8 EXAMINATION AND ASSESSMENT REGULATIONS Please refer to the Course Approval and Review Handbook when completing this section. The examination and assessment regulations for the course should be in accordance with the University s General Examination and Assessment Regulations for Taught Courses (available from staffcentral or studentcentral). Specific regulations which materially affect assessment, progression and award on the course e.g. Where referrals or repeat of modules are not permitted in line with the University s General Examination and Assessment Regulations for Taught Courses. Exceptions required by PSRB These require the approval of the Chair of the Academic Board For the Diploma the stage of the award will be 150 credits and students may be referred in up to 80 credits. The pass mark for each module and each component of assessment i.e. the coursework and exam will be 40%. Where coursework consists of more than one element e.g. in-class tests an overall average of 40% is required. The course will be examined as a whole with no exit award and a pass/fail outcome The ACCA rules allow students to repeat all examinations and do not put a limit on the number of referrals. The move to 80 credits referral represents a compromise between the University normally 50% of the credits at the stage and the ACCA rules.
