their module tutor, Personal Tutor/Academic Advisor, Head of Departments and the Student
Support Services department.
2.1.1. Module Tutor and Head of the Department
For module specific queries, students should always seek for clarification from a member of
the respective module teaching staff (e.g., Module Tutor) in the first instance. Module Tutors
are much more likely to have detailed knowledge of the issues in question and can offer
professional advice immediately.
Head of the Department is responsible for ensuring that students have fulfilled the learning
outcomes of programme to a satisfactory standard and have received academic and non-
academic support when they need them.
2.1.2. Personal Tutor/Academic Advisor

settle into life in Higher Education but also to better understand what is expected from you as
a student at the College. Every student is given a Personal Tutor/Academic Advisor from
within the department during the induction period. Your Personal Tutor/Academic Advisor
will be your first point of contact if you wish to discuss any problems or issues (academic or
not) which you are faced with while at the college.
16 | P a g e
2.1.3. Student Support Services Department
Student Support Services department provides academic and non-academic support for
students and it is located on the ground floor of the main building which is open from 8.00am

controlled by the College. The SSSD works closely with all the other departments, such as:
the college clinic, the student counseling office and Career Guidance center. It also helps
students to achieve academic and psychological stability within the college environment,
which would entitle them to be active members of the college’s community and develop their
interpersonal skills. Also, to provide students with the practical skills and professionalism
required by the labor market to be available after graduation from the College.
2.1.4. Student Counsellor
Occasionally you may need more specialist counselling to make sure you get the most out of
your time at ICEM. ICEM counsellor will give you the support that you may need and gives you
time and space to explore issues that are of concern to you. These might include

Different communication channels are developed to support you in voicing your opinion,
provide on-going advice and support, and encourage your involvement in all feedback
opportunities. You will be requested to complete various questionnaires throughout the
academic year for all services provided, including your feedback on academic staff.
2.2.1. Student Representatives
The representatives are students who are elected by their fellow students in order to voice
any issues concerning the course. They represent the students of their programme at the
Student Staff Liaison Committee meetings which normally take place once each semester.
One student from each year of study, from each programme will be elected for this role.
Student Representatives should help students - by making sure that their suggestions,
observations, views, opinions and concerns reach college staff who can help. Also, they should
help staff by informing students about actions, decisions and plans that will affect students
and their programme.
18 | P a g e
2.2.2. Student Staff Liaison Committee Meetings (SSLC)
The purpose of a SSLC meetings is to provide the opportunity for Student Course
Representatives to feedback to staff about the course, the overall student experience and to
inform developments which will improve future modules/programmes. These meetings are
normally scheduled once per semester. The minutes of the meetings will be read by the
College Management Team and sent to UClan. At least once in the Academic Year, a member
of staff from UClan will attend the SSLC meeting for your programme.
2.2.3. Students Advisory Council

The Students Advisory Council is a student-led, democratic council and exists to make your
student experience better for you while studying at the College. Students shall elect a group
among them at the beginning of the academic year. Student group shall elect a chair and a

2.2.4. Feedback through Personal Tutors/ Academic Advisor and Module Tutors
Your Module Tutor and Personal Tutor/ Academic Advisor will listen to your problem and then
advise you as best as they can on how to resolve it. As they are academic experts, they might
not be able to assist you with all your personal matters but will definitely assist you in setting
up an appointment with someone else who is better equipped to help you, such as Student
Support Services officers, Student Counsellor etc.
For any module related queries, students can discuss directly with module tutors. This can
ensure immediate attention to students’ concerns and actions can be taken where necessary.
2.2.5. Student Feedback

You can play an important part in the process of improving the quality of this programme
through the feedback you give. Module Evaluation Questionnaires and the Student

b. Assessment
i. Assessment Strategy
The purpose of assessment is to provide the opportunity for students to demonstrate that
they have fulfilled the learning outcomes of the programme and achieved the standard
required for the award they seek.
The overall assessment strategy used during the programme includes the use of formative
and summative assessment weighting applied to exams, coursework or practical assessments
and is set out in each of the modules. To pass the module you must achieve an aggregate
mark of 40%, aggregated across all assessments.
ii. Notification of assignments and examination arrangements
Students will be notified of the requirements for individual assessments and their respective
deadlines for submission / examination arrangements during a timetabled session, within
module information packs or through Blackboard. Students should submit their assignments
in accordance with the requirements detailed in the Assessment Submission criteria of their
assignment. The timetable of the final exams will be displayed on the department notice
boards and a copy of the timetable will be emailed to students. The classroom allocations will
28 | P a g e
be displayed on the notice boards and sent by email at least one day before the exam.
iii. Late Submissions
If you submit work late, a penalty will be applied in relation to unauthorised late submission
of work.
 If you submit work within 5 working days after the published submission date, you will
obtain the minimum pass mark (40%) for that element of assessment.
 Work submitted later than 5 working days after the published submission date will be
awarded a mark of 0%.
 Unauthorised late submission at resubmission will automatically be awarded a mark of
0%.
iv. Extensions and extenuating circumstances
For extensions and extenuating circumstances to be considered, they should be

