Newcastle University is committed to ensuring that disabled students are assessed appropriately and on equal terms with other students. We endeavour to meet with the QAA Code of Practice for Disabled Students regarding examinations (precept 13):
“Assessment and examination policies, practices and procedures should provide disabled students with the same opportunity as their peers to demonstrate the achievement of learning outcomes.”
Therefore, the Examinations and Academic Events section, in consultation with Disability Support, aims to provide a fair and flexible examination system for disabled students.
