5. Penalties for Non-attendance

Rules governing non-attendance at examinations and any consequent penalties are set out in full in the Examination Regulations (Regulations for the Conduct of University Examinations, Part 14). If you will be prevented by illness or other urgent cause from attending one of your examinations you should contact your college office or college tutors as soon as possible. 

In cases where the Proctors do not believe there are satisfactory reasons for non-attendance or an application to the Proctors has not been submitted, this will result in the technical failure of that exam paper. The examiners will award a mark of 0 for that paper.

Failure to attend an examination, without an accepted reason, will result in failure of the assessment. The mark for any resit of the assessment will be capped at a pass.
