Transcripts and Degree Classifications

We often have queries from students asking what the codes on transcripts mean. Usually an explanation sheet is included when the transcript is sent out but if it has not been included and you are not sure what it means the linked document below which explains the codes will be Transcript Codes

We also have lots of queries from students asking how a final degree classification is reached. There are lots of academic factors that can affect a final degree classification, for example there are sometimes programme specific regulations that have to be taken into account , but an explanation of the process can be found within the MCS Regulations that can be found on the Docushare section of the University website.
