Support for those with pending results

Feeling so gutted as from what I've been reading it may actually be a full 6 weeks before we get the results. My module had so many issues throughout the year so tbh not actually so surprised :/

I feel sick at the thought of having to wait another 6 weeks to find out if I’ve passed or not.
The lack of communication by the OU worries and the very vague explanation as to why it’s pending.

I am currently going through the same situation, so I’m glad I found this thread! I got one of my module grades back but the other days pending, with a very vague email not explaining why. I’m so scared that I’ve either not made the mark or I’ve accidentally plagiarised something. Was just looking forward to it all being over

I don’t understand the need for the vagueness, id much rather just know what is happening, 3 years of stressful studying to have this happen at the end just feels like a kick in the teeth…

It’s just awful, I’ve studied full time along full time work and it’s been so hard, to have it all at risk now. It definitely takes a toll on mental health, it isn’t fair at all, do you know how long we could be waiting to find out??

It really is s**t. I’m assuming like me you should be receiving your class right about now along with everyone else?
Honestly I’m not sure - I’m not sure if it’s different for everyone who’s only found out today. But when I have replied to the investigation team - their email states you should receive a decision letter within 4 weeks. However the generic email seems to give 6 weeks as an estimate.
There are horror stories on here about people waiting months - unfortunately there’s barely any positive outcomes to be found on here which I think makes it worse. So hopefully we can keep this open and slowly people will start to get their good news so next year when the next lot of students suffer the same they have some positive answers too.

But postponement isn't just caused my plagiarism I believe? I have seen others have it postponed overall due to grade decisions etc also. Or I really hope so as they surely would inform all those with pending on the day or before results not just leaving it hanging. For my module there was a bunch of technical issues for the final tma so much so they allowed a 24hr blanket extension and the option to not submit and make the submission in August instead. So assuming its just another f up from OU..

The delays to marking are likely due to the national Marking and Assessment Boycott (industrial action short of a strike) to try to push universities back to negotiations about pay and working conditions.

The union has an information page for students here: https://ucu.open.ac.uk/campaigns/information-students

Thanks, I just feel totally in the lurch and more stressed as I have absolutely no idea what it is. I know I didn't intentionally plagiarise but the idea of being investigated and not having a clue is really anxiety inducing! Really hope I actually recieve an update or something this week at least

I know looks like it’s not just OU that's having it this year! Such a shame and I still wish they could inform all those with pending as to why they haven't got them instead of nothing. There seems like so many in the fb groups!
