Results

When do I get my results?

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 that your results will be made available as soon as possible.

Your interim results will be published to GCULearn, but finalised results will be published on your Student Portal all at once. You will receive an email to your GCU email when these are available.

Trimester A modules

Results on a module basis will normally be available by the first week of February.

Please note however, where your results are due to be considered by a Progression and Awards Board meeting, the majority of Board meetings are due to take place during the first two weeks in February, and results cannot be released until after the Board has met, usually within two days of the meeting.

Trimester B modules

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.

July/August assessment period

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

Results will normally be available by the first week in September for undergraduate programmes and the first week in October for master's programmes.

Mark grade schemes

Overall module grades

Grade	Description
P	You have passed the module
F	You have failed the module
FP	Your attempt has been preserved, usually as a result of a Fit2Sit or Extreme and Exceptional Extenuating Circumstances (EEEC) being accepted. Your attempt will not count, and you will be eligible to attempt the module again.
CO	You have been given a compensated pass in your module; you will not have to resit.
DF	Your result has been deferred, and a decision will be with you soon.
SS	You were on Suspension of Studies and as such no mark has been given.

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.

Grade	Description
P1	Module Passed.
P2	Module passed with a compensatory pass.
F1	Module failed, re-sit will take place at the next re-sit diet.
F2	Module failed, re-sit the module with attendance, normally the next academic session.
F3	Module failed, no more re-sit attempts remaining.
F7	Fit to Sit (F2S)/Extreme Extenuating Circumstances (EEC) accepted, re-sit module at the next re-sit diet. You will not lose an attempt.
F8	Fit to Sit (F2S)/Extreme Extenuating Circumstances (EEC) accepted, re-sit module with attendance, normally the next academic session. You will not lose an attempt.
F9	Preserved attempt on module, re-sit module with attendance, normally the next academic session. You will not lose an attempt.
FP	Preserved attempt on module, re-sit module at the next resit diet. You will not lose an attempt.
N1	Non-submission of assessment, re-sit will take place at the next re-sit diet.
N2	Non-submit of assessment, re-sit the module with attendance, normally the next academic session.
N3	Non-submission of assessment, no more re-sit attempts remaining.
NC	Non-completion due to factors outside of the control of the student. No attempts incurred.
A1	Absent from assessment – re-sit will take place at the next re-sit diet.
A2	Absent from assessment – re-sit the module with attendance, normally the next academic session.
A3	Absent from assessment – no more re-sit attempts remaining.
D1	Deferred Decision – outcome will be updated as soon as possible.
D2	Outward Exchange - awaiting results from an exchange module.
SS	Suspension of Studies – no attempt made on module due to being on Suspension of Studies. Attempt will be preserved until return.
WD	Withdrawn from course.
V1	Attempts are Null/void due to an issue. An attempt will be incurred, and re-sit will take place at the next re-sit diet.
V2	Attempts are Null/void due to an issue. An attempt will be incurred, and re-sit the module with attendance, normally the next academic session.
V3	Attempts are Null/void due to an issue. An attempt will be incurred and no more re-sit attempts are remaining.
Q1	Qualified Failure - (Where a student fails to obtain a mark more than the threshold for that component (normally below 34% UG /44% TPG) Re-sit will take place at the next re-sit diet.
Q2	Qualified failure - Where a student fails to obtain a mark more than the threshold for that component (normally below 34% UG /44% TPG) re-sit the module with attendance, normally the next academic session.
Q3	Qualified Failure - Where a student fails to obtain a mark more than of the threshold for that component (normally below 34% UG /44% TPG) No further re-sit attempts remaining.

Module pass mark and Minimum threshold requirements

In order to pass a module, students are required to meet a minimum threshold for each assessment as well as gain an overall aggregated pass mark. Below is a brief explanation and exemplar scenarios

Assessment Weighting 50:50	Mark	Observations
Assessment 1	36%	Mark exceeds minimum mark threshold
Assessment 2	50%	Mark exceeds minimum mark threshold
Module Mark	43% (P)	Student passes the module

Assessment Weighting 50:50	Mark	Observations
Assessment 1	32%	Mark does not minimum mark threshold
Assessment 2	38%	Mark exceeds minimum mark threshold
Module Mark	35% (F)	Student fails the module, due to failing to meet the overall passmark. In this scenario the expectation is that the student will retake both assessment 1 and assessment 2 even though the min threshold was met for assessment 2

Assessment Weighting 50:50	Mark	Observations
Assessment 1	46%	Mark exceeds minimum mark threshold
Assessment 2	60%	Mark exceeds minimum mark threshold

Assessment Weighting 50:50	Mark	Observations
Assessment 1	38%	Mark does not minimum mark threshold
Assessment 2	64%	Mark exceeds minimum mark threshold
Module Mark	51% (F)	Student fails the module, Assessment 1 mark does not meet threshold and therefore the student will have to resubmit Assessment 2
