Hello, this short video will provide you with all the key information you need with regards to results release 2021.
The University of Liverpool results portal will open at 9am on Monday, 5 July. You can find details about all major results publishing dates on our results webpage you can see on screen. The new results portal on the Student Intranet was introduced last year to provide easier access to results and to replace the results email system. Please remember we are no longer issuing results emails – you will need to log in to view your results.
To access your results please visit the student intranet. You will need to enter your University MWS username and password. Under Quick Links on the left-hand side, you will see a link entitled Exam Results.
Once you have successfully logged into the system you will see a page of data which includes your student information, as well as your available marks for this academic year.
In the right-hand column is your student information. This shows your name, student ID number, year of study and major code. If you are a continuing student you will also see your overall result for the academic year which will either show:
- PASS (as displayed in this example) which means you have passed the academic year
- RESIT which means you have failed one or more modules
- UNKNOWN This means that your progression is not clear based on your results and you will need to contact your school for further information
- FAIL This means you have failed the year overall
In this second example the student is a final year student.
If you are a final year student your overall result will not be displayed. Instead you will find your awarded degree, in this example the student has achieved a Class Two Division One degree.
The data in your results portal, including overall module marks, as well as the individual components of each module are available in the main section of the results portal.
The table lists your module and component codes as well as the module and component titles which describe the format the assessment took, for example coursework. It also shows in brackets the weighted percentage value of the component. For example, if the coursework component of your module is worth 50%.
Moving along the line to the right, you will find your mark as a percentage for the module overall, as well as your marks for each individual component of that module. You will also see your result which may be ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. The final column details any absence codes which apply where, for example, you have accepted additional extenuating circumstances, beyond those applied automatically for all students as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and industrial action.
As you may be aware, members of the University and College Union have been asked to participate in a marking and assessment boycott as part of ongoing industrial action.
We believe only a minority of staff are undertaking the assessment and marking boycott so we still expect most work to be marked on time. Anything that is not marked in time for the main results release on Monday, 5 July will ultimately get marked and moderated, but the results may be delayed in being released to you.
If you have completed an assignment but your mark has not been submitted for a particular component as a result of industrial action it will initially display within the results portal as a mark of ‘0’ or simply blank. The overall module will also be listed as ‘fail’. You can be reassured that this is not your final mark and the portal will be updated when your marks have been received from your school.
Similarly, your overall result of PASS, RESIT, UNKNOWN or FAIL should be treated as provisional and subject to change until all your moderated marks have been received.
This is different to a component with accepted Extenuating Circumstances or agreed absences which will display as ‘0’ and ‘fail’ but will also have an absence code next to it stating ‘absent’ or ‘absent extenuating circumstances’.
If you have a normal mark of ‘0’ as a result of late penalties, academic integrity issues or an assessment not completed, your module may display ‘0’ and ‘fail’ but you will have already been made aware of this outcome by your school to discuss next steps.
If you have marks missing as a result of industrial action you will receive a notification email when additional marks are available to view in your results portal. Please be assured that no student will ultimately be left with an incomplete Higher Education Achievement Report. You will, in due course, receive all of your moderated marks to take forward to your next academic year.
If you are a final year student, your classification will not be changed until all marks have been received. At that point, if your classification has increased, based on your marks and the criteria set out in the Code of Practice on Assessment you will be awarded the higher classification and will receive a new certificate and Higher Education Achievement Report to reflect that. It is important to note that if your classification has decreased once all marks are received, the higher classification will remain in place, providing that modules have been passed and learning outcomes achieved.
Please make sure you visit the results webpages detailed here to view further information and detailed FAQs about this year’s results release and the marking boycott.
Any student who needs support to explain an initial degree certificate or Higher Education Achievement Report to an employer or education provider will be provided with a supporting document which outlines the situation. You will be able to contact your School to organise this.
It is important to make sure you read all of the information available before you contact your school with further queries. This will help to reduce the volume of enquiries as well as response waiting times and will give staff the opportunity to prioritise enquiries which need urgent attention and cannot be dealt with elsewhere.
Thank you for watching this short video.
