You will be sent an email to your university email address containing your overall result and module results. 

Your results are also released on RISIS. You can view your submodular results by going to Information>Programmes and Modules>Submodular marks report. 

A copy of your results email is held on the web portal, under Information>Exam Info. 

If you are not clear what your results mean you should speak with your Academic Tutor or contact key members of staff in your School/Dept. They can help guide you and discuss what you can do if you have any concerns about your results. You can also talk to your Academic Tutor with any queries about individual marks or modules. 

Reading Students' Union Advice Service is also available for free and confidential academic advice. 

A Failed progression outcome means that you have not met the University Wide Threshold progression rules and must be reassessed in at least one module to be able to successfully progress onto the next Part of your degree. 

A Not-Qualified progression outcome means that you have met the University Wide Threshold progression rules, but you have NOT met the progression requirements of your specific degree programme. This is because for some degree programmes you may need to get 40% in a specific module, for example. If your result is Not Qualified you will need to be reassessed in at least one module in order to progress onto the next Part of your current degree programme. You may be eligible to transfer to a different degree programme and, therefore, not need to take any reassessments. If you want to know more about your transfer options you should contact your Student Support Co-ordinator (or the HBS School Office/ISLI Helpdesk as appropriate) as soon as possible.

You can view the progression requirements of your degree programme on the Programme Specification webpages. 

For more details on the University Wide Threshold Requirements and the rules associated with progression please see Section 15 of the Assessment Handbook. 

Although you may have met the standard pass mark for modules (normally 40% for undergraduate students and 50% for postgraduate modules), your degree programme may require a higher pass mark for either a module as a whole, or for a submodular piece of assessment. This is normally due to accreditation requirements by a Professional, Regulatory or Statutory Body. 

You can view the specific requirements of your degree programme on the Programme Specification webpages or on the Module Description webpages. You can also talk to either your Academic Tutor or your Programme Director for further information.  

A result of No Recommendation means that you have an outstanding tuition fee debt of more than £50 and are therefore not eligible to receive your overall result. You are also not eligible to undertake reassessments until your debt is cleared. Once the debt is cleared the Exams Team will release your results. If relevant you will also be offered your reassessments, but only if you have cleared your tuition fee debt within 18 months of the end of your degree programme. If you have any enquiries about outstanding tuition fee debt please email studentcreditcontrol@reading.ac.uk in the first instance. 

Normally where your overall result is Result Not Yet Available this is because at least one of your submodular marks is missing. This may be due to an extension, a delay in marking or outstanding academic misconduct. When the missing mark is sent from your School/Department to the Exams Team your result will be calculated and a new results email will be sent to you via email. 

If you have failed at the second and final attempt of your degree programme, you will normally be required to leave the University. We would recommend you talk to your Academic Tutor about any other options available to you, including the Post-Results Exceptional Circumstances (PREC).

If you have failed at second attempt, you are able to seek advise and support from the University’s Careers Team. You can contact them by email (careers@reading.ac.uk) or by telephone (0118 378 8359). They are open throughout the year and are offering appointments via Skype and telephone as well as in person. Appointments are free of charge and confidential, and you can access the service for up to a year after you leave the University of Reading. More details about the Careers Team can be found on Essentials. 

In line with the University credit and qualifications framework, if you are eligible for an award based on the credits you have achieved, we will process this award in due course.  

This means that you have failed overall for the degree programme you have been studying but you are eligible to receive a lesser award, such as a Postgraduate Certificate or a Postgraduate Diploma. If you are entitled to undertake any reassessments for modules you have failed, you can choose to either do those reassessments or accept your lesser award. If you are eligible to undertake reassessments, the Exams Team will write to you so you can select what you would like to be reassessed in. If you have failed at final attempt, your lesser award will processed in due course.  

For undergraduate students a degree result of Pass is a non-honours outcome for an undergraduate bachelor’s degree. The result of Pass is your classification. It is your overall result for the degree. Other examples of classifications are First Class honours, Third Class Honours. 

Students who receive a classification of Pass are entitled to be reassessed in any module they have failed in the final Part of their degree. Students have the option either to graduate with a Pass degree or to be reassessed. If you have a classification of Pass, the Exams Team will email you to ask you to choose your reassessments.

If a student completes their reassessments, these new marks will be used to recalculate the degree classification. It may be possible for a student to improve their marks so that their classification is at honours level (e.g. Third Class honours or higher). The resit module mark will be capped at 40% for the purpose of calculating degree classification but the full mark achieved will appear on your transcript. 

Please note that passing your degree (e.g. achieving the required pass mark for modules and your overall degree) is not the same as a classification of Pass. The information above only relates to students where their classification is Pass.  

Please note the information above does not apply to postgraduate students who have a degree outcome of Pass. Separate rules apply to students on taught postgraduate degrees. 

If your resit mark is lower than your first attempt mark then it is the first attempt mark that will be used. 

Your resit mark will be capped at the pass mark only when calculating your award classification. The mark you achieved for your resit will be shown on your transcript uncapped.

If you are an undergraduate and unable to complete your qualification you may be eligible for a lesser award. These are a Certificate of Higher Education which you may be eligible to receive if you have passed your Part 1 and a Diploma of Higher Education which you may be able to receive if you have passed Part 2. For more information please check your Programme Specifications or with your department. If you are a Postgraduate student and you have not achieved the grade to pass your qualification you may be eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate if you have completed 60 credits or Postgraduate Diploma if you have completed 120 credits. For further information please check your Programme Specifications or with your department. 

This is a specific type of Assessment Adjustments provision that supports students who believe that their performance in centrally timetabled examinations has been affected by an exceptional circumstance during either the main examination period or resit period, or if they have missed one or more examinations.
