Change effective from:
2017/18
Summary of change
In 2017/18, compensation will be applied to a student profile at the Semester 2 Boards (for standard courses), i.e. once an initial attempt has been made at all modules on the level. Previously, compensation was applied at the Resit Board after the reassessment opportunity.
What’s different?
- There will be fewer reassessments to provide a brief for and to mark over the summer period.
- There will be fewer student results to consider at Resit Assessment Boards.
- More students will see a confirmed progression decision in June rather than in September.
- A 20 credit referral at a Semester 1 Board may subsequently become a compensated pass at the Semester 2 Board.
