Key facts about exams 2011–12

This list is a brief summary; for further details please see information in our Student Handbook and our main examinations web page.

We do not release results over the phone or by email, but we expect them to be available online in MySIS by about mid July.
Queen Mary Registry will post official results to your home address by about the end of July.

Resits are for failed exams and are pegged at 40%; first sits are for missed exams and are not pegged (unless the exam you missed was a resit).
Resits must be taken at the earliest opportunity and first sits should be taken no later than the following summer.
Students entering the first (level-4) year of their degree in 2011 or later have only one resit attempt per module. (Students who entered earlier have two resit attempts per module.)

A missed exam counts as a fail unless the absence has been certified.
If you miss an exam for a good reason (usually supported by a medical certificate), we may grant you a first sit. Requests for first sits must be handed in with evidence to the Maths Office as early as possible, and no later than Friday 15 June 2012 (one week after the end of the examination period).

You are automatically entered for all late summer exams for which you are eligible.
Non-finalists are eligible for late summer first sits if they are approved.
Only first year students are eligible for late summer resits of maths exams.
All non-finalists may be eligible for late summer resits of other exams.
Queen Mary Registry will post official results to your home address by about mid September; results will not be available in any other way. But you can check whether you progress by emailing maths-ug@qmul.ac.uk from the second week of September onwards.

You should register for all your modules and main exams for the current academic year in September and you must register within two weeks of the start of the first semester (see our module registration guidelines).
You should confirm or update your module and exam registrations (including first sits and resits) in January, within two weeks of the start of the second semester.

To progress from first to second year you need to pass Essential Mathematical Skills and also 90 credits (6 modules), counting resits.
To progress from second to third year you need to pass 180 credits (12 modules) in total, counting resits.
Modules at level 3 do not count for progression.
