If, after considering a candidate's submitted work and the Examiners' reports thereon, the M.D. Committee are of the view that the candidate's submitted work is not of a high enough standard, they may resolve that the candidate be given leave to resubmit the work in a revised form before proceeding to the Act, without being required to pay any additional fee.

(b) For a candidate who has submitted published work under Regulation 8, the M.D. Committee shall, after considering a candidate's submitted work and the Examiners' reports thereon,

Either (a) grant exemption from the Act and resolve that the candidate be approved for the degree;
or (b) resolve that the candidate be not approved for the degree.

The Assessor shall communicate to the candidate any resolution of the Committee under this regulation.
