Change effective from:
2016/17
Summary of change
Following review of the University position regarding the attendance of a member of the legal profession at meetings held with students, a consistent and fair approach which meets external legislation requirements has been approved by Academic Board. At appeal stages only of our student policies and regulations, students can request that they be accompanied by a member of the legal profession. They cannot, however, be wholly represented by a member of the legal profession. Relevant policies and regulations have been updated accordingly.
What’s different?
- Academic Appeals Policy and Procedure for Taught Students – addition of paragraph 27 (and re-numbering of subsequent paragraphs)
- Academic Appeals Policy and Procedure for Research Students – addition of paragraph 27 (and re-numbering of subsequent paragraphs)
- Regulations and Procedures for Fitness to Practise Appeals – addition of paragraph 22 (and re-numbering of subsequent paragraphs)
- Regulations and Procedures for Fitness to Study Appeals – addition of paragraph 22 (and re-numbering of subsequent paragraphs)

- Academic Misconduct Procedures – clarification of above included in paragraph 5.2 (Please also note the inclusion of Annex 7 to provide clarity on the impact of sanctions.)
