I would be interested to receive a copy of anything that's sent - we are also looking at this particular area at the moment. Thanks H Helen Clegg Assistant Registrar Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama 100 Renfrew Street Glasgow G2 3DB Tel 0141 270 8272 Fax 0141 332 8901 Email [log in to unmask] >>> Eleri Nugent <[log in to unmask]> 06/15/01 10:36am >>> Good morning. I realise that this is going back an incredibly long time, but I wondered if you had any responses to this enquiry to the student mailbase last year about terminating external examiners contracts? The University of Wales has now decided to put a formal procedure in place, so I would appreciate a look at anything you managed to glean from other institutions or indeed your own policy. Thanks very much.

Southampton Institute are currently reviewing their External Examiner Contract particularly in relation to precept 4. Precept 4 states "Institutions should define explicit policies and regulations governing the nomination and appointment of external examiners, and premature termination of their contract. In addition their guideline states "develop criteria and procedures for the early termination of an external examiner's contract.." Could I ask if other hei's have already developed "criteria and procedures for the early termination of an external examiner's contract" and if so would they be willing to share this with me?
