Brief description of the paper
A report on matters considered by ARSC at its meeting on 16 March 2017.
Action Requested
Following review by ARSC, ASC is asked to approve the following proposals:
- The current position in generic PGT regulations, where C3 is regarded as the ‘threshold grade’ on taught courses, should be maintained.
- The requirement for progress to the dissertation stage on a PGT programme should therefore remain as a GPA of 12.0.
- Non-generic PGT regulations that use a threshold grade of D should exceptionally be permitted, with the approval of ASC (e.g. where required by accrediting bodies).
ASC is asked to note ARSC’s consideration of:
- Penalties for late submission of coursework: electronic submissions.
- External Examiner comments on assessment 2015-16.
