Assessment and Examination Regulations
Types of Assessment and Grading System
- Student achievement is assessed using a five-point grading scale.
- Student performance is evaluated through mid-term (intermediate) assessments and final assessments. Midterm assessments serve as a prerequisite for admission to the final examination: students must demonstrate satisfactory performance in midterm assessments in order to progress to the final stage of each course. Students who fail to participate in a midterm assessment or receive an unsatisfactory grade are not admitted to the final examination and are considered to have an academic deficiency in the respective course. However, students are provided with an opportunity to retake the mid-term assessment in accordance with university regulations. (https://lex.uz/uz/docs/-3916793 )
- Final assessments are conducted by an academic staff member who has not taught the course, ensuring objectivity and independence in the evaluation process. The final examination constitutes the summative assessment of student achievement for each course. Examination formats, schedules, and assessment materials are approved by the respective academic department.
In accordance with the national regulatory framework governing the credit-module system (Cabinet Resolution No. 824) (https://lex.uz/docs/-5193564 ), the final assessment for each course constitutes a single summative evaluation administered at the end of the semester. The regulatory framework does not provide for re-sitting of final examinations within the same semester. Students who receive an unsatisfactory outcome in a course are required to retake the course in its entirety during an or academic break, in accordance with established academic deficiency procedures. This approach ensures that the integrity and summative function of the final assessment are preserved, and that students who repeat a course engage fully with the learning process rather than attempting isolated re-examination.
- To further ensure fairness and impartiality, written examination papers are anonymised prior to assessment. Student identities are concealed through a coding system, and examiners assess student work without access to identifying information. This procedure helps to minimise potential bias and promotes transparency and objectivity in the evaluation process.
Attendance and Academic Requirements
- Students who miss 25% or more of the scheduled classroom hours of a course without a valid reason are withdrawn from the course, are not admitted to the final assessment, and are considered not to have earned the corresponding credits.
- Students with academic deficiencies may retake failed courses during academic breaks or subsequent semesters on a fee-paying basis.
- Students who exceed 74 hours of unjustified absence within a semester are not permitted to continue their studies in the respective semester and must repeat the semester and the corresponding courses.
Progression Requirements
- Student progression from one academic year to the next is based on Grade Point Average (GPA).
- The minimum GPA required for progression is 2.4 within the institutional GPA scale.
- Students who fail to achieve the required minimum GPA repeat the academic year in accordance with national regulations.
- Students with academic deficiencies are provided with opportunities to retake failed courses rather than being automatically retained.
- The maximum period of study is eight years for Bachelor’s programmes and four years for Master’s programmes
