Exit Awards

Candidates who fail to meet the requirements for the award of an honours degree may be eligible for an exit award where this has been approved at validation.  Arrangements may vary for Apprenticeship programmes, reflecting the different funding arrangements associated with the target awards of an apprenticeship.
 

If the award that that appears on ICON (your online student record) or statement of results is not your expected award there may be several reasons for this

  • Undergraduate students registered on a substantive award

    • Certificate in Higher Education (Cert HE): If you have been awarded this, you will have obtained a minimum of 120 credits (or over but less than 240 credits) but you may have have confirmed fails (shown as CF) in your profile that stop you from progressing further and obtaining your intended degree or award.
    • Diploma in Higher Education (Dip HE): If you have been this, you will have obtained 240 credits (or over but less than 300 credits) and have confirmed fails (shown as CF) in your profile that stop you from progressing further and obtaining your intended degree or award.

    If you have been awarded an exit award, you will be sent a certificate and transcript of results.
