Progress of Students
Progress of Students is a University-initiated procedure and falls within the University's General Regulations.
|
Purpose |
An academic department may request a review of a student's academic progress, on specified grounds. The relevant form is available under the downloads section below. Separate procedures exist for reviewing concerns about a student's fitness to practise. |
|
|
Grounds for Review |
(a) failure to attend regularly, or as specified in the relevant Regulations, the programme of study for which the student has registered; (b) failure to perform adequately the work of the programme; (c) failure to present at the times appointed such written work as may have been required; (d) failure to pass an examination; (e) failure to pursue the programme of research or to co-operate appropriately with the appointed supervisor; (f) failure to demonstrate a satisfactory level of professional competence in dealings with others which form part of the student's programme of study or research. |
|
|
Process |
The review is primarily to determine whether or not a student should be permitted to continue their programme of study or research, and if so on what terms. There are two levels: informal and formal. All aspects of a student's record may be taken into consideration. Where successful conclusion of the programme of study leads to professional practice, that may be taken into consideration. |
|
|
Appeal Mechanism |
The Regulations allow a student to appeal against a decision of the Faculty Student Review Committee on specified grounds to the Appeals Committee of the Senate. |
