You can access final results in Student LfY. Head to the My assessments section and then the Final Results tab. You can view results on a computer, tablet or mobile device.
The information on the screen should be intuitive and self-explanatory. However, the sections below will help you understand what the numbers, letters and symbols on the final mean. There is also information about Exceptional Circumstances, Appeals and Administrative Mark Checks.
If you haven't received the results you were hoping for, there is lots of support available; check our advice and support page to find out what you can do next.
Blocked results
Results for some students are blocked. Where this is the case the screen will note that your results cannot be viewed, explain why and tell you how to get further support.
How do I see marks for individual assessments?
If you are using a larger screen you can access individual assessment marks by clicking the 'Show Assessments' button to the right hand side. You can hide assessment level marks in the same way. On a mobile device the button appears as a down / up chevron.
Overall Marks and Grades
For each course, in each year, there will be an overall mark and grade. The 2025/6 results will be based on the marks you achieved in RDAP1 (plus any banked marks from earlier assessment periods). You can interpret the grades using the list below:
D = Distinction [70-100%]
M = Merit [60-69%]
P = Pass [50-59%]
F = Fail [(x+1)-49%]
FB = Bad Fail [0 - x]
Check the bad fail threshold list to establish what x is for each of your courses.
Deferred assessments
If you have deferred an assessment then it will show with a status of Deferred.
The overall course result will also indicate that at least one assessment has been deferred. Visit when will I take my deferred assessment to find out when you will sit deferred assessments.
Absences
If you were absent from an assessment then it will show with a status of Absent. The overall mark for the course will also be set at zero.
If you were absent from all the assessments in the course it will show with a grade of Absent. If you were absent from at least one component of assessment but have completed others the course will have a grade of Incomplete.
Why do some courses appear twice and what are banked marks?
Because RDAP1 falls during a new academic year we re-enter you for any courses where your taking assessments in RDAP1. This means that on the first view of your results you'll see 2025/6 entries for courses where you were assessed in RDAP1. You'll be able to see your courses from previous years lower down the screen.
The 2025/26 results will show all assessments within that course. They'll show results from RDAP1 this year and also any banked marks from previous years. For example, if you passed an exam in a course last year, but were re-sitting the essay in RDAP1, the mark for the exam from last year will have been banked and will show again for 2025/26. The mark for the essay will be new. They will then be combined to give you a new course level result.
If you'd like to see your results on a course by course basis, rather than split by year, click on the 'View by Course' button at the top of the screen. This will combine all the results for each course together, even if they were taken in different years. Do remember that banked marks will show so some marks appear duplicated.
Exceptional Circumstances
If you have submitted Exceptional Circumstances, you should have received, or will shortly receive an email from either your Department or the Student Regulations Team informing you of the Exam Board’s Decision.
