Gradebook Built for UK Honours and Exam Board Processes

UK universities classify degrees into First, 2:1, 2:2, and Third based on Credit Weighted Average. Resit grades are capped at the pass mark. Exam boards exercise discretion through compensation and condonement. OpenEduCat handles all of this with pre-configured scales, automated CWA computation, and wizards that mirror how UK exam boards actually work.

CalificaciónPuntos / RangoDescripción
First Class70% and aboveThe highest honours classification. A student averaging 73% across all weighted modules earns a First. Roughly 30% of UK graduates achieve this.
Upper Second (2:1)60 to 69%The most common target for graduate employment and postgraduate entry. A student at 64% is solidly in 2:1 territory.
Lower Second (2:2)50 to 59%A respectable pass. Some graduate schemes require a minimum of 2:1, but many employers accept 2:2 holders.
Third Class40 to 49%Minimum pass for undergraduate degrees. A student at 42% passes but earns the lowest honours classification.
FailBelow 40%No degree awarded at this level. The student must resit failed modules. Postgraduate programs typically set the pass mark at 50%.

Qué Hace el Módulo United Kingdom

Funciones específicas del país que van más allá del motor central del libro de calificaciones.

1

Credit Weighted Average (CWA)

UK degrees use CWA rather than GPA. Each module's percentage mark is weighted by its credit value. A 30-credit module at 68% contributes more to the final average than a 15-credit module at 72%. The system computes CWA automatically from published gradebooks and displays it in the format "65.4% (2:1)".

2

Capped Resit Policy

Failed modules can be resat, but the resit grade is capped at the pass mark, 40% for undergraduate, 50% for postgraduate. A student who scores 67% on a resit is recorded as 40%. The original failed grade is annotated with "R" (Referred) on the transcript. This is enforced automatically by the re-attempt policy.

3

Compensation Wizard

UK exam boards can compensate marginal failures. If a student scores 35-39% on a module but their module group average is 40% or above, the board can choose to compensate the failure. The compensation wizard presents eligible cases to the board and applies the decision. Compensated modules are marked on the transcript and do not block graduation.

4

Condonement

Similar to compensation but for borderline cases that do not meet the compensation criteria. The exam board can condone a failure at their discretion. Condoned modules have a distinct status and the student progresses without repeating the module. Both condoned and compensated modules are excluded from blocking backlog counts.

5

Module Assessment Report

Per-module breakdown showing each student's coursework marks, exam marks, and the overall module grade. Resit grades are shown separately with the cap applied. This report is the standard artefact UK exam boards review during progression and award meetings.

6

Honours Classification at Award

At graduation, the system computes the final CWA and maps it to the honours classification: First (70%+), 2:1 (60-69%), 2:2 (50-59%), Third (40-49%). Borderline cases (within 2% of a boundary) are flagged for exam board discretion.

Política de Reintentos

Capped Resit (Pass Mark Ceiling)

When a UK student fails a module, they sit a resit examination. The resit grade is capped at the pass mark, 40% for undergraduate programs and 50% for postgraduate. The system uses the most recent attempt for GPA/CWA calculation. The original attempt is annotated with "R" (Referred) and the capped resit is marked with an asterisk (*). The compensation wizard and condonement option are available to the exam board for marginal failures that meet the institutional criteria.

Cómo afectan los reintentos al expediente académico

  • La calificación activa (contada en el GPA) está marcada con un asterisco (*)
  • Las calificaciones reemplazadas o excluidas están anotadas con su código de estado
  • Todos los intentos aparecen en el expediente para mayor transparencia académica
  • Los atrasos compensados, condonados y exentos no bloquean la graduación

Preguntas Frecuentes

Preguntas comunes sobre el módulo de libro de calificaciones United Kingdom.

CWA (Credit Weighted Average) uses percentage marks rather than grade points. Each module's percentage is multiplied by its credit value, summed, then divided by total credits. A 30-credit module at 65% and a 15-credit module at 70% gives CWA = (65x30 + 70x15) / 45 = 66.7%. There is no 4.0 conversion: UK universities work entirely in percentages.
