Progression Results

Whilst some of your marks are unfortunately missing due to the boycott, the Progression boards have confirmed that you may continue with your studies. Until such time as these marks are known, you will trail these modules into the next level of study. When the marks are available an examination board will meet to confirm your progression decision. You will not need to repeat the teaching or retake the modules, however if when the marks are known it is found that you have in fact failed any of the missing modules from your profile then you will be given a resit opportunity for the assessment.

Your profile of marks has been considered however unfortunately you are currently missing too many marks and/or your profile of available marks means that the progression boards are unable to arrive at an progression decision for you, your progression decision will be made available as soon as your missing marks are available and considered by the board. The University will seek to provide you with a progression decision as soon as possible, please contact your Faculty in the first instance to discuss your outcome with them.

Your profile of marks has been considered by the boards and you have been given a supplementary decision, this means you will need to take resits. If you are also missing marks on your profile this also means your results have unfortunately been affected by the marking and assessment boycott and some of your marks are unavailable at this time, this does not however change your level decision.

Your profile of marks has been considered by the boards and you have been given a repeat level decision, this means you will need to repeat the level. If you are also missing marks on your profile this also means your results have unfortunately been affected by the marking and assessment boycott and some of your marks are unavailable at this time, this does not however change your level decision.

If you have recieved a trailing credit decision you can progress to the next level of study. If you have recieved a deferred progression decision you will need to wait until we have received your missing marks and we have provided you with a progression decision.

Please reach out to our Faculty and the University support services for help and guidance.

Student who are progressing with trailing credits will be given 2 opportunities to redeem any failures if once those marks are known you are required to resit. You will not therefore be at risk of withdrawal during the next academic year.

When the boycott ends the University will then be in a position to provide further updates as to when to expect the publication of your actual marks.

Regulations will be in place to ensure that wherever possible students can progress from one stage of their degree programme to the next, or progress to further study. For programmes leading to professional accreditation the University will work with the appropriate bodies to confirm requirements and acceptable moderations.

The assessment regulations allow for toleration in up to 40 credits of failures down to 30% in non-core modules (subject to PSRB requirements). If you fail more than 40 credits and/or have a mark below 30% and have been allowed to progress trailing modules you will be given a further attempt to retieve your failed module. If you are pursuing a professional programme which is subject to PSRB requirements please check with your Faculty directly.

It is important to note this is a national campaign, on which UCU held an aggregated ballot, and therefore it is expected that all universities in the UK with UCU members will experience similar industrial action. The University continues to actively engage with the Universities and Colleges Employers Association at a national level and also continues to hold regular discussions with the local branch of the UCU.

We are committed to supporting our International Students with their visas and any impact that the boycott may have on them, please reach out to the Student Compliance Team for support if you have concerns.

It is recommend that you continue to secure housing for 23/24 as planned.
