This information is only relevant to students who are returning for further years of study. Key dates are available on the top.

You will receive an email with your marks and your progression status together with any required resits, but will not receive an email about your award.

If you haven't received an email:

a) Check that you are a student who should receive an e-mail
b) Students will not receive an e-mail when results from the August/September assessment period  are           published
c) Check that your mailbox has sufficient space to receive the email
d) Check that the email has not ended up in your spam email. 

Blue Castle in the My Progression profile and the email about your progression will include any resit requirements and you should check the examination timetable to find out when you are expected to attend.

Resit fees are normally RM50

Yes if your School allows that – but you must register before the deadline.

Overseas exam arrangements are only made for students who are normally resident overseas and have external resits;
This also applies to Undergraduate/Postgraduate No Award students (Exchange or Study Abroad Programme)
Please note: Overseas exam arrangements will not be made for students who are on holiday or temporarily overseas during the published examination periods.

How much does it cost to take resit examinations overseas?
Resit fees is RM50 and there is an administrative charge for taking examinations overseas of RM 300.00 for each examination period no matter how many individual examinations are taken in that session. 

You will also be responsible for paying any local charges and/or costs directly to the administering organisation making the local exam arrangements.

For fee payment details, please refer to the Payment of Fees. 

Email will be sent to all students by end of June together with the Overseas Exam Application Form.

Step 1 - Contact your School/Department for overseas examination approval

• Please contact the administering School/Department for their approval (you must have permission for each module you wish to take). If you have any enquiries, you can either contact exams@nottingham.edu.my or your faculty office.

Step 2 - Contact overseas institutions

• The list of approved overseas institutions is for you to choose to sit your exam(s).
• If you choose Nottingham UK campus to sit your exam(s), please contact overseasexams@nottingham.ac.uk directly.
• If you choose Nottingham Ningbo campus to sit your exam(s), please contact exams@nottingham.edu.cn directly.
• Please send the confirmation e-mail from the overseas institution you choose to exams@nottingham.edu.my.

Step 3 - Complete the application form and pay the fee

• Please fill out the Overseas Exam Application Form after you get the confirmation from the overseas institution you choose.
• Please send the completed form back to exams@nottingham.edu.my by the deadline in the email sent to all students.
• Pay the relevant fees - RM50 Resit Fees and RM300 administrative charges to UNMC, payment details you can refer to Payment of Fees, and please submit the receipt of payment either by e-mail or hard copy.

Step 4 - Contact your chosen institution for the exam arrangements and take the exams

• Before your first exam you must contact your chosen institution to confirm all final arrangements (exam time/date/location) and pay any local costs.
• Remember to take your University ID card with you to your exam(s).

In the majority of cases resit results will be published on Blue Castle in September.

This might be for a number of reasons for instance:

• Your home School has not yet returned a recommendation
• the marks have not been returned (eg you took your examinations overseas and the paper was late being returned)
• you were not in the UNMC when you took those modules (mobility/credit transfer modules will be entered later and actual marks can be accessed either through the UK/Ningbo portal or from the institution at which they were studying)
• you are not a UNMC based student (although students on mobility form UK and China will be able to see marks for the modules taken here)

In all common browsers apart from Firefox this should work – this is a known Firefox shortcoming and we can’t solve it. If using Firefox log off and back in using another browser.

In the first instance you should contact your School/Department to discuss the issue.

Refer to the ECs policy in the Quality Manual. There are time limits on when you may submit ECs – look at the policy. 

Your School should have notified you of any action they have taken as a result of a claim for ECs, but if they have not you should contact them in the first instance – but it might be appropriate to appeal – see below.

Refer to the Academic Support and Guidance.

You may also refer to the Appeals policy in the Quality Manual.

Marks and other information may be released later for some students – it is dependent on the School having returned the information. As soon as we have it, we will be publishing it so keep checking back.
