The Student Charter for Collaborative Partners of the University of East London (UEL)

Our partners aim to give you high-quality, fair, thorough and clear assessment procedures and practice.

to be provided with conditions for assessment in each module, including how it will be marked, the standard you must reach and information on the type of feedback you can expect;
to be given information on what will happen if you hand in work late, and the way in which plagiarism (e.g. copying other people's work) is dealt with and other examples of cheating;
that students with disabilities and dyslexia are not disadvantaged by providing appropriate changes to assessments;
to be given feedback on assessments, normally within four weeks of the formal date for handing assessments in;
details of the exam timetables to be published normally eight weeks before the exams begin;
feedback to be provided on exam results normally within five weeks of the exam period ending;
to be informed before exams begin where and when results are published; and
to be sent an academic transcript six weeks after the end of the year listing all the modules you have taken during the academic year and your results.

make sure you hand your coursework in on the given dates and that it meets the conditions given to you;
make sure you know the dates and times of your exams;
prepare and revise carefully for your exams, and contact the appropriate person if you are having problems;
tell the appropriate person as soon as possible if you have a disability or dyslexia so that we can make any changes to assessments that may be necessary;
attend all your exams and make sure that you do not disturb other students or affect their performance;
get to know the accepted methods of academic writing (including referencing) and read the regulations for dealing with assessment offences (such as cheating or copying the work of others); and
make sure the information on your academic record is correct and that you notify the appropriate person if any details have changed.
