Representative are an accurate record of the recommended marks. The
Examination Representative is responsible for ensuring that marks for each
module are reported accurately to Programme Examiners' Meetings and, in
accordance with a published schedule of dates, to the Examinations Officer, as
appropriate. Those responsible for producing papers for an Examiners' Meeting,
whether a School/Department or the Examinations Office, are required to check
the accuracy of aggregate marks and the averages.
Retention of examination scripts and coursework
Examination scripts are normally retained for a period of two years after the
examination has been sat.
Schools are responsible for making reasonable provision to enable Examiners or
the Senate Standing Committee on Examination Results to have access to
coursework which contributes to classification. Schools may wish to retain copies
of coursework. Alternatively, Schools may wish to inform students that each
student is responsible for retaining the marked copies of his/her coursework
contributing to classification and for ensuring that such coursework is available
for return to the School on request, and that failure to return coursework on
request may be detrimental to their classification or review of result.

maximum of fifteen working days from the deadline for submission/date of the
in-class test. The policy applies equally to work from full-time and part-time
students, and to full-time, part-time and sessional staff.
Characteristics of high quality feedback include being well considered, varied in
nature, consistent in standard, integrated into the wider module, constructive,
personal and user-friendly.
Some assessments may be exempt from the fifteen working day turnaround time
feedback policy. The following assessments are exempt, subject to the proviso
that work submitted in the Summer Term of the Final Part should be returned
prior to graduation:
•
Dissertations
•
Final year projects (normally 40 credits in weight)
Schools must ensure that, if sought, feedback on performance in written
examinations is available to students. The School is responsible for determining
the nature and extent of feedback which is appropriate to the circumstances,
subject to the proviso that students who are resitting a module are entitled to
