Oxford graduate applicant Marking and Assessment boycott

when will they mark your final year credits and will it be in time to submit them to Oxford?

Unfortunately it seems they won't be marking until the end of the calendar year so definitely not in time to submit to Oxford. Oxford said they are considering my case, but I haven't heard anything from them since then

Awful, I would get copies of all confirmed marks you have, calculate your current running average.

This might well affect your ability to enroll at Oxford even if they waive the academic requirements of a first based on your track record as you currently don’t have a degree and this is likely something you will be required to enroll on a graduate course.

Id get hold of your course director & push them for updates.

I have also made similar enquiries to Oxford because my dissertation hasn't been marked (and probably won't be until the end of the year as the marking boycott is due to last until mid-October), but I haven't yet received a reply. Given that Oxford students are also impacted by the marking boycott, I don't see why you should lose your place to study there, but you will probably require a letter from your current head of faculty to state that you will probably achieve a first once all your work has been marked.

I'm being awarded an ordinary degree - my supervisor has calculated I would get a first even if I only got 40% in the unmarked modules, which they said would never happen on the basis of my previous results. It is extremely frustrating having to wait and not know

At least you have something in the interim, and hopefully Oxford will accept you in the circumstances although they have there own academic policies & regulations about accepting prospective students.

Hopefully it works out - something to consider is could your supervisor act as a reference to your academic potential & write a letter to Oxford on your behalf to help back you up.

Sorry to hear you're going through this too hope we both get the answers we want!

My supervisor already wrote a letter to them saying it'd be virtually impossible I wouldn't end up getting a first; hopefully they accept this...

I am applying for jobs/further study. How will this impact me?

Oxford, for example, has informed graduate offer holders that no student currently completing an undergraduate degree in a UK university will be denied entry to a programme for which they hold an offer on grounds of missing marks due to industrial action.
