| For context: around 40,000 laws papers were taken in the 2017/18 academic year | *High numbers of reports of minor breaches of exam protocol, which resulted in no further action. This accounts for 56 incidents of examination offences. | **Four cases from the May/June 2019 exams remain under consideration as to whether there is a case to answer or not. | ***Eight cases from the May/June 2019 exams have received a formal accusation but the outcome has yet to be determined. | ****'No report' is the standard penalty applied for assessment offences. It appears as a 'zero' on a student's transcript but does not count for the purposes of progression or completion of an award. It reduces the number of attempts at an assessment by 1. It can be applied to an element of assesment, a module or all assessments taken in an academic year |
