Protocol for the recording of viva examinations for the Society's postgraduate qualifications
Work submitted for assessment
All work submitted as part
of a Society qualification becomes the property of the Society. The Society
will retain work in secure facilities for as long as it deems necessary for the
purposes of its qualifications.
In most circumstances work
cannot be returned to candidates who should retain their own copies. For some
qualifications logbooks are returned to candidates and this is specified in the
relevant qualifications handbook. In these cases candidates are still advised
to retain their own copy in case of accidental loss or damage in
transit.
Examination submissions are
the property of the Society and will not be released to candidates under any
circumstances.
Appeals
In February of 2004 the Membership and Professional Training Board of the BPS approved a process for administering appeals. The appeals process is designed to be equitable and transparent and has been developed to enable the processing of appeals against decisions of the Boards of Examiners.
