Changes to the University's Regulatory Framework for Taught Courses (25 June 2009)

A number of changes to the University’s regulatory framework have been agreed from 2009/10.  These affect:

• credit level names

• the use of condonement of failure

• classification of awards

These changes will have implications for information provided to students and regulations for awards.  For more information follow the links above.

Credit levels are being renamed from 2009/10 in light of the revised national Framework for Higher Education Qualifications published by the Quality Assurance Agency in 2008.  There is no change to the level descriptors; only the titles are changed.  The new levels and their correspondence to old levels are set out below:

Within University Access to Higher Education courses offered by Regional Colleges, levels 1 and 2 are also used for specific modules.

The deadline for receipt of External Examiner nominations for 2010/11 appointments is 28 May 2010.
