Variances to Assessment Regulations
Some courses and/or modules have approved Variances from specific aspects of the assessment regulations, normally due to Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Body (PSRB) requirements.
If you're currently studying at Teesside University, your Course Leader will be able to explain whether Variances are approved for your course.
If you're not a current student, you can get help by emailing the Student Learning & Academic Registry (SLAR) team at APR@tees.ac.uk.
