FAQs

Although we wouldn’t be able to provide you with your predicted grades, we would be able to print a module list for you to apply for a postgraduate studies and/or organization.

 

You can also use your HEAR transcript from the previous years (if you are an undegraduate student) to apply for a postgraduate degree and/or organization.  Please login to Digitary Core to view your HEAR transcript. If you don’t know how to login to get your HEAR please refer to Transcript section on the left side. 

 

You can use the module list to provide to your employer if needed.

 

To obtain your module list please contact us. Go to the contacts page to see our contact details.

Unfortunately, we wouldn’t be able to provide you with this type of letter. 

 

If you finished your current year or degree and require a transcript please refer to the Transcripts section from the FAQ menu. 

Unfortunately, we can’t provide you with an individual standalone letter stating your GPA. You can see your overall mark (which is your GPA) on the HEAR transcript under “overall classification”. You can use your HEAR transcript if you need it to provide it to the university and/or organization. 

 

Why can’t we provide a separate document? This is because we are prohibited from providing documents that are separate to official documents such as a HEAR transcript. Everything on the official documents is final. 

 

We can however confirm that your grade on the HEAR report is official and final via an email to the university and/or organization. You can ask the university and/ organization to get in touch directly with us. 

 

Apologies for any inconvenience. As an institution and a university, we need to follow regulations, procedures and policies to be fair and reliable to all of our students and members of staff.

We understand that facing a failed re-sit can be challenging. If you are a master’s student typically, there isn’t a second opportunity for re-sits as per regulations – Academic regulations and recognition of prior learning (dmu.ac.uk). However, there are exceptional cases where a second re-sit may be considered, especially in extenuating and serious circumstances.

 

If you have such circumstances, please email us explaining what has affected you and we will look into. Attach any relevant evidence in your email, such as medical records. 

 

For information on what qualifies as difficult circumstances, refer to the Difficult Circumstances section in the FAQs. Please note that these circumstances must have directly affected your ability to perform well in your studies. If they don’t affect your studies directly, we won’t consider those. Please note that we will always ask for evidence. Please note we can’t guarantee that your request will be considered even if your circumstances affected your studies as we don’t make that decision. The decision for majority of the time will be made by Associate Professor for Student Experience and/or Associate Dean Academic as well as other senior member of staff. 

 

If you didn’t have any extenuating circumstances your only options can be found below:

 

1. Academic appeal – If you disagree with your mark and feel that your mark/s  should be different, you would be welcome to submit an appeal through the academic support office – Appeals (dmu.ac.uk). You would need to do this within 15 working days of the official results being made available to you.

We would take your average percentage across your final year, and if this is in the highest band you would be eligible for the consideration band.

 

So if, for example, you achieved an overall mark of 68%, but your final year marks were:

 

  • Module 1 – 40%
  • Module 2 – 90%
  • Module 3 – 90%
  • Module 4 – 90%

Average over the final year – 77%

 

The average mark would be within the next classification band, so we would award you the higher grade.

 

Please see the breakdown below:

 

1.Final Year Average: 

 

You took four modules in your final year and got these grades: 

 

  • Module 1: 40%
  • Module 2: 90%
  • Module 3: 90%
  • Module 4: 90% 

 

To find your average grade for the final year, we add all these percentages together and then divide by the number of modules. So:

 

2.Checking for Higher Classification: 

 

Your overall average mark across all years of study is 68%.
We use classification bands to determine your degree classification (like First Class, Second Class, etc.). For example: 

  • First Class: 70% and above
  • Upper Second Class (2:1): 60% – 69%
  • Lower Second Class (2:2): 50% – 59%
  • Third Class: 40% – 49% 

3.Eligibility for a Higher Grade: 

 

  • If your final year average (77%) falls into a higher band than your overall average (68%), you can be considered for that higher classification.
  • In your case, 77% falls into the First Class band, which is higher than your overall average band (Upper Second Class).
  • So, even though your overall average is 68% (Upper Second Class), because your final year average is 77% (First Class), the university can consider awarding you a First Class degree. 

In short, your final year average of 77% is high enough to push you into the First Class band, which means you could get a First Class degree even if your overall average is a bit lower.

You can submit your assignment online, but you can’t take your exams online unless it’s an online test. If your re-sit is on campus you have to attend your re-sit on campus and can’t submit your exam online in any form.

 

If you have extenuating circumstances such as a medical condition please contact us and we will discuss your options, however we can’t guarantee that you will be allowed to take your re-sit online.
