7. Regulations a) Are Academic misconduct cases submitted to Middlesex University YES/NO under its regulations?

It is expected that partners will normally adopt Middlesex University regulations for academic misconduct (section F), and also for taught programmes (sections A to E) (http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/Strategy/regulations/index.aspx). If this is so, then answer “YES” to this question and the question below.

For well-established partners with substantial experience in operating their own regulations for taught programmes and/or academic misconduct, the university will consider allowing the partner to operate under their own regulations for one or both cases. In such cases, answer “NO” to one or both of the first two questions (a) and b)), and send one or both sets of regulations to the Academic Registrar, copied to the relevant Deputy Dean and Quality Manager, for approval as appropriate. http://www.mdx.ac.uk/about-us/policies/academic-quality/handbook/ updated 27/2/18 2017/18 5 Academic Provision Approvals Committee proposal form - Collaborative programmes Appendix 2b b) b) Are Middlesex University regulations for taught programmes YES/NO adopted?* If “NO”, are any of the following adopted: Middlesex University grading scheme YES/NO Middlesex University module coding YES/NO Middlesex University credit points YES/NO c) If a partner wishes to offer RPL, please clarify if the procedures YES/NO Approval YES/NO proposed have been submitted to the Chair of the University received?
