# >An interesting aside, arising from the DPA98 conference the other # >day. Phil Boyd made it clear that you will not be able to withold the # >final mark from a student, even if they haven't paid up - it's all to # >do with subject access rights. You can withold the award, but not the I agree entirely # >mark. So they will be able to discover that they have a 2:1, or a 1st, # >or whatever, even though they don't actually have the award itself. but taking it one step further I recall it was suggested that the whole question of awarding a degree would not be taken to the exam board so that if a subject access request is made there will be no reference to the award (which may be given after the fees are paid etc.) Salyl Justice %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
