There are a very small number of students for whom the 2020-21 Safety Net assessment regulations continue to apply, for example, if you started a dissertation module in academic year 2021-22, but the submission date is after 26 September 2021.
This is likely to impact the following categories of module/assessment commenced prior to 26 September 2021:
Postgraduate taught (PGT) dissertations
Part-time PGT modules
Courses with non-standard term dates (e.g. courses starting in February)
Courses with non-standard lengths (e.g. pre-registration PGT Health courses – Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Podiatry)
Courses with awards considered at Winter examination boards
Your award classification will be calculated using the regulations which were in effect when you started studying the stage, so for a part-time PGT course started in 2020-21, the Safety Net assessment regulations (including mitigating circumstances for unrepresentative performance) classification rules would be applied when you complete your level 7 credit. Your school office will be able to confirm this information if you are unsure, or have complicated circumstances.
