Section outline

  • 1. Exam results:

    All exam results are processed and published by your School. If you have concerns about your grade, the first step is to discuss it with the Module Organiser, who can provide clarification on the mark. You can also reach out to the SEMS Office to perform clerical checks to ensure that there have been no errors in the inputting of marks.

    Please note that examination results cannot be given over the phone. Please contact us via email at sems-office@qmul.ac.uk for queries regarding exam results.

    Please see below for important assessment, progression and awards information about your programme, including your assessment results and the support available to you. Please select the academic year which is relevant to your current studies and results.

    2. Further attempts:

    Please note that every student has a maximum of two attempts at a module: a first attempt and one resit attempt.

    If you do not pass your module on the first attempt, you will have the opportunity for a resit at the next available session (typically in August for January and May exams). More details can be obtained from your School.

    If Extenuating Circumstances are approved, your School Office will provide guidance on the timing of your next exam attempt.

    3. Feedback:
    Upon the release of marks, students are entitled to feedback. The first course of action should be for students to refer to the module page for initial feedback. If students seek more detailed feedback, they can contact the Module Organiser directly. In case of any issues accessing feedback, students are encouraged to reach out to the SEMS office for assistance.

    4. Appeals: 

    As mentioned above, if you have concerns about your grade, the first step is to discuss it with the Module Organiser, who can provide clarification on the mark. You can also reach out to the SEMS Office to perform clerical checks to ensure that there have been no errors in the inputting of marks.

    If, after taking these steps, you still have concerns about procedural errors, you may appeal, but please note that appeals can only be lodged after the official release of results. More information on the appeals process can be found here - Appeals - Directorate of Governance and Legal Services (qmul.ac.uk).

    We advise that you review what constitutes valid grounds for appeal. It's important to note that appealing academic judgment alone is not considered valid grounds for appeal.
