Introduction

The Academic Regulations, originally approved in June 2006 and introduced in the 2006/07 academic year, are a key policy document approved by the Senate. They provide the regulatory framework for Anglia Ruskin’s 15/30 credit curriculum, setting and maintaining the academic standard of all undergraduate and taught postgraduate pathways leading to an Anglia Ruskin award at all delivery points including UK and international partner institutions.

Transitional Arrangements

Since the introduction of the Academic Regulations in July 2006 (for the 2006/07 academic year), a number of transitional arrangements were agreed and published. As a general principle, the Academic Regulations applied with effect from September 2006 to all taught pathways at all levels leading to an Anglia Ruskin award, unless otherwise stated in any of the transitional arrangements listed above.

In the vast majority of cases, these arrangements are no longer required or are no longer valid. For information purposes, full details of these transitional arrangements are provided below for the following circumstances:

• transition from the former Curriculum Regulations (12th Edition, July 2005) to the Academic Regulations (1st Edition, July 2006)
• arrangements for “short life” pathways permitted by the Senate to continue their delivery in a 10/20 credit structure after July 2006 for a finite period (usually only for 2006/07)
• transition for pathways delivered by the former Homerton School of Health Studies (HSHS) following the convergence of the HSHS curriculum and the former Anglia Ruskin Institute of Health and Social Care (IHSC) and the resulting creation of the Faculty of Health and Social Care (FHSC)
