  2. RATIONALE FOR CHANGES The Assessment Framework set out a number changes to the assessment regulations for 2012/13 and 2013/14. These aim to: • simplify, rationalise and sharpen regulations governing assessment to introduce greater clarity for students, and greater clarity in the University's communications with students on deferral and referral • address and remedy an assessment culture which is widely perceived as being too dependent on deferral, referral and mixed-level study, and therefore expensive to administrate, over-bureaucratic, and onerous for students • produce a culture which incentivises passing at first attempt • allow compensation to bring the University in line with the sector

  3.
