Checking Exam Results
You should be aware of the following information:
- Each script/ assignment/ dissertation or piece of course-work is marked by two Examiners working independently who subsequently agree a final mark.
- Your confirmed result is determined at a Board meeting at which all Examiners are represented including External Examiners from other Universities who have a specific responsibility to ensure parity of standards.
- If you have submitted evidence relating to problems which affected your performance at the examination/s, for example a medical report/certificate, this will have been presented to the Board of Examiners and taken into consideration by the Board in determining your results.
- Please note: there is no provision in the University Regulations for the consideration of an appeal on academic grounds; in all cases, the decision of the Board of Examiners is final.
If you remain concerned that an administrative error may have been made in the calculation of your
result or that the examination was not conducted in accordance with the relevant Regulations, please
refer to the 'Administrative
check' for detailed information and advice.
Please note, the University is unable to provide you with individual comments relating to your performance in a particular examination. However, the University does issue Examiners' Reports annually (available to you later in the year), and these reports provide much useful information to assist you in the preparation of your examinations.
