20.4. Examination Boards and Results

Your Results

Subject Examination Boards (SEB)

Once all assessments have been completed, your results will be reviewed by a Subject Examination Board (SEB). The SEB considers:

  • Provisional results for all modules
  • Recommendations from the Extenuating Circumstances Sub-Board
  • Any relevant decisions from previous SEBs

The SEB applies collective academic judgement to ensure fair and consistent outcomes for all students.

Degree Examination Board (DEB)

Following the review of provisional results by the Subject Examination Board (SEB), the Degree Examination Board (DEB) is responsible for confirming the official final results.

Results Publication

Final results will be made available to both graduating and continuing students via MySIS, shortly after the DEB has taken place. These boards are typically held at the end of:

  • March
  • July
  • October (only applicable to Management in Intellectual Property Law)

Transcripts for Graduating Students

Graduating students will receive an official transcript of results by post, sent to the address listed on MySIS.
Please ensure your MySIS address is accurate and up to date.

Note: Due to the high volume of transcripts being processed, there may be a slight delay in their delivery.

Important: Students with outstanding debts to the College will not be permitted to receive their results until the debt is cleared.

Subject Examination Board (SEB) Timeline

The first SEB typically meets in June to consider:

  • Results from Semester 1 (A25) and Semester 2 (B25)
  • All coursework and exam marks
  • Recommendations from the Extenuating Circumstances Board (EC)

These recommendations are then passed to the DEB for final confirmation.
