Resubmission and Resits
This support page describes how to manage resubmissions and resits in terms of marks return.
Step 1 - Where should I create the mark return?
For all UG programmes and September start PGT programmes, the mark return process should take place in the current academic session on Myplace.
For any January start PGT programmes (anniversary registrations), the mark return should be created in the academic session in which the first attempt at the assessment took place UNLESS the module that the resubmission/resit occurred has been carried forward in the student record into a re-registration.
Viewing the students curriculum and module lists in Pegasus can also help determine which academic session in Myplace is the correct one for the mark return process to be initiated; View Student Curriculum can provide information on which sitting the student took the module at their first attempt and if a re-registration has taken place with the carried module(s), and Module Lists can identify which students will be listed for mark return against which academic year.
Step 2 - Collect the resit marks
The gradebook can be set up as described in Resits in the Gradebook, if you are pulling marks directly from Myplace. Otherwise, a csv file of marks should be prepared as described in Return marks by file upload. If there are very few marks to return, you may prefer to enter them manually, as described in Manually adding Marks to Marks Return.
Step 3 - Create a new marks return
Follow the steps in Create a New Marks Return, but take care to follow your department or school's naming guidelines so that it is clear from the marks return title that this is a resubmission or resit.
The Student Filter can be used to limit the display to the specified students:
All Students
With an approved passing grade - An exam board has met and officially recorded as passing grade.
Without an approved passing grade - This would normally be the students expected to resit (for example: an exam board has met and recorded a non-passing grade, or no grade was recorded against a given attempt, etc.).
Step 4 - Transfer the resit marks to the new marks return
You can follow the rest of Return marks by file upload if you want to use that method.
As mentioned in Step 2, if there are very few marks to return, you may prefer to use Manually adding Marks to Marks Return.
Step 5 - Send the resit marks return to the resit exam board
When you are happy with your marks return, click Transfer to student records.
