University Procedure for Withdrawal and
Exclusion from Studies
Work package in partnership with EUSA to ensure that the
University complies with and potentially exceeds the precepts of
the UK Quality Code. Academic year 2012/13.
Receipt of reports on formal student complaints and student
academic appeals
The first annual reports have been considered under the
enhanced framework for the quality assurance of student
support services. It is evident that in addition to assuring quality
of provision the framework will promote identification of trends
and common themes across student support services to the
benefit of the student experience.
The Committee noted on-going action plans and reports from
the Colleges with a view to the development of feedback. In
addition the Committee had an overview of the outcomes from
key institutional and sector surveys/questionnaires which
requires further work in the future to align the outcomes and
maximise the benefits.
Arising from themes identified in Teaching Programme Reviews,
an interest group has met to discussion issues around ‘transition
to professional practice’ across a range of University disciplines.
The Student Withdrawal and Exclusion Task Group produced a
new University policy on student withdrawal and exclusion. This
new policy and procedure should simplify the current process
and save administrative resource.
