The Board of Examiners is responsible for:
• reviewing the students’ entire profile of module results
• making decisions regarding progression

• conferring awards and if appropriate agreeing the classification of each student
All grades are provisional until they have been considered and confirmed by the Scheme Board of Examiners.

You have achieved at least 90 credits at your current level and therefore the Board of Examiners has permitted you to move to the next level of your course.
