The Undergraduate Assessment Regulations (UGAR) applies to ALL undergraduate students from the 2023/24 academic year onwards, including returning/continuing students.

UGAR replaces the New Framework for Assessment: Assessment Regulations: Phase 1 for first-degree programmes (NFAAR-UG). NFAAR-UG regulations will still apply to any outstanding academic decision-making from the academic years prior to 2023/24.

We have made these changes so that our assessment regulations are easier to read and understand. Credit values have been changed to be inclusive of new unit sizes. While UGAR is different in format and language, the rules that govern progression and award remain the same.

Flowcharts to assist with decision making for courses using the UGAR regulations are available below.

If you require access to previous versions of UGAR please contact academic-standards@bath.ac.uk
