University Centre Regulations

As a result of the lockdown and period of remote teaching and learning, the University Centre now has a No Detriment Policy to support your achievement if you are a student on an OU programme. You are still required to complete and gain a Pass in all required assessed work. However, the way that your overall mark for the year is calculated may be changed, depending on your grade profile.

• This Help Sheet has been created to enable you to understand the key points of the Policy and how it will apply in practice
• A full copy of the No Detriment Policy is available

There are no formal arrangements for students transferring to or from other courses at other HE providers. In the event of an early course closure that required students to transfer to another HE provider, the measures outlined in GR10 Student Protection Plan would be implemented. Where a student transferred to UCCC from another HE provider where a course closed early, an applicant’s prior learning would be assessed using the guidelines outlined in AR1 Student Guide to Recognition of Prior Learning.
