Dear All,
We are currently reviewing our Extenuating/Mitigating Circumstance process – currently we hold bi-monthly panel meetings with a number of academic representatives from each of our schools and a member of the Exams team to act as secretary.
The issue we’re facing is that the Academics are not fully conversant with the regulations and are agreeing some cases when they clearly should be rejected, and ultimately looking to the Exams team officer for advice.
My question to you:
·
Are decisions on Extenuating/mitigating circumstances made at a panel, or by individuals?
·
Do you have academics involved in the process?
·
If so, what level of involvement do they have?
·
If not, which department/who makes the final decision on claims?
Any feedback would be warmly received, my ideal is to remove the academics entirely as they only seem to cause headaches. Very interested to hear what set up you have at your institution.
Kind regards
