Results and resits

Transcripts are usually released twice a year – in July for the end of the academic year and in September for any resits in the August resit period. Some programmes will release results at different times.- check your course handbook for dates. The Transcript will confirm whether you are able to progress to the next year of study, whether you have completed your programme or if you still have assessments that need to be passed or completed.

If you have failed assessments it can be confusing as to how and if you are able to proceed. The advice below is for modular programmes of study. If your programme is non modular your course handbook will provide information about re-sit arrangements

July Transcript

Your July transcript will state whether you are required to sit assessments in the August resit period, repeat the year, or have completed your studies This could be because you are able to graduate or if the University has decided to award a subsidiary award.

Your will normally need to sit assessments in August if you have failed a module or if you deferred assessments because of extenuating circumstances.

If you have exceeded the amount of credits that you are able to resit in the August period you may be required to repeat the year.

September Transcript

Your September transcript will confirm whether you are able to progress to your next year of study, are able to graduate or if the University has decided to on a subsidiary award.

Subsidiary awards are given; If you have not achieved the minimum amount of credits to continue with your programme.

If you have exhausted the number of attempts at an assessment (usually 3 for Undergraduates and 2 for Postgraduates).

Resits and repeat assessments are normally capped unless they are deferred due to extenuating circumstances.

Transcripts can be difficult to understand. You will find useful information here.

You may appeal your results in certain circumstances. More information on this process can be found here.

Resits

You may be eligible to resit any failed assessments in the August resit period. There is a limit as to how many you are able to complete during this period – check with your academic school as the limit differs from programme to programme.

If you are not able to resit the assessment(s) in the August resit period you may be able to resit them in the new academic year but this may prevent you from starting the next level of your course. This is called Repeating a year.

More information can be found here.

Repeating the year as an internal student

Some programmes require you to repeat as an internal student especially in your have any practical assessments or group work. You will be required to attend lectures and seminars and fees will be payable.

You will only need to repeat the modules that you failed unless you are in a professional programme where you may be required to repeat all modules – your academic school will be able to advise further.

We strongly recommend that you seek advice from the Advice and Money Team regarding your Student Finance.

FAQs

What is the Secondary Rule?

When calculating your final award, your School should combine that average of the module marks (calculated as specified in the module regulations). Only modules that contribute to your final award should be included in this calculation.

Module marks should be weighted according to the classification rule for your programme, and the credit value of the modules should be calculated, rounded, and recorded as a whole number.

The Classification of Awards regulations are stipulated in the Academic Regulations Handbook. The Academic Regulations include a 'Secondary Rule', and if you are eligible for the Secondary Rule you may receive an award that is higher than you were anticipating.

Please note, the calculation and classification of your award should occur automatically. If you are concerned that the Secondary Rule has not been applied, then we would advise you to politely ask your School to confirm why this is the case.

The criteria for the Secondary Ruledepends on the level of study , but can be found in the University’s Academic Regulations here.

It is important to note that credits obtained during a Year of Experiential and/or Professional Learning, or a Year of Study Abroad do not contribute towards the Secondary Rule.

We appreciate this may seem confusing and we encourage you to reach out to your School if you need further clarity on the calculation of your final award.

What will happen to my Student Visa?

It should not affect your immigration status if you are an undergraduate student and are required to re-sit your exams during the summer resit period in August.

If you repeat the year as an external student you will no longer be attending lectures or classes so won’t be fulfilling the conditions of your student route visa.

If you repeat internally there a complex rules for visa compliance. You must check with the Student Visa Support Team on 02922 518 888 or at studentconnect@cardiff.ac.uk. More information can be found here.

If you have been withdrawn from study you will need to seek guidance from the Student Visa Support Team as soon as possible.

Will I have to pay Council Tax if I repeat the year?

If you are repeating your final year as an external student you will have to pay Council Tax.

If you are repeating as an internal student you will receive an exemption certificate.

More information can be found here.

Can I progress to my next year of study and carry an assessment?

If it is a compulsory module you will need to pass it before you are able to progress to your next year of study.

