The University’s Policy on Assessment of Student Learning in Taught Programmes

Assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning. CUHK implements an assessment policy for all taught programmes across all Faculties and Departments, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The policy clarifies and systematizes a number of previous guideline documents, and makes explicit certain assumptions about assessment at the University. Please click here for the policy.
