Background

The Learning and Teaching Committee Chaired by VP(AD) endorsed the following policy on 14 October 2011.

1. All University academic departments continue to be required to submit all examination papers to the Library for retention.
2. The newly received examination papers will be added to the “PolyU Examination Paper Database” which is provided solely to PolyU staff and students for private study and research.
3. The Library will retain all examination papers but, on special request and under exceptional circumstances, the Library would only provide access to the latest three years’ papers for particular subject. All examination papers will be archived. Academic staff who wish to seek an exemption for a particular subject should make an application to the University Librarian, basing their case on academic imperatives. The exemption request will stay in force until further notice.
