How assessment, academic integrity and academic appeals work on CHE courses
1.1 This policy sets out how the Centre for Homeopathic Education (“CHE”, “we” and “us”) assesses students, protects academic standards and handles academic appeals. It applies to all students and should be read with the Student Agreement and the Trainee Handbook.
2.1 Each course has its own published assessments. The Trainee Handbook, the assessment directive for each assessment and your cohort’s assessment calendar set out what you must complete, how it is marked and when it is due.
2.2 Academic progression is based on successfully achieving the published programme assessments and requirements at Levels 4, 5 and 6.
2.3 On the practitioner programme, you must also complete the Clinical Training, supervision and practice-readiness requirements before practitioner readiness is confirmed.
2.4 The Progression Assessment Board meets in July each year and decides progression, including where extenuating circumstances apply under the Attendance Policy.
3.1 You must:
4.1 Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, paying someone else to contribute to your work, or helping someone else to engage in academic misconduct.
4.2 The penalty depends on how serious the offence is. It can range from resubmitting a piece of work to removal from the course, with an administrative fee of up to £150 where applicable.
4.3 Allegations are handled under the disciplinary procedure in Schedule 1 of the Student Agreement.
5.1 An academic appeal asks CHE to review whether an assessment process was carried out fairly and in accordance with CHE procedure. It is not a route to challenge academic judgement simply because you disagree with a grade.
5.2 Appeals follow four stages:

5.3 Email formal appeals to [email protected], marked for the attention of the Head of Academic Operations. Your appeal should identify the procedural concern, provide relevant evidence and explain which CHE process or requirement you believe was not followed.
6.1 A complaint concerns a service, administration, communication, conduct or another aspect of your experience. It is separate from an academic appeal and is handled under our Complaints Policy.
7.1 If serious circumstances outside your control stop you submitting work or sitting an assessment on time, please use the Assessment Deferral Policy.
8.1 CHE provides one-to-one learning support. To arrange a session, or to tell us about a learning disability or support need, email [email protected]. Reasonable adjustments are covered in our Equal Opportunities Policy.
9.1 We keep appeal files for 6 years after the appeal is closed, in line with our Privacy and Cookie Policy.
