As stated in the information available at https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/coronavirus/your-studies.aspx for non-final year Undergraduate students and part-time Postgraduate Taught students continuing in the next academic year, all students are being automatically progressed to the next academic year. The only requirement is that you engage with a formative piece of Bridging Coursework to prepare you for your next year of study.

With the exception of 1^st year Undergraduate students (as 1^st year marks do not count towards your final degree classification) and students on programmes that don’t award a classified honours degree (e.g. MBChB and BDS), a provisional progression mark will be calculated for you and displayed in Online Results. To calculate a provisional progression mark, we will calculate a weighted average from your available marks for this year’s modules as follows:

• Include all marks from completed modules;
• In addition, where modules are incomplete, we will include marks from all individual pieces of completed work and the credits achieved for those modules will be pro-rated.

Therefore, we have made changes to Online Results to display the credits that have been awarded for a module.

As stated in the University of Birmingham Frameworks for Assessment and Progression for UG/PGT finalists at: https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/coronavirus/Update-for-finalists-030420.aspx, in determining how many credits a student has accumulated, for most programmes, partial modules will be accepted. This means that where a student has passed part – but not all – of the assessment components of a module, that will count as a pro rata of the overall module credit value. For example, a student who has completed a piece of work worth 50% of a 20-credit module can therefore be said to have completed 10 credits towards the minimum credits threshold.

Therefore, we have made changes to Online Results to display the credits that have been awarded for a module.
