Progression information for level 1 and 2 students

The University uses a 0-100 numerical marking scale, which will sometimes also include letters applied against marks.

To help you understand all of the numbers and letters you may see on your results, please read the University Explanation of Marks page

You apply for a resit online via the Results and re-sit Application page on Minerva using your university username and password.

You can do this from the beginning of July 2024.

You must apply for any module which has any assessment you want to resit, by selecting ‘Yes’ next to the modules that you have failed and are eligible to re-sit.

Undergraduate Finalist Students

Undergraduate Finalists will be able to apply online from 12:00 noon Monday 8th July.

The deadline for applications is 12:00 noon Friday 12th July 2024.

After this deadline has passed, if you are eligible for an award and have not applied to resit, you will be deemed to have accepted the award.

Undergraduate Non-finalist Students

Undergraduate non-finalists will be able to apply online from 12:00 noon Monday 8th July 2024.

The deadline for applications is 5pm Wednesday 17th July 2024.

Postgraduate Students

Postgraduates will be able to apply online from 12:00 noon Monday 8th July 2024.

The deadline for applications is 5pm Wednesday 17th July 2024.

From the 2023/2024 session resit fees will no longer be charged.

Students are required to pay any resit fees charged before the 2023/2024 session.

Any fees for resits that took place in 2023 are valid, as these resits will have taken place in the 2022/2023 session.

The August Resit period will run from 13 to 23 August 2024 (including Saturday 17 August 2024).

The August resit timetable is due to be published from 29th July 2024.

It is not possible to find out the exact date of an assessment before you apply to re-sit and therefore you need to make yourself available throughout this period.

Once the timetable has been published, you will be able to view your personal assessment timetable via Minerva - see the Assessment Timetable publication dates webpage.

After you have applied you need to check you have been entered for the appropriate exams, and inform the Assessment & Progress Team immediately about any discrepancies.

If your original examination was an on-campus exam, you will need to be on-campus for the resit examination.

You must decide if you want to resit the module you have failed.

All marks will be shown on your transcript, but your final degree classification will be calculated based on your level 2 and level 3 marks.

This means you have not met the criteria to enable you to progress to the next level of your programme.

You may not have passed enough credits, or you may not have passed a pass for progression (pfp) module.

You will need to apply for and resit one or more modules to a pass standard in the August resit period to be able to progress to the next level of study.

You may need to resit to progress because although you passed 100 credits, you have not obtained 100 credits at your level of study.

This can happen if some of the modules you have passed are below your level of study. For example: If you are currently in Year 2 then you are required to have completed 100 Level 2 credits

Alternatively, you may have failed one or more pass for progression modules (PFPS). Please check the University Module and Programme Catalogue for your programme to see which are pass for progression modules.

The deadline to apply to take your resit abroad is Wednesday 17th July 2024

Eligibility

You may be eligible to sit your re-sit (or approved further first attempt) assessment abroad if:

• • Your home address is outside of the UK and the assessments are taken in your home country.
  • You are working or studying abroad as part of your programme.
  • You are studying here as an exchange student and returning home. If you live outside the UK, you must apply to resit in your home country. The assessment must be suitable to be taken outside the University and a suitable assessment environment must be available (e.g. British Council; home university).

Please refer to the Taking assessments abroad webpage for more information.

This means that your mark has not yet been returned.

You will be contacted as soon as this is ready for you.

Yes, you can appeal if you have a valid reason to appeal and can support with appropriate evidence.

Information on accepted reasons and how to submit  an appeal accepted can be found on the Academic Appeals webpage.

If you are considering appealing, please read the procedure in full before submitting your appeal.

You can seek independent advice and support from the Leeds University Union Help and Support team.

They can be contacted via:

• Email: advice@luu.leeds.ac.uk
• Phone: 0113 3801 400

After the deadline to apply has passed, if you still wish to resit, you must contact LUBSAssessment@leeds.ac.uk.

The acceptance of a late resit application depends on whether the module resit assessment is available in August.

Undergraduate and postgraduate students – changes from LUBS to another academic school

If you wish to transfer to a programme outside of LUBS, then your request must be considered by the school that manages the programme that you wish to transfer to.

Please complete this Initial Enquiry Form, which will enable the new Parent School to consider your request. If the new Parent School agrees to the transfer in principle, then they will be able to advise you on how you can formalise the transfer and any additional next steps.

For further information on programme transfers, please read the information on the Transfer to a New Programme page.

Undergraduate students – programme changes within LUBS

All programme changes will be subject to capacity in the receiving programme, and students will be expected to meet the full academic requirements of the new programme.

Please submit an Initial Enquiry Form.

Once you have submitted your form, the Faculty/School of Business will investigate the options available, and will aim to provide you with guidance on the next steps in due course. Please be patient while we consider your request.

If a transfer is possible, you will receive in principle approval with details of the options available to you. Once you have gathered all the relevant information and decided on your options, you can submit a formal request to change programme, as advised by the team.

Please note, the School is required to work to set deadlines throughout the academic year, and therefore in some cases we may be unable to consider a transfer request. Please contact the team with details of your request at your earliest convenience, and they will be able to advise.

For further information on programme transfers, please read the information on the Transfer to a New Programme page.

For postgraduate taught students, engagement and attendance is monitored during the dissertation period, and students are required to stay in Leeds until the programme completion date.

If you are requesting to be absent from campus/the UK to complete your dissertation in your home country, unfortunately this type of absence is not permitted by the UKVI under the conditions of your Student Visa. Leaving Leeds early may have implications on your current Student Visa, as well as applying for a Graduate Visa.

Please read the Remote Study and Your Student Visa page for additional information on how your immigration status may be affected.

If you feel that you have a valid reason as to why you need to leave the UK, please contact the team at LUBSQuality@leeds.ac.uk to discuss your circumstances, and they will be able to advise you further.

Yes.

Even if you have resits you need to take, you are still able to attend your graduation celebration as planned.

More information about graduation can be found on the University Graduation page.

All information about how and when you will receive your degree certificate and/or transcript can be found on the University Degree Certificates page
