DEAN’S REMARKS
As Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) I am

privileged to welcome all new and returning students, faculty
and staff back to the campus. I am excited by the conversations
that are shaping our vision for what we can achieve together.
FSS delivers the highest quality of education and works

diligently to provide all of our students with the programmes
and platforms necessary to succeed in whichever career
pathways they choose. Our faculty members are leaders in
their scholarly fields nationally and internationally. Their
research explores fundamental aspects of social, political and
economic phenomena and contributes to and improving the
day-to-day lives of persons across the Caribbean.
The extraordinary breadth and depth of FSS makes us distinct on the campus and beyond.
Capitalising on this breadth and depth resonates deeply as a way to anchor our goals and priorities.
These priorities emphasise our role as a leader in the UWI’s mission of excellence in research,
teaching, service to the university and to the public, and our dedication to providing our region with
indigenous learning and knowledge.
Success will involve the skills, wisdom, and creativity of everyone in our Faculty. I am grateful for
the dedication of our faculty, staff and supporters who continue to bring meaning to our mission.
I am pleased to welcome you to share in a journey of discovery, innovation, and scholarship.
Troy Lorde

University under Statute 25, makes the following regulations to govern the Grade Point Average system in the University,
effective 2003/2004 academic year for all candidates newly entering a programme. Persons who enter the system prior to
2003/2004 academic year to pursue first degrees will be considered under the GPA scheme effective 2006/2007. All
students entering the Faculty of Law in the academic year 2005/2006 and the Faculty of Medical Sciences in the academic
year 2006/2007 shall be governed by the GPA Regulations in the calculation of the award of their respective degrees.
However, students entering the Faculty of Law prior to 2005/2006 and the Faculty of Medical Sciences prior to 2006/2007
will be treated under the old system of classification. A student who entered the University prior to 2003/2004 and changes
his/her major subsequent to the introduction of GPA will be considered to be “newly entering a programme”

HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR WEIGHTED GPA
STEP ONE: A ‘grade point’ is assigned for every course in which you receive a final grade. For example, if you
receive an A as a final grade, you will be assigned a grade point of 4.0.
STEP TWO: The grade point assigned for each course completed is multiplied by the ‘credit hours’ of the course to
determine your ‘quality points’. For example, if you receive a grade point of 3.7 [equivalent of letter grade A-]
for a 3-credit course the quality points would be calculated as follows: 3.7
X 3 = 11.1 quality points.
STEP THREE: Your ‘Weighted GPA’ is the average obtained by dividing the total quality points earned in your
programme to date by the total credit hours taken, excluding courses taken on a pass/fail basis, audited courses,
courses taken for preliminary credit, incomplete courses and any other courses which do not count towards the
38
HANDBOOK 2022-2023
class of degree according to Faculty regulations.
For example: 54 quality points earned divided by 15 credit hours [equivalent to 5 3-credit courses) = a Weighted
GPA of 3.6.
UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS ON PLAGIARISM (First Degrees, Diplomas and

Certificates)
Application of these Regulations
1. These Regulations apply to the presentation of work by a student for evaluation, whether or not for credit, but do not apply
to invigilated written examinations.
Definition of plagiarism
2. In these Regulations, “plagiarism” means the unacknowledged and unjustified use of the words, ideas or creations of
another, including unjustified unacknowledged quotation and unjustified unattributed borrowing;
“Level 1 plagiarism” means plagiarism which does not meet the definition of Level 2 plagiarism;
“Level 2 plagiarism” means plagiarism undertaken with the intention of passing off as original work by the plagiariser
work done by another person or persons.
3. What may otherwise meet the definition of plagiarism may be justified for the purposes of Regulation 2 where the particular
unacknowledged use of the words, ideas and creations of another is by the standards of the relevant academic discipline a
function of part or all of the object of the work for evaluation whether or not for credit, for example:
a. The unacknowledged use is required for conformity with presentation standards;
b. The task set or undertaken is one of translation of the work of another into a different language or format;
c. The task set or undertaken requires producing a result by teamwork for joint credit regardless of the level of individual
contribution;
d. The task set or under taken requires extensive adaptation of models within a time period of such brevity as to
exclude extensive attribution;
e. The task set or undertaken requires the use of an artificial language, such as is the case with computer programming,
where the use of unoriginal verbal formulae is essential.
4. It is not a justification under Regulations 2 and 3 for the unacknowledged use of the words, ideas and creations of another
that the user enjoys the right of use of those words, ideas and creations as a matter of intellectual property.
Other definitions
5. In these Regulations, “Chairman” means the Chairman of the relevant Campus Committee on Examinations;
“Examination Regulations” means the Examination and other forms of Assessment Regulations for First Degrees Associate
Degrees Diplomas and Certificates of the University;
“set of facts” means a fact or combination of facts.
Evidence of plagiarism
6. In order to constitute evidence of plagiarism under these Regulations, there shall be identified as a minimum the passage or
passages in the student’s work which are considered to have been plagiarised and the passage or passages from which the
passages in the student’s work are considered to have been taken.
Student Statement on Plagiarism

