered. 10.12 External Examiners As part of its overall procedures for ensuring the quality of its courses, the University appoints External Examiners to its courses (or sometimes to groups of related courses or subject area). The role of Subject Board External Examiners is to judge whether students have been fairly assessed in relation to the objectives and syllabuses of modules and have reached the required standard. Such judgements are made in the context of knowledge of standards applied on comparable courses elsewhere and of levels of student attainment in previous years. External Examiners also attest that assessment regulations have been fairly applied ensuring parity of judgement for all students taking a module, and they comment on assessment procedures. The role of Conferment Board External Examiners is to ensure the fair and equitable application of the University's regulations on credit accumulation, and the course specific regulations for each award, in decisions on the award of qualifications to students. This includes decisions on the awards of merit or distinction (where relevant) and decisions on exclusions. The External Examiners take part in all work of Conferment Boards including the award of intermediate awards. Results cannot be released unless they have been formally ratified and signed by the External Examiner(s). Conferment Board External Examiners are also asked to provide comments to the University on assessment procedures. DPI_Hbook 36 ©University of Westminster
