Assessment Regulations 1
INTRODUCTION TO THE ASSESSMENT REGULATIONS
These Regulations are written for ease of use by students and staff of ArtsEd, and aim to support transparency in the operation of City, University of London’s assessment and award framework. The Regulations should be read together with the Programme information provided in the Programme and Module Specifications, any specific Programme Regulations where applicable and related Regulations and policies. These Assessment Regulations are also subject to relevant external legal and regulatory requirements including, but not limited to, the Equality Act 2010. 2
General Principles
i.
The Assessment Regulations apply to all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes taught at ArtsEd that lead to an award of City, University of London. The Regulations should be read in conjunction with the Assessment and Feedback Policy and City’s other relevant regulations, policies and procedures.
ii.
The Assessment Regulations cover all aspects of the conduct of assessment, how students progress and how Awards are made.
iii.
All members of ArtsEd and City’s community are responsible for upholding the Assessment Regulations. Consistent use of these Regulations ensures: • that all students are treated fairly, • independence in the assessment process, and • that the assessment of students is appropriate to maintain the academic standards of ArtsEd’s programmes and City’s Awards.

The process of registration and/or re-registration will confirm a student’s acceptance of these Assessment Regulations and any amendments made for the academic year.
2.1
Awards of CITY involving validated and partner institutions
As a validated institution, ArtsEd is bound by these Regulations. For Validated Programmes, any variations are considered and approved by the Collaborative Provision Committee on behalf of Senate. Reference to Boards of Studies in these Regulations is synonymous with Course Boards for Validated Programmes. As ArtsEd’s programmes are validated by City, these regulations refer to the Course Board rather than the Board of Studies. 3

PRINCIPLES OF THE ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK
Framework for Academic Awards
City has a Credit Framework to guide how academic Programmes are structured and how student achievement is measured. The Credit Framework sets out the amount and level of Credit that is required for each Award. The Awards of City are governed by Senate Regulations 15 (Undergraduate Programmes), 16 (Graduate Programmes) and 17 (Postgraduate Programmes). Specific requirements for each Programme are set out in Programme Specifications (as described in Section 3.2.1 below). 63
