I have received an interim classification, what does this mean? Can I still graduate?

Where marks are missing as a result of the industrial action, you may be awarded an interim degree.

If you have been awarded an Interim Unclassified Award this means that the exam board has received insufficient marks as a result of the marking and assessment boycott to award a classified degree. The classification for your award will be confirmed at a later date once the missing marks become available. You have been awarded a degree and you can graduate.

If you have been awarded an Interim Classified Award (Interim 2:1 Hons, Interim 2:2 Hons, Interim 3rd Class Hons) this means that you have been awarded a classified degree but your final classification will be reviewed at a later date once missing marks become available. At that point, if your overall average mark has increased based on your marks, you will be considered for the higher classification award in accordance with the standard University regulations. You have been awarded a degree and you can graduate.

If you have been awarded an Interim Unaccredited Award, this means that there were missing marks as a result of the marking and assessment boycott and the exam board has been unable to determine whether the accreditation requirements for your programme have been met. Once the missing marks become available your full profile of marks will be reviewed alongside the accreditation requirements for the programme and your final award will then be confirmed. You have been awarded a degree and you can graduate.
