Compensation is automatically applied if you have met the University criteria and once all modules at your current level have been attempted. If you have had compensation applied and you wish to reject this, you will need to take your compensated module(s) at the next available opportunity. Please refer to Regulations for Taught Programmes.
If you have been compensated, you will receive an Action Required progression status that will contain a link to a form. In order to reject compensation you will need to complete the form within 1 week of mark release. If you do not complete the form by the deadline, no arrangements will be made for you and compensation will remain on your module.
Late Summer Assessment Period (LSA)
It is important to note, that if you choose to reject compensation, this could result in you being course suspended next academic year. You would not be able to progress further in your programme until you have passed these assessments.
Postgraduate Students:
You may be eligible for compensation on one module, following your dissertation submission. You may also be able to trail a module as a 3rd attempt at the next available opportunity, subject to you having completed all other modules. Your eligibility for this will be confirmed to you after the next Board of Examiners.
All Final Year Undergraduate Students only (Semester 2 only):
It is important to note that if you choose to reject compensation, this will delay the timing of your award and therefore you will be unable to attend graduation in July.
Undergraduate Engineers (Start Date from September 2022):
Due to your Programme accreditation requirements, it is important to note that compensation will not automatically be applied. You will need to take any re-assessments at the next available opportunity. Although the module(s) meet the conditions for compensation under the A1 Regulations for Taught Programmes, the assessment has been deferred to the next available opportunity. This is in response to your programme's accrediting body, Engineering Council UK, change of rules regarding compensation. The new rules state that a maximum of 30 credits can be compensated in a Bachelors or Integrated Master's degree programme. If the 30-credit limit is exceeded during your programme, you will be given the option to be transferred to a non-accredited version of your programme.
