For example, concerns about teaching, facilities or adjustments, are dealt with as complaints. It's important to identify whether you're complaining or appealing. If you're unsure whether you need to appeal or complain, check with your student services team first. Time limits and grounds for appeal vary from university to university so it's important to check your university's policy carefully.
The OIA doesn't rule on matters of academic judgement. So if you have been given a lower grade than expected this can only be changed if unfair bias can be shown, an error in adding up the grade proved or there were mitigating circumstances that effected your performance.
There are mechanisms in place to ensure quality and standards of marking, involving both internal and external academics. What you can do is ask for feedback as to why the mark you have been awarded is not what you were expecting — hopefully once the feedback sheets have been released this will answer any queries you have, but if not, you are welcome to ask for additional feedback.
If one of your modules has a CP next to it on your transcript, the Assessment Award Board has awarded you a compensated pass. Further information on compensation, and the full detail on this additional measure of the Safety Net, can be found in our Teaching and Learning FAQs. I have failed some modules but have not been allowed to undertake reassessment and have been advised that I must withdraw from the programme.
There are a number of reasons why an Award Assessment Board may take the decision not to allow any further attempts at a module. For example you may have reached the maximum period of registration or had the maximum number of attempts at a module.
In some cases where students have been warned about poor engagement with the programme and there is a record of a lack of attendance, the Award Assessment Board may decide that it is not in your best interests to continue with your studies.
A three-letter code beginning with R next to one or more elements is a referral code which means you must complete further assessment in that element for the corresponding module. The other two letters indicate whether the referral is as a same S or next N attempt, and how the element will be reassessed A: specified assessment, C: coursework, E: examination, P: practice, T: in-class test.
I have a lot of referred coursework to do over the summer as well as referred exams. Do I have to complete all the referred work during the summer? If you have up to 80 credits not achieved in this academic year, you will have been offered the opportunity to redeem these modules normally over the summer.
If you do not feel academically able to complete the referred work during the summer referral period you can request a repeat of the modules not achieved during the next academic year. This would involve you returning to the same stage in September and taking only the modules not achieved next year in their entirety.
You should take into consideration the financial implications of this decision as you will be charged a tuition fee for each module you repeat. If you would like to repeat all your non-achieved modules instead of taking them during the summer referred period, please contact your faculty by the deadline given with your transcript of results.
Classification is determined by how consistently you display the necessary standard of skills and understanding, and so the final programme mark reflects your average attainment across your programme of study except for the first year.
Units do not contribute equally to the degree classification in that a weighting is applied, which corresponds to a the credit point value of the unit and b the year of study in which the unit is taught.
The number of credit points each unit is worth indicates the volume of learning within the unit. The mark for a unit is therefore weighted relative to its credit point value. For example, a mark for a 20 credit point unit corresponds to one-sixth of the mark for the year where credit points are required. Each year of study is weighted to reflect the nature and importance of your achievement through the course of your programme and each type of degree programme has one of two possible weightings to reflect the nature of the subject.
Find out the year weighting for your particular programme here. This percentage figure is a balance between wishing to recognise your effort and achievement during this year in your classification with a view that the learning experience, and sometimes assessment, is being provided by an institution or organisation other than Bristol.
In Bristol, the boundary is defined as two marks below the classification threshold e. This means that a higher class of degree can be awarded where, despite a final programme mark just below the threshold, there is sufficient evidence that the higher classification is a fair and reasonable reflection of your standard of work.

However, the Examiners may recommend the award of a final University degree with Honours to a student who has passed at least credits at Levels 2 and 3, provided the overall weighted mean grade is not less than Likewise, students completing the MPLan will normally be expected to have passed all credits from Level 4 before graduating with an honours classified degree.
However, the Examiners may recommend the award of a final University degree with Honours to a student who has passed at least credits at Levels 2, 3 and 4 provided the overall weighted mean grade is not less than A candidate who fails to satisfy the Examiners in this respect of the above requirements may be recommended for the award of a Pass Degree.
A student who has not satisfied the Examiners in respect of any unit s in their final year and who has not been recommended for the award of a Degree may subject to the General Regulations as to Progress of Students enter for a subsequent examination in respect of the same unit s on one occasion.
A candidate satisfying the Examiners in a subsequent examination will be awarded a bare pass grade in respect of that unit and shall not be recommended for the award of Honours. The impact is that whereas it is possible to re-sit modules in your 1st and 2nd year without unduly influencing your final degree, any resits in your final year automatically mean that you are awarded a pass degree.
This method applies to all students entering an undergraduate programme from onwards. At the end of your programme of study, your degree classification will be made by combining two calculations, both of which are based on your weighted scores for modules at Level 2 and above. The first calculation is simply the weighted average of these grades.
