2027/28

You'll receive results from your assessment in 2 phases.

Before teaching starts on your next unit, you’ll receive Provisional Results. 

• These are preliminary grades issued shortly after assessments are completed. They are subject to review and are not yet final. The university may still need to verify or re-evaluate certain marks before confirming the final results.

The Student Success Team will reach out to you to discuss your results before you move on to the next unit.

After teaching starts on your next unit, you’ll receive Ratified Results.

• These are the final, officially confirmed grades after all reviews, checks, and possible adjustments have been completed. Once ratified, these results are permanent and used for official purposes like progression, graduation, or qualification.

You will be sent an email when your grades have been published. You’ll be able to view them in the UAL Portal.