If there are too may failed credits you will need to repeat the year. Check your school’s progression rules for the credit limit that applies to your programme.

Unfortunately students cannot challenge or appeal progression.

I am required to withdraw from study - What can I do?

If your transcript states you are withdrawn from your programme, the only way in which you are able to re-engage with your programme would be to submit an academic appeal and for it to be upheld.

I can’t attend the resits in August – What should I do?

If you do not attend it will be considered a non submission or attendance and you are likely to be awarded a mark of zero.

You may wish to submit extenuating circumstances to request a deferral of the assessment to the next assessment period. However please note that this may trigger a requirement for you to repeat the year.

I’m repeating as an external student but I’ve signed a housing contract for next year, what can I do?

If you decide to leave Cardiff you will need to formally ask your Landlord to escape your tenancy agreement and end your rental liability. Contact Student Advice for more advice on this.

My School has said that I am to repeat internally/ externally – is this negotiable?

Your School will have a good reason for asking you to repeat the year in the mode that they have. It may be that they feel that it is in your best interest to attend the teaching, you may need to attend in person assessments or practical exams and group work.

It is ultimately your School’s decision as to how you are able to repeat the year but it is worth having a discussion with them to find a way forward or to understand why they have taken the decision.

Will my resits be capped?

All resits will be capped at the pass mark – 40 for Undergraduates and 50 for Postgraduates. You may appeal this decision. Please contact Student Advice for advice on this.

The exception to this is if you have deferred assessments to the resit period through the extenuating circumstances procedure - these assessment's should not be capped if you deferred your first attempt.

If I have to repeat the year what happens to my UK student finance?

You will need to seek advice from the University’s Advice and Money Team.

If I have resits can I start work on my Masters dissertation or project?

It is our understanding that you will need to have completed the Taught stage of your programme to be able to progress to the Dissertation stage. We recommend that you speak to your Academic School to get further guidance.

Do I have to pay fees for August Resits or for repeating a year of study?

You should not have to pay to resit assessments in the August resit period. If you are repeating a year either as an internal student, fees will be due and the Student Funding and Advice Team at the University will be able to confirm the exact amount, or contact the Fees team.

I don’t want to resit - What can I do?

If you have been awarded a Subsidiary Award you can decide not to resit any failed assessments and keep the award you should contact your School to find out what the award would be.

Canlyniadau ac ailsefyll

Mae trawsgrifiadau fel arfer yn cael eu rhyddhau dwywaith y flwyddyn - yng Ngorffennaf ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn academaidd ac ym mis Medi ar gyfer unrhyw ailsefyll yn ystod cyfnod ailsefyll Awst. Bydd rhai rhaglenni'n rhyddhau canlyniadau ar adegau gwahanol - gwiriwch lawlyfr eich cwrs am ddyddiadau. Bydd eich trawsgrifiad yn cadarnhau os allwch symud ymlaen at flwyddyn nesaf eich astudiaethau, os ydych wedi cwblhau eich rhaglen, neu os oes gennych asesiadau i'w pasio neu i'w cwblhau o hyd.

Os ydych wedi methu unrhyw asesiadau gall fod yn ddryslyd deall beth yw'r cam nesaf. Mae'r cyngor isod ar gyfer rhaglenni modiwlaidd. Os ydych ar raglen an-fodiwlaidd bydd eich llawlyfr cwrs yn cynnwys gwybodaeth am ailsefyll.

Trawsgrifiad Gorffennaf

Bydd trawsgrifiad Gorffennaf yn datgan os fydd angen i chi sefyll unrhyw asesiadau yng nghyfnod ailsefyll Awst, ailsefyll blwyddyn, neu os ydych wedi cwblhau eich astudiaethau. Gall hyn fod oherwydd byddwch yn graddio neu fod y Brifysgol wedi penderfynu rhoi dyfarniad atodol i chi.

Bydd fel arfer angen i chi sefyll asesiadau yn Awst os ydych wedi methu modiwl neu wedi gohirio asesiad oherwydd amgylchiadau esgusodol.