unforeseeable or unpreventable and may have had a significant adverse effect on the
academic performance of a student. Possible extenuating circumstances include:
 significant illness or injury;
 the death or critical/significant illness of a close family member/dependent;
 family crises or major financial problems leading to acute stress;
 absence for jury service or maternity, paternity or adoption leave;
 a criminal act where you have been a victim
It is the sole responsibility of the student to submit a request for consideration of extenuating
circumstances to the Student Support Services Department according to the published
procedures and deadlines. Student may submit a request for extension of deadline before the
submission date to the concerned Module Tutor along with relevant evidences/documents.
The student must submit claims for extenuating circumstances within 5 working days of the
assessment deadline along with corroborating evidence. Requests for extenuating
circumstances submitted outside the deadline date will not be considered without a credible
and compelling explanation as to why the circumstances were not known or could not have
been declared beforehand.
29 | P a g e
v. Feedback Following Assessments
The College is committed to provide you clear, legible and informative feedback for all your
assessments. You are expected to review and reflect on your feedback and learn from each
experience to improve your performance as you progress though the course.
 For all assignments, students will be provided with feedback within 15 working days of
the scheduled submission. Feedback may be provided in oral, written, audio or digital
format as appropriate, and individual feedback will be posted on Blackboard.
 For Final Examinations, students will not be provided with individual feedback.
Students may request generic feedback if needed. Generic feedback may include an
outline of the expected answers.
Please note that all assignments and exam scripts are externally moderated by UCLan Course
Leaders and by the External Examiners prior to Module/Assessment Boards. All marks
awarded are provisional subject to confirmation by the Module/Assessment Boards of the
University of Central Lancashire, UK.
vi. Academic Misconduct (Which Includes Cheating, Plagiarism, Collusion or Re-

Presentation)
 Cheating is any deliberate attempt to deceive and covers a range of offences described
in the Academic Handbook.
 Plagiarism describes copying from the works of another person without suitably
attributing the published or unpublished works of others.
 Collusion is an attempt to deceive the examiners by disguising the true authorship of
an assignment by copying, or imitating in close detail another student’s work - this
includes with the other student’s consent and also when 2 or more students divide the
elements of an assignment amongst themselves and copy one another’s answers.
 Re-presentation is an attempt to gain credit twice for the same piece of work.
You are required to sign a declaration indicating that individual work submitted for an
assessment is your own. If an allegation is found to be proven, then the appropriate penalty
will be implemented:
1. For the first time: the penalty will be 0% for the element of assessment, the plagiarized
30 | P a g e
element of assessment must be resubmitted to the required standard and the mark for
the module following resubmission will be restricted to the minimum pass mark (i.e.
40%).
2. In the event of a repeat offence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion or re-presentation on
the same or any other module within the course; the appropriate penalty will be 0% for
the module with no opportunity for reassessment and you will have to retake the module
in a subsequent year.
The College uses an online Assessment Tool called Turnitin. Students are required to self-
submit their own assignment on Turnitin via Blackboard and will be given access to the
Originality Reports arising from each submission. In operating Turnitin, all summative
assessments will be marked anonymously where possible. Turnitin may also be used to assist
with plagiarism detection and collusion, where there is suspicion about individual piece(s) of
work.
The accepted similarity percentage for an assessment is about 10%. However, the case may
still be reported for investigation if the similarity percentage is below 10% subject to the
Module Tutor’s academic judgment. Similarity percentages above 10 % will be reported to the
Unfair Means to Enhance Performance Committee for further discussion with the Module
Tutor/justification from the Module Tutor. The case may or may not be formally investigated.
vii. Reassessment
The decision to offer reassessment to you is at the discretion of the Assessment Board. The
reassessment shall be offered to a student who does not achieve an aggregate mark of 40%,
aggregated across all assessments in the module. Reassessment takes place before the start
of the following academic year. The best mark that may be awarded for a reassessment in a
module is 40%.
viii. In-Module Reassessment
In order to help students, make progress with their study, where a student has failed a
component and is required to be reassessed in that component, in-module reassessment is
permitted subject to the agreement with Module Leader. The maximum mark which may be
awarded for in-module reassessed component will be the minimum pass mark. As part of
31 | P a g e
Academic Regulation, a module, or a component within it, may be reassessed only once.
c. Retaking of Modules
You shall not be permitted to retake a module which has been passed. You shall retake the
modules which you have not passed. The best mark that may be awarded for retaken module
is 40%.
d. Appeals against Assessment Board Decisions
