| ACADEMIC CYCLE – 2023-2024 – Notes | ||||||||||
| Module dates | ||||||||||
| Operational delivery of modules is defined by start/end dates which, for standard modules, correspond to defined semester start and end dates. Modules that do not correspond to standard semester dates use actual start and end dates. The start date is the day delivery of the module begins and the end date is the date of final module assessment (e.g. end of formal examination period or deadline for final coursework submission). | ||||||||||
| Examinations held outside identified periods | ||||||||||
| All formal, centrally-run examinations should be contained within published examinations weeks. Any requests, because of exceptional circumstances, to hold formal examinations at any other time must be approved by the Assistant Registrar (Exams & Awards). | ||||||||||
