Introduction

Published for 2024-25

听	Scope
1.	Chapter 4 is 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 regulatory framework for the assessment and examination of Undergraduate, Graduate and Taught Postgraduate students at 香港六合彩中特网. Students should also refer to their Student Handbooks or equivalent and departmental/divisional literature for more detailed information about the specific regulations that apply to their studies.
2.	Students following joint or dual programmes delivered in conjunction with other universities and organisations should refer to their Student Handbook or equivalent for details of the regulations that apply to their studies.听
听	Threshold Standards
3.	The Assessment Framework for Taught Programmes outlines 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 threshold expectations for the assessment of students. All programmes must apply these threshold standards as a minimum.
4.	The regulations indicate where a programme may set higher standards than the minimum, subject to approval by 香港六合彩中特网 Education Committee, or its nominee. Programmes wishing to set higher standards must make a formal application via the Programme and Module Approval and Amendment Process (see Chapter 7, Part B: Programme and Module Approval and Amendment).
5.	All approved variations must be documented in the Portico Progression and Award Rules Tool听and clearly explained in the Student Handbook or equivalent.
听	Must, Should and May
6.	To ensure that the expectations of Faculties, Departments, students and staff are clear, the following verbs are adopted consistently throughout the framework:

听	a)听	Must: indicates a regulation that will be adhered to in all circumstances. Deviations from such regulations would only be granted by the Director of Education Services or Director of Student Operations as appropriate on behalf of the Vice-Provost (Education & Student Experience) in exceptional circumstances. For example 鈥淎ll programmes must include rigorous second-marking and internal moderation processes which promote consistency and fairness鈥�.
听	b)听	Should: indicates a regulation that will be adhered to unless sound pedagogical, professional or practical reasons prevent this. For example 鈥淎 variety of assessment methods should be used across a programme of study to test different knowledge and skills鈥�.
听	c)听	May: indicates where an action or regulation is permitted but not mandatory, and where there might therefore be variations across programmes and modules. For example 鈥淚nformation may be provided in a number of formats including Student Handbooks, Moodle sites and the 香港六合彩中特网 intranet鈥�. Where 鈥榤ay鈥� regulations are used, the specific arrangements in place on the programme must be explained clearly in the Student Handbook or equivalent.
