Before making any decision, it is important that you understand the implications of rejecting a derived mark or part-for-whole outcome.
If you reject the outcome offered:
You cannot return to accept any derived mark or part for whole outcomes once rejected, regardless of what the true mark(s) does to the overall outcome.
Your degree award or progression decision will be delayed. At this time we cannot confirm the length of delay, but we will provide an update on this as soon as we are able to.
If you are a finalist you will not be awarded your degree in July. We will continue to confer awards every month, so once you have final results your award will be conferred, your digital document will be uploaded and a hard copy sent to your recorded home address. You can still attend your graduation ceremony if you have registered.
We have our contingency regulations in place, which means that you can continue to your next level of study if you have successfully completed 80 credits of study, and are awaiting marks for the remaining credits (subject to confirmation from you school examination board). If you are waiting for marks/ have failure in more than 40 credits of study, you may not be able to progress into the next academic year which will extend the duration of your studies.
In relation to the above there may be financial and/or visa implications which you should consider prior to making your decision.
There is no guarantee that your eventual outcome will be higher than the one currently available.
