ecommendation to the Faculty Academic Board. The Faculty Academic Board will indicate
acceptance or otherwise of the recommendation.
(vii) If a recommendation of type (a) is accepted, the Faculty Academic Board will ask the Course
Coordinator to make the examiners’ requirements available to the candidate while maintaining the
anonymity of the examiners. The Course Coordinator will sign an official record indicating satisfaction
of all thesis requirements that all required changes have been completed satisfactorily.
(viii) If a recommendation of type (b) is accepted, the Faculty Academic Board will ask the Course
Coordinator to ensure that the candidate is requested to resubmit the thesis with any necessary
corrections or modifications. The revised thesis is forwarded to the examiners for assessment.
(ix) If a recommendation of type (c) is accepted, the normal implication is that the candidate will be
excluded from the course. However, in exceptional circumstances the Higher Degrees Advisory
Committee may grant the candidate an opportunity to submit a substantially new thesis after a period
of not less than six months.
(x) In the event of disagreement between the examiners, the Chairperson, Higher Degrees Advisory
Committee, will refer the matter to the Examination Sub-Committee of the Higher Degrees Advisory
Committee which makes recommendations on areas of disputation between examiners. This person
would be appointed after consultation between supervisors and the Course Coordinator. The Higher
Degrees Advisory Committee will then make recommendation to the Faculty Academic Board. The
Faculty Board may then (i) not recommend awarding the degree, or (ii) accept a majority
recommendation with or without the advice of a further external examiner.
(xi) If a candidate is required to revise and resubmit a thesis, the examiners’ reports will be made available
to the candidate, the anonymity of the examiners being maintained.
(xii) After the examination process is complete, examiners’ reports will be made available to the candidate
on request. The names of examiners will be released on request providing each examiner has indicated
willingness to have his or her identity revealed to the candidate.
