Aberrant examination regulation
|
General |
An aberrant examination regulation deals with a deviation of the set-up or scheduling of examinations because not granting such deviation would lead to a disproportionate delay in the study programme. In most cases the aberrant examination regulation will take the form of an oral examination, but this is not necessarily the case. It is for the examiner to decide when the aberrant examination regulation will take place and what form the aberrant examination regulation will have. Once the request is granted, the student has to contact the lecturer in charge of this course for the exact arrangements. Please be aware that the examination should take place within two months from the decision of the Board of Examiners. Students need to be registered as a student of the University of Groningen at the time of the aberrant examination regulation. If the student cannot demonstrate this fact to the examiner, the examiner is not allowed to conduct the examination. Without a valid registration as a UG student the result will not be processed. |

In principle, all examinations should be conducted in the way, order and at the times, stated in the Teaching and Examination Regulation including the Examination Regulation, Ocasys, and the examination schedule. If an unacceptable delay of the degree programme impends, the Board of Examiners might grant an aberrant examination regulation for a written examination. Aberrant examination regulations can only be granted the Board of Examiners (so not the examiner) in extraordinary cases of a pressing nature. Examinations conducted in a different fashion than arranged for by this examination regulation (and thus which are not determined by the Board of Examiners), are invalid. Deviation with regard to the set-up of the degree programme (spreading, acceleration, change in order of examinations) can only be granted if they have been requested beforehand and have been approved by the Board of Examiners. No aberrant examination regulations are granted to participants of the Study Abroad programme or students in the first year of the LLB programme. Requests are only granted under very strict conditions. For more information and the conditions per category, please check the regulation. In order to facilitate students with an impairment, several options are available. Considering the fact that the nature and severity of the impairment differs per student, the Faculty aims to assist and support each students individually, since every impairment demands different facilities. The first point of contact is the study adviser of the International Office. The office hours of the study advisers of the International Office are available on www.rug.nl/law/io. Students who need extra facilities, need to contact the study adviser timely. |
