All candidates shall be provided with a written record of the decision, which the Faculty/College Board of Examiners has taken about their progress. 22. When a module that contributes to a final award has been examined after a semester, or any other period of the academic year, but before the external examiner(s) can be present on the Faculty/College Board of Examiners, then the School/Internal Examination Panel may publish the provisional results, on the condition that the notice clearly states that the results are provisional and are awaiting submission to the Faculty/College Board of Examiners for validation. RETENT ION OF EXAMINATION MATERIAL 23. Except where alternative arrangements have been approved by or on behalf of the Academic Board, all written examinations and other forms of assessment that were examined during a candidate’s course of study shall be retained for three years following the date on which the results were published. 24. Candidates shall not have access to examination scripts. Work on which cumulative and other forms of assessment have been used may be returned to the candidates on a written undertaking that it shall be given back, if required, at any time. Failure on the part of a candidate to return work as required will be sufficient reason for a Faculty/College Board of Examiners not to take the work into account in determining the results of the candidate. Students who do not submit module project requirements in accordance with the required deadlines will be deemed to have failed that part of the course. REVI EW OF DECI S IONS ON ACADEMIC PROGRESS 25.
