Subject Examination Boards (SEB)

Once all your assessments have been completed, there will be a Subject Examination Board (SEB) which will consider the provisional results in full. At this time the SEB will also consider any recommendations made by the Extenuating Circumstances Sub-Board and any previous related SEBs.

Degree Examination Board (DEB)

The SEB will report its provisional results and recommendations to the Degree Examination Board (DEB) who in turn will confirm the official final results. These will be available to both graduating and continuing students via MySIS shortly after the DEB has taken place (generally at the end of March, July and at the end of October). In addition, all graduating year students will receive an official transcript of results directly from the Academic Registry by post to the address held on MySIS. Please make sure your address on MySIS is up to date.

The marks are officially confirmed by the Degree Examination Board (DEB).
 
Note: there can be a slight delay with the issue of transcripts due to the sheer volume being processed at one time.
 
Any student in debt to the College at this time will not be permitted to receive their results.
 
The first Subject Examination Board (SEB) usually meets around June to consider results from both assessment periods (Semester 1: A25 and Semester 2: B25), along with marks for all coursework and exams. At this stage, recommendations from the first Extenuating Circumstances Board (EC) are also taken into account.
 
Final confirmation of marks takes place at the Degree Examination Board (DEB), held in July.

Official publication of results (see Publication of Results): This marks the start of the period during which appeals are permitted. Late summer resits and resubmissions of course essays/FAEs will be scheduled as required thereafter.


In October, the second SEB will meet to consider all results, including any Semester 3: C25 modules, resits, and dissertation marks, if applicable. At this time, they will also consider recommendations from the second Extenuating Circumstances (EC) Board.
The marks and classifications are then officially confirmed by the Degree Examination Board (DEB), which is held in October, when awards are made.
