Subject Examination Boards (SEB)

Once all your assessments have been completed, the Subject Examination Board (SEB) will consider your provisional results in full. The SEB will also take into account any recommendations made by the Extenuating Circumstances Panel and any relevant decisions from previous SEBs.

Degree Examination Board (DEB)

The SEB reports its provisional results and recommendations to the Degree Examination Board (DEB), which confirms the official final results, classifications, and awards.

Results are normally made available to both graduating and continuing students via MySIS shortly after the DEB has taken place.
