What do these mean?
PS – means you have passed everything and you can progress to the next year
EX – means you have to resit or repeat subjects (modules)
FL – means you have failed and you are required to resit or repeat subjects (modules) DE – means you have deferred subjects or the programme
AB – means you did not attend for examination
WH – means you have something outstanding that must be completed, e.g. continuous assessment, project, practical or final exam.
How do I know if I have to repeat an exam?
If you have to repeat an exam you will see “exemptions granted”.

You will receive further notification regarding the repeats process during the academic year. Please ensure you have activated your college email account. It is your responsibility to ensure you are fully aware of your repeat requirements as the Institute will not be writing to you.
