On 10 July 2019, the Council approved amendments to the following University Regulations, with changes taking effect from the start of the 2019/2020 academic year on 1 October 2019:

• Regulation 8 (Regulation of First Degrees)

Rationale: The amendments reflect the new accreditation requirements for Engineering courses offered by the School of Engineering and Warwick Manufacturing Group.

• Regulation 11 (Procedure to be Adopted in the event of Suspected Cheating in a University Test)

Rationale: Minor amendments related to the constitution of Investigation Committees of the Senate, the penalties that can be applied and ensuring compliance with recent recommendations from the Office of Independent Adjudicator.

• Regulation 36 (Student Registration, Attendance and Progress)

Rationale: Minor amendments so that all deadlines for student assessment submissions be set between 9am and 4pm on University working days to provide greater clarity, address health and welfare issues, and enable students to seek help for technical/practical issues encountered during working office hours. It is also proposed that the penalties for late submission of assessed work should be harmonised to 5 percentage points per University working day for all taught students.