Os oes angen i chi ailsefyll mwy o gredydau ym mis Awst na'r swm derbyniol arferol, efallai y bydd angen i chi ailsefyll y flwyddyn gyfan.

Trawsgrifiad Medi

Bydd trawsgrifiad Medi yn cadarnhau os gewch symud ymlaen at eich blwyddyn nesaf o astudio, os gewch raddio, neu os yw'r Brifysgol wedi penderfynu ar ddyfarniad atodol.

Mae dyfarniadau atodol yn cael eu rhoi;

Os nad ydych wedi cyflawni'r isafswm o gredydau er mwyn parhau gyda'ch rhaglen, neu;

Os ydych wedi defnyddio eich holl geisiadau ar gyfer asesiad (fel arfer 3 ar gyfer Israddedigion a 2 ar gyfer Ôl-raddedigion).

Mae asesiadau ailsefyll fel arfer wedi'u capio oni bai eich bod wedi gohirio gydag amgylchiadau esgusodol.

Gall trawsgrifiadau fod yn anodd eu deall. Gallwch ganfod gwybodaeth ddefnyddiol yma.

Gallwch apelio eich canlyniadau mewn amodau penodol. Gellir canfod rhagor o wybodaeth am y broses hon yma.

Ailsefyll

Gallwch fod yn gymwys i ailsefyll unrhyw asesiad rydych wedi'i fethu yng nghyfnod ailsefyll Awst. Mae cyfyngiad ar faint o asesiadau gallwch ailsefyll yn ystod y cyfnod hwn - gwiriwch gyda'ch ysgol academaidd gan fod y cyfyngiad yn amrywio o raglen i raglen.

Os na allwch ailsefyll yr asesiad(au) yng nghyfnod ailsefyll Awst efallai gallwch eu hailsefyll ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn academaidd newydd ond efallai gall hyn eich atal rhag dechrau ar lefel nesaf eich cwrs. Dyma fyddai ailsefyll blwyddyn.

Gellir canfod mwy o wybodaeth yma.

Ailadrodd y flwyddyn fel myfyriwr mewnol

Bydd rhai rhaglenni yn gofyn i chi ailadrodd fel myfyriwr mewnol yn enwedig os oes gennych unrhyw asesiadau ymarferol neu waith grŵp. Bydd angen i chi fynychu darlithoedd a seminarau, a bydd ffioedd yn daladwy.

Bydd dim ond angen i chi ailadrodd y modiwlau gwnaethoch fethu, oni bai eich bod ar raglen broffesiynol wedyn efallai y bydd rhaid ailsefyll yr holl fodiwlau - gall eich ysgol academaidd eich cynghori'n bellach.

Rydw i wedi cael fy nhynnu allan o fy astudiaethau - Beth allaf wneud?

Os yw eich trawsgrifiad yn datgan eich bod wedi eich tynnu o'ch rhaglen, yr unig ffordd o ailgysylltu gyda'ch rhaglen yw trwy gyflwyno apêl academaidd a'i chael wedi'i chymeradwyo.

Ni allaf fynychu sesiynau ailsefyll yn Awst - Beth ddylen ei wneud?

Os na allwch fynychu bydd wedi'i nodi eich bod wedi methu a chyflwyno neu fod yn bresennol, a byddwch yn derbyn marc o sero.

Efallai hoffech gyflwyno amgylchiadau esgusodol er mwyn gwneud cais i ohirio asesiad tan y cyfnod asesu nesaf. Ond nodwch, gallai hyn olygu bod yn rhaid i chi ailsefyll y flwyddyn.

Yr eithriad i hyn yw os wnaethoch ohirio asesiad i'r cyfnod ailsefyll trwy'r weithdrefn amgylchiadau esgusodol - ni ddylai'r asesiadau yma gael eu capio os wnaethoch ohirio eich cynnig cyntaf.

Os oes rhaid i mi ailsefyll blwyddyn beth fydd yn digwydd i fy nghyllid myfyriwr DU?

Bydd angen i chi ofyn am gyngor gan Dîm Cyngor a Chyllid y Brifysgol.
