Your results email

July 2023

Marks and grades in the final results email have been ratified by the relevant Exam Board.

Most results emails were sent to students on Friday 14 July 2023. Some students may receive emails after this if their marks were previously delayed by the Marking and Assessment boycott. 

Expand the relevant section to access information that will help you understand what the numbers, letters and symbols in your results email mean.

Assessment marks with an asterisk(*)

If an asterisk(*) shows against an assessment this means that you have a confirmed deferral in place for that assessment.

Grades show against courses. You can interpret them using the list below:

1 = First class [70-100%]
2A = Upper Second class [60-69%]
2B = Lower Second class [50-59%]
3 = Third [40-49%]
F = Fail [0-39%]
NA = At least one component of assessment has been deferred
AB = Absent from all components of assessment
I = Incomplete (i.e. you were absent from at least one component of assessment)

Missing Results

Courses where one or more assessment mark has been delayed by the marking and assessment boycott will not show on your final results email at all. If a course is missing from the table then at least one mark from that course has been delayed. We are unable to give further detail about missing marks at this stage. Please check publication of results for more information about what will happen next.

A = 70% - 74%
A- = 65% - 69%

AB = Absent from all components of assessment
I = Incomplete (i.e. you were absent from at least one component of assessment)

Class Grades

Class grades show at the bottom of the list of assessments for a given course. There is no numerical mark for class grades, just a letter grade. You can interpret them using the list below:

A+ = 75%+
A = 70% - 74%
A- = 65% - 69%
B+ = 60% - 64%
B = 55% - 59%
B- 50% - 54%
C+ = 45% - 49%
C = 40% - 44%
F = Fail, 0% - 39%
