Visiting undergraduate student Resit/Null Sit process

Guidance on how visiting undergraduate student records with Resits or Null Sits are managed.

A key change to the taught assessment regulations for Academic Year 2019/0 allows visiting undergraduate students two assessment opportunities for each course.

In anticipation that this change will result in a significant increase in visiting undergraduates undertaking resits, the Student Records Team has designed a process for managing these records, in consultation with Schools, the Visiting Student Office, and teams within Student Systems & Administration.

 

Details of the process can be found below:

  • At the undergraduate course result publication deadlines (see Key Dates page), Student Records Team will run a report to identify any visiting undergraduate students with a Resit record or a Null Sit course result.
  • Within a week following the course result publication deadline, Student Records Team will apply a flag to these students and add an extension to their EUCLID records to cover the period between their programme end date and the August resit exam diet. 
  • Within a week following the course result publication deadline, Student Records Team will close the EUCLID records as 'Successfully Completed' for visiting undergraduate students with no Resit records or Null Sit course results, and Student Information Point will send out the transcripts for these students.
  • Prior to the August Resit diet, Schools will confirm Resit arrangements with students. 
    • PLEASE NOTE: If a student is returning to the UK to complete a Resit and has visa requirements, the School must inform Immigration Services of the arrangement.
  • Within a week following the end of the August Resit diet, Student Records Team will run a report against the above mentioned flag and close the EUCLID records as 'Successfully Completed, and Student Information Point will then send out any the transcripts.

     

  • Additional information for Student Systems & Administration teams: the flag applied to the students is RFT code VS, VUG RESIT, Visiting undergraduate student undertaking resit
