Exam results and decision codes
Receiving feedback and marks before the official publication dates
One of our commitments in our Student Charter is that we will normally provide you with formal feedback on assessments within three working weeks of the final submission deadline, or we will explain why this isn’t possible.
Please note that any marks you receive as part of that feedback or by accessing results on your moodle page are indicative only.The result will move from an indicative to a final one only available after the Programme Assessment Board have met and ratified the marks. You will be advised of results when they become available after the Programme Assessment Board through the My Results tab on eVision.
Receiving your official marks on publication dates
Your official programme and module results can be viewed on your eStudent Records. When your module results are published they will be accompanied by decision codes.
Please note that if you are a student who has reassessment(s) to complete the option modules presented to you will be based on the presumption that you will be successful in the reassessment(s).
If in the event you are not successful in your reassessment(s) this is likely to impact on the module selection available to you and therefore the modules you have been enrolled on. At results publication please check your My Napier page for the Programme Assessment Board decision.
