Student FAQs

If we can calculate your classification, we will provide you with your certificate and all the marks we have available on the transcript.

In the exceptional case where there are missing marks (for example, where there may be extenuating circumstances), these will be confirmed as soon as possible, and you will automatically be provided with an updated transcript by post that displays all of your marks.

Please visit the Emergency Assessment Framework letter page, where you can download a copy of the letter.

If you have not satisfied the requirements for a degree award due to extenuating circumstances, you will have the option to be awarded a degree or to submit during the next available assessment period. You will need to let your School know what your choice is.

Please refer to the final year reassessment process and complete the online form if you wish to defer your graduation.

If you have missing marks but no extenuating circumstances, this is because the marking is still in progress. Once it has been marked, the Student Gateway will be updated.

We can calculate your classification because you have met the requirements for a classified degree.

You must have passed sufficient credits in accordance with normal Regulations e.g. for a three-year Bachelor’s programme:

• 360 credits attempted overall;
• minimum 320 credits passed with 100 credits minimum in final year.

Once your marks are confirmed, we will update the marks and provide you with a transcript, by post.

Please ensure your address is up to date as that is the address your documents will be sent to unless you tell us otherwise.

To get an unclassified (Pass) degree, you must have passed sufficient credits in accordance with normal Regulations, e.g. for a three-year Bachelor’s programme:

• 360 credits attempted overall;
• minimum 300 credits passed with 80 credits minimum in final year.

 

If your transcript is incomplete, it will look like the example above.

Once your marks are complete, you will be provided an updated transcript with all your marks, by post.

Please ensure your address is up to date as that is the address your documents will be sent to unless you tell us otherwise.
