On 6 September 2023 the University and College Union (UCU) announced an end to the Marking and Assessment Boycott which has been in place since April.
This industrial action meant that some of our students did not receive all their marks at the end of the 2022-23 academic year.
All outstanding marking and assessment will be marked and the plan is to return missing marks as soon as they are received. In some cases, extraordinary exam boards will need to be convened and this means the process may take a little longer. The University’s aim is to have all missing marks returned by no later than the end of November.
You will be notified by email as soon as missing marks are returned for your programme so please continue to check your University email account.
For students who received interim awards July 2023, as soon as your profile of marks has been considered by an exam board and your award is confirmed, we will issue you with a digital copy of your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) via the Digitary CORE portal so that you will have official confirmation of your final award immediately. If your degree classification has changed since your initial interim award, we will issue you with a digital copy of your certificate via Digitary and send you a new certificate in the post, to the home address we hold in S3P. Please ensure we have a current home address for you by checking and updating your details on S3P.
