What do the codes next to my module grade mean?
On viewing your module results on UEL Direct if you scroll further down on the page there is a key code for all the acronyms used.
How are award classifications made?
Foundation
Where you are eligible for a Foundation degree, the award classification is determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of all marks and applying the mark obtained as a percentage, with all decimal points rounded up to the nearest whole number, to the following classification:
|
70% - 100% |
Distinction |
|
55% - 69% |
Merit |
|
40% - 54% |
Pass |

Undergraduate
Where you are eligible for an Honours degree, and have gained a minimum of 240 UEL credits at level 2 or level 3 on the programme, including a minimum of 120 UEL credits at level 3, the award classification is determined by calculating:
|
The arithmetic mean of the best 100 credits at level 3 |
x |
2/3 |
+ |
The arithmetic mean of the next best 100 credits at levels 2 and/or 3 |
x |
1/3 |
Applying the mark obtained as a percentage, with all decimals points rounded up to the nearest whole number, to the following classification:

Distinction |
|
60% - 69% |

My module mark is above threshold but I have not passed the module, why?
It may mean that you have not passed a component within that module please check your module results via UEL Direct where a break down is given on each component passed within each module.
What are the threshold marks for modules / components?
The lowest mark allowed in a component for module to be passed. Generally set at 30% except where there are Professional and Statutory Regulatory Body requirements (this will be specified in the module specification)
In order to pass a module on reassessment a student must both achieve an aggregate mark of 40% and achieve the component threshold marks.
What happens if I fail a module at my first attempt?
All students are allowed 4 opportunities on a module in order to pass; after the first attempt you are capped meaning you will only receive a pass mark (40%). It’s important that you pass all you modules especially the core modules. You will need to pay for your 1st and 3rd opportunity. Opportunities will be counted as such even if you do not submit or attend the exams. If you do not pass a core module after 4 attempts you will be withdrawn from your programme.
