MRes students in the taught phase of their programme (who have yet to upgrade)
Pre-upgrade, MRes students are governed by the regulations for Masters programmes and you should read the advice above.
Which assessments are included in your email
Your January exam provisional marks email will include marks for in-person exams that took place between Monday 8 January and Friday 12 January, this includes both traditional hand-written exams and e-exams. Online assessments are not included, even if they were in the central exam timetable.
If you are taking resit or deferred exams for Masters level courses in January (i.e. as part of RDAP1) you will not receive provisional results for these courses. Results for RDAP1 assessments will be published on 14 March.
Deferred assessments and absences
If you deferred an exam then the word 'deferred' will appear next to the course. If you were absent from an exam then the word 'absent' will appear in the email. Visit re-entry for information about when you will sit these exams.
Missing marks
If a mark is not showing this means that it was not submitted in time to be released. You may wish to contact the department responsible for running the course to find out when they may be able to release the mark to you.
Please remember that only marks for in-person exams will show in this email. Provisional marks for other types of assessment may be available from the department that runs the course. Marks for RDAP1 assessments will not be included.
Banked marks
The email will show any marks that have been 'banked'. For example, if you passed a January exam in a course last year, but are re-sitting another assessment component in the same course this year, the January exam mark from last year will show on your email because it has been 'banked'.
If things have not gone to plan
Getting unexpected results can be a worrying experience. If you are finding these emotions difficult and you are concerned about their impact on your health or wellbeing we encourage you to contact your doctor or other heath services. Please check support during your studies for other possible sources of support.
If you have unexpectedly failed an exam, we understand that you may be worried about the implications of this. What happens next will depend on a number of factors such as whether there are other assessments in the course, how many attempts you have remaining and so on. Your supervisor, departmental staff of the PhD Adcademy will be able to guide you on what happens next.
You cannot appeal against provisional marks or request an administrative mark check for them. Visit Challenging Results to find information about how and when you can appeal or request an administrative markcheck.
