How we protect the quality of your awards
External support should add capacity without adding risk. These commitments apply to all assessment work.
- Academic integrity
- We mark what students submit, against your criteria. Suspected academic misconduct is flagged to you through your own procedures.
- Confidentiality
- Student work and marks are accessed only by assigned assessors, through systems you approve, and are returned or deleted at the end of the engagement as you instruct.
- Fair, consistent assessment
- Assessors are briefed on your marking scheme and calibrated against sample scripts before marking begins.
- Experienced assessors
- Work is carried out by academics with relevant subject knowledge and experience of marking at the appropriate level.
Final decisions stay with your institution
Marks and recommendations we provide remain provisional. Final assessment decisions are made under your approved academic regulations and governance arrangements, including your examination and assessment boards.