7. When a student submits for examination work under Regulation 1, the student shall sign a statement, in such form as the
Campus Registrar may prescribe, that as far as possible the work submitted is free of plagiarism including unattributed
quotation or paraphrase of the work of another except where justified under Regulation 3.
8. Quotation or paraphrase is attributed for the purpose of Regulation 7 if the writer has indicated using conventions
appropriate to the discipline that the work is not the writer’s own.
9. The University is not prohibited from proceeding with a charge of plagiarism where there is no statement as prescribed
under Regulation 7.
Electronic vetting for plagiarism

10. The results of any electronic vetting although capable, where the requirements of Regulation 7 are satisfied, of constituting
evidence under these Regulations, are not thereby conclusive of any question as to whether or not plagiarism exists.
39
HANDBOOK 2022-2023
Level 1 plagiarism
11. In work submitted for examination where the Examiner is satisfied that Level 1 plagiarism has been committed, he/she
shall penalize the student by reducing the mark which would have otherwise been awarded taking into account any relevant
Faculty regulations.
Level 2 plagiarism
12. Where an examiner has evidence of Level 2 plagiarism in the material being examined, that examiner shall report it to the
Head of Department or the Dean and may at any time provide the Registrar with a copy of that report. In cases where the
examiner and the Dean are one and the same, the report shall be referred to the Head of the Department and also to the
Campus Registrar.

BSc HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM MANAGEMENT
This Programme is offered jointly with the Barbados Community College (BCC), Antigua and Barbuda Hospitality
Training Institute (Antigua), T.A. Marryshow Community College (Grenada), Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (St.
Lucia), and Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College (St. Kitts). In the programme, students are required to complete the Two-Year
Associate Degree in Applied Arts - Tourism and Travel, or the Associate Degree in Applied Arts - Hotel Catering and Institutional
Operations, (or equivalent) with a 2.75 grade point average, before proceeding to complete years 3 and 4 in the Faculty.
The four-year programme consists of a core of Hospitality and Tourism courses, along with Business and
Management courses, in two (2) areas of specialisation, viz. Hospitality Management and Tourism Management. The
vocational courses, particularly in Hospitality, will be undertaken during the first two years of study at the purpose-built
facilities of the Hospitality Division of BCC. In years 3 and 4 a range of Business and Management courses is offered mainly at
the Cave Hill campus of the UWI. The four-year programme is designed to be both academically sound and specifically relevant
to the Regional Hospitality and Tourism Industry. The training will provide opportunities for employment in hotels,
transportation and tour operation companies, travel agency operations, national and regional tourism organizations and
government departments. It will be of benefit to those already in the industry as well as those seeking to enter this diverse field.
Students will receive practical exposure to kitchen, restaurant and general hotel management operations at the
Pommarine Training Hotel facility. They will also be given the opportunity to gain experience and a realistic appreciation
of the working environment of the industry through an internship scheme. A six (6) week internship is undertaken at the
end of Year 2, and a further twelve (12) week industry internship is undertaken at the end of Year 3 of the programme.
Language training is built into the degree programme as a requirement during the first two years.
