Module marks and grades are determined by combining the scores you receive on various assessments into a single percentage mark. This mark is then matched with a corresponding grade. However, in certain cases, some modules may not have specific marks or grades. Instead, your performance will be recorded as either a 'pass' or 'fail' based on whether you meet or do not meet the required standard set by the assessment criteria for that module. 

All student work that contributes to a module mark and grade is assessed according to the following standard marking and grading scheme. Click here, to view the marking the marking and grading scheme in section 7.4.

If you have not passed you may receive:

• • RC1 / RE1 (Resubmit Coursework/Exam as first attempt)

  • RB1 (Resubmit both Coursework and Exam as first attempt)

  • RC2 / RE2 (Resubmit Coursework/Exam as second attempt)

  • RC3 / RE3 (Resubmit Coursework/Exam as first attempt)

  • RA (Re-attend the entire module)

When you complete a module at UWS you will receive a mark expressed as a percentage. This mark is associated with a grade. Grade Point Average (GPA) is a way of calculating your average mark over your degree. It is a way of showing your overall level of achievement in your programme. Since 2016/17, a Grade Point Average (GPA) is applied to your result. For example, a mark of 65% would mean a grade of B1 and a grade point score of 2.5.

A student appeal is defined as a request to review a decision of an academic body charged with making decisions on student engagement, assessment, progression, awards, and student disciplinary cases.

The Senate Appeals Committee is different from an Examination Board. It cannot recommend giving you an academic award. So, if your appeal is successful, it won't change your assessment result from a fail to a pass.

 The only option you have is to re-sit the exam or submit your work again. If your appeal is not accepted, the original decision and any penalties will remain in place. 

Click here to find out more. 

The following information applies to all students who wish to submit an academic appeal:

• Please note that you must submit an appeal form within 10 working days from the notification date which informed you of the decision against which you are appealing.

• You must be clear with the grounds you are citing, as an appeal form submitted without appropriate grounds will not be passed to the Senate Appeals Committee for consideration. 

• If you are not sure whether your concern should be considered as an academic appeal or as a complaint, please seek further assistance by emailing appeals@uws.ac.uk  To enable us to progress your appeal efficiently, you must submit it on the relevant form, either electronically or in hard copy.

Further assistance can be obtained from the Student Hub or Link on each campus or the Students’ Association.

• Not to be disadvantaged as a result of submitting an appeal, irrespective of the outcome; 

• Your privacy and confidentiality are to be respected at all stages of the appeals process. The circulation of any papers connected to your appeal is to be restricted to staff directly involved in the appeals decision process through the Senate Appeals Committee;
