Aegrotat Awards |
| 13.1 |
On the recommendation of the Board of Examiners concerned, the Senate may deem a candidate who has been prevented by illness or exceptional personal cirmcumstances from attending the whole or part of a deferred assessment for a degree, diploma, certificate, testamur or other award to have been successful in that assessment and grant an Aegrotat pass, provided that: |
| 13.1.1 |
the Board of Examiners concerned has submitted a written report to the Board of the Faculty concerned certifying: |
| |
(a) that it is satisfied that the candidate's absence from the deferred assessment was justified by reason of illness or exceptional personal cirmstances, and that the evidence received had included a medical certificate or other appropriate documentation attesting to the candidate's absence submitted to the Registrar and Secretary. |
| |
(b) that it had subsequently considered the candidate's academic record including coursework and performance in previous assessments in the University, and was satisfied that the programme of study leading to the deferred assessment had been completed, and that the assessment would have been passed had the candidate not been prevented from taking it; and |
| 13.1.2 |
the Board of the Faculty concerned has endorsed the recommendation of the Board of Examiners. |
| 13.2 |
A candidate recommended for an Aegrotat pass may choose alternatively to sit the deferred examination within one further year, without attendance at the University. Such an election shall not preclude the Aegrotat pass being awarded should the candidate again be prevented by illness/exceptional personal circumstance from attending the examination. |
| 13.3 |
An Aegrotat pass will be permitted on one occasion only during the course of a student's programme of study. |
