Hello Student,

We are writing to give an update on the impact of industrial action, specifically the marking and assessment boycott (MAB). The commitment to ensure final-year students who are in good academic standing will graduate on time this summer remains in place, and we are committed to ensuring that continuing students can progress to the next year of study. 
 
The vast majority of students will be unaffected. For those in departments with action, sufficient marking has been, or will be, completed to provide a classification or result on results day for all courses. Academic standards and the integrity of a Warwick degree will be maintained.  
 
Students graduating in July

Using the long-standing regulations in place for when there is disruption to assessment, if, when Exam Boards meet, there is a small number of marks missing, degrees will be awarded based on existing marks. This will enable final-year students to graduate on time.  
 
It remains our intention that any outstanding marking will be completed, and students will be informed of those marks where they become available at the end of the industrial action. Students who have already graduated with a classified degree will only see their degree classification change if it improves as a result of a higher average year mark. No student's degree classification will go down as a result of any marks that are confirmed after graduation. 
 
Those of you who are due to graduate in July have recently been invited to register for your degree ceremony. If you have received an invitation, please go ahead and register as normal if you haven’t already done so. 

Postgraduate taught students

We are working with academic departments to provide guidance for postgraduate taught students completing their courses later in the year. More information will be shared over the coming weeks.

Continuing students  

For continuing students, the same long-standing regulations will be used by Exam Boards enabling you to move into the next year of study. It remains our intention that any outstanding marking will be completed, and students will be informed of those marks where they become available. 
 
We appreciate that it is an unsettling time. We thank you for your continued patience as we work through this and we will continue to make sure that our student community is informed and supported over the coming weeks.
