Adjusting for special circumstances

You can edit the the progression/award information to make adjustments for special circumstances. Remember to leave internal notes about your actions.

Change to course marks or grades

If you need to change course marks or grades due to special circumstances, please make these changes in the Assessment Hub first. If these changes will affect the progression decision, you will need to return to Progression & Awards to calculate or edit the progression decision.

Change a progression decision or award information

If you need to edit the progression decision or award information due to special circumstances, access the individual progression record and edit the details from there. You can find guidance on the following pages:

You should document the changes you've made and the reasons why in the "Internal Notes" field in the individual student's progression record. These notes will appear on the Progression & Awards BI Report.

Exclude a course from award calculations

If you need to exclude a course from the award calculations entirely, you can do this in the individual progression record under the selection status:

  1. Click the Edit button on the end of the student's progression line to access their individual record
  2. Click the "Course marks profile" tab
  3. For the course you want to exclude, click the selection status (a blue link under the Selection status column)
    • This will open the "Change enrolment details" pop up box
  4. Tick the box "I want to disregard this course from the award calculations"
  5. Save changes

The selection status will now change to "Excluded due to Special Circumstances" for this course.
