Academic Regulations

You will have many different types of assessments to take and assignments to write throughout the year. However, it is important that you understand the rules and guidelines for completing these. You will have exams and assignments during each semester and at the end of the academic year. You need to be familiar with words like ‘plagiarism’ (which is a form of copying), ‘citing and referencing, ‘marks and standards’, and "exam regulations” etc. In addition to the University Marks & Standards which provide University regulations on programmes, all programmes also have specific rules and requirements outlined in programme regulations.
