What do my results mean
 
Academic
 Advisory Office, Centre for Teaching & Learning
 
Progress
-
This means you have passed all modules and can progress to the next year of study
Restricted Compensation
-
You have not achieved the pass mark in all of your modules but you have achieved
sufficient marks to allow you pass by compensation.  Because you have some
modules which are passed by compensation this means your progression in this
subject could be restricted.  This means you can only progress in the subject(s) you
have achieved a progression result in.  You can progress to the next year of study in
any subject that has a result of Pass(P), Pass by Compensation (PC) or Allowed
Progression (AP).  You might have progression results in all of your subjects and
this restriction will not affect your choice of subjects in second year .  Any subject
that you have not got a progression in requires you to resit the supplemental
exams in that subject if you wish to continue with it.
 
What do my results mean
 
Academic
 Advisory Office, Centre for Teaching & Learning
 
Restricted Deficit
-
This means you have modules that were not eligible for compensation and you
now have a credit deficit.  You can choose to progress to the next year carrying the
deficit, usually in your other subjects 
but 
you  will have to take additional credits to
make this up in the next year or before you graduate.
-
Even though you are allowed progress , we strongly recommend you register for
and attempt the supplemental exam for that module(s) and try to clear the deficit.
Progressing carrying a deficit means paying extra fees and more lectures / exams in
the next year.
-
Due to not passing, your result is restricted, so you can only progress in the
subjects you have passed.
-
Registering for the supplemental exams requires you to complete the online form
which will be available on the Exams Office webpage after the results have issued.
 
 
 
 
What do my results mean
 
Academic

Restricted Progression
-
This means you have sufficient modules to progress but there are some modules
that you have not passed.  The restriction applied is that you can only progress in
the subjects that have a progression result.
Restricted No Progression
This means your results allowed you to compensate and the compensation has
been applied to your results.  Your marks in a module were in the range of 35-39.
However, you do not have a combination of subjects with a progression result that
will allow you progress into second year.  You will have to register for and pass the
supplemental exams to progress, otherwise, you will have to register to repeat the
year
.
Not Progress
You cannot progress, your marks are not in the compensation range, therefore you
will have to register for and pass the supplemental exams or repeat the academic
year

Frequently Asked Questions
 
Academic
 Advisory Office, Centre for Teaching & Learning
 
I have passed /passed by compensation all modules in the
subject , so why is the subject result reading as “not passed?”
 
You may not have an average mark of 40 in the subject so the result is not
passed.
-
You have not passed at least half of the credits in the subject without using
compensation so again the result is not passed
-
If you have a pass by compensation (PC) result in a module that is a
required module for the subject then you will not have passed .  Any
required module or module with an “R” indicator must be passed without
compensation
 
Frequently Asked Questions
 
Academic
 Advisory Office, Centre for Teaching & Learning
 
My annual mark is over 40 so why is my overall result “not progress?
-
The annual mark is calculated as the credit weighted average mark in the
modules where you have earned credits.  If you have modules that you did
not pass, these are then excluded from the calculation.  You should check
the number of credits you have passed and if you have not got sufficient
credits passed your result will be a 
Not Progress
.
 
You should always have a look at Marks and Standards for a more in-depth

What we will cover How results are calculated How to access your results The various progression categories and what they mean What next: supplemental exams, repeating, reviewing scripts, rechecking results and the appeals process Key referral points: including Academic and Non-Academic supports Academic Advisory Office, Centrefor Teaching& Learning

  3. How results are calculated Your annual mark is calculated by taking the credit weighted average of your module marks, excludingany ungraded modules (only modules that you have passed and earned credits in are included in the calculation). Your subject mark is calculated as the average of all your marks in modules taken in that subject (all marks are included in the calculation including the marks from modules you have not passed). Academic Advisory Office, Centrefor Teaching& Learning

  4. How to access your results When results are issued they will be released online and you can access them by logging in via Student Web Academic Advisory Office, Centrefor Teaching& Learning

  5. How to access your results Select Student Enquiry and then Exam Results Academic Advisory Office, Centrefor Teaching& Learning

  6. How to read/understand your results Award Mark:: This box only appears when graduating Annual mark result : Shows the mark for this period of study and only includes modules you have passed Credits Academic Year: shows total number of credits earned for your current academic year Credits Period of Study: shows the total cumulative credits earned in this period of study. If repeating a period of study, it will include previously earned credits. Credits to date: Shows the total earned for a first year student this should read as 60 credits Academic Advisory Office, Centre for Teaching & Learning

  7. What do my results mean Progress - This means you have passed all modules and can progress to the next year of study Restricted Compensation - You have not achieved the pass mark in all of your modules but you have achieved sufficient marks to allow you pass by compensation. Because you have some modules which are passed by compensation this means your progression in this subject could be restricted. This means you can only progress in the subject(s) you have achieved a progression result in. You can progress to the next year of study in any subject that has a result of Pass(P), Pass by Compensation (PC) or Allowed Progression (AP). You might have progression results in all of your subjects and this restriction will not affect your choice of subjects in second year . Any subject that you have not got a progression in requires you to resit the supplemental exams in that subject if you wish to continue with it. Academic Advisory Office, Centrefor Teaching& Learning

  8. What do my results mean Restricted Deficit - This means you have modules that were not eligible for compensation and you now have a credit deficit. You can choose to progress to the next year carrying the deficit, usually in your other subjects but you will have to take additional credits to make this up in the next year or before you graduate. - Even though you are allowed progress , we strongly recommend you register for and attempt the supplemental exam for that module(s) and try to clear the deficit. Progressing carrying a deficit means paying extra fees and more lectures / exams in the next year. - Due to not passing, your result is restricted, so you can only progress in the subjects you have passed. - Registering for the supplemental exams requires you to complete the online form which will be available on the Exams Office webpage after the results have issued. Academic Advisory Office, Centrefor Teaching& Learning

  9. What do my results mean Restricted Progression - This means you have sufficient modules to progress but there are some modules that you have not passed. The restriction applied is that you can only progress in the subjects that have a progression result. Restricted No Progression This means your results allowed you to compensate and the compensation has been applied to your results. Your marks in a module were in the range of 35-39. However, you do not have a combination of subjects with a progression result that will allow you progress into second year. You will have to register for and pass the supplemental exams to progress, otherwise, you will have to register to repeat the year. Not Progress You cannot progress, your marks are not in the compensation range, therefore you will have to register for and pass the supplemental exams or repeat the academic year Academic Advisory Office, Centrefor Teaching& Learning

  10. What do my results mean? A summary Result Progress Criteria All modules passed without compensation. Implications Progress to next year. Restricted Compensation Average mark at or over pass threshold (40%) AND All modules over compensation threshold (35%) AND At least half of the credits over pass threshold A maximum of 10 credits below compensation threshold (35%) AND meets compensation rules above in other 50 credits Progression allowed only in subjects that have been passed and have a grade of Pass(P), Pass by Compensation (PC) or Allowed Progression (AP) Restricted Deficit Progression allowed only in subjects that have been passed or have permission to progress with deficit. Students must make up credit deficit in Year 2, 3 or 4 Restricted No Progression You have met the requirements to compensate but you have no viable progression pathway You must register for any module(s) you have not passed in the August supplemental exams and pass the modules and earn the credits to allow you progress Academic Advisory Office, Centrefor Teaching& Learning

  11. What do my results mean? A summary Result Explanation Implication Not progress More than 10 credits below the compensation threshold (35%) OR Less than 50% of credits above the pass threshold (40%) OR Average mark in best 50 credits is less than the pass threshold.
