Regulation changes 2015/16

Changes to Examination Regulations published in the Gazette during academic year 2015/16

The files containing individual changes have been consolidated into a single file for each board/combined board. Within each file the regulation changes are in the following order:

  • chronological, then
  • academic precedence, then
  • alphabetical

The easiest way to navigate the individual files is to use the bookmarks or document outline; alternatively, text search will work within the file.

Please note that the files are now hosted on SharePoint, and only available to current members of the University. You will need to log into your Single Sign-On account to access them. If you are not a current member of the University and require access to any of these files, please email us to request a copy of the file/s that you need: gazette@admin.ox.ac.uk.
