Results

When do I get my results?

From Academic Year 2022/23 all students will receive their assessment results via the Student Portal at gcu.ac.uk/studentportal

This means that your results will no longer be emailed directly to your GCU email address.

Using your Student Portal allows you access to your results at any time, view results from previous years and manage your own information.

The timing of when you receive your assessment results has not changed:

Please be aware you may receive separate notifications for each module
The release of your results may be spread over a number of days. This is because your results are released as and when they have been 'signed off' by each module leader. Please be assured your results will be made available as soon as possible.
Results on a module basis will normally be available by the third week in February.
Please note however, where your results are due to be considered by a Progression & Awards Board meeting, the majority of Board meetings are due to take place during the first three weeks in February and results cannot be released until after the Board has met, usually within two days of the meeting.

After the Trimester B assessment period, the Progression and Award board publishes your results for the whole year. Results will normally be available during the second week in June.

After the August assessment period, the assessment board publishes your results for the whole year.

Results will normally be available by the first two weeks in September for Undergraduate programmes and the first week in October for Masters programmes.

F	Fail
FP	Fail – Preserved Attempt
CO	Compensated Pass
DF	Deferred Result
SS	Suspension of Studies where a preserved attempt has been awarded

Grades for each individual assessment component undertaken

Where your module has more than one assignment, for example, an essay and a presentation which carry separate marks, the weighted marks from the assignments are used to calculate a coursework aggregate. This would be the same if your module has more than one exam, an exam aggregate is calculated.

Where your module has an exam and course works, the coursework and exam aggregates are important because you need to achieve a minimum mark in them as well as getting the pass mark for the module. For modules with a 40% pass mark, the required aggregated mark for the coursework average and the exam average is usually 35%. You usually need a minimum of 45% in the coursework average and the exam average if the pass mark for your module is 50%.

The required minimum marks, the pass mark and how the marks for your assessments are weighted should be explained in your module descriptor. Please contact your Module Leader if you need more information.
