Hi, I’ve read through this and it doesn’t say anything about rounding. I suppose this probably means they don’t. It’s just I noticed that other unis allow a 2% rounding up if 60 credits at Level 6 was at the higher grade. E.g if you got 58.3% overall but 60 credits at Level 6 were over 60% you’d still be awarded a 2:1. Was wondering if UEA also did this?

Hi @Ssrow

UEA often for many bachelors courses are marked as 40% for second year and 60% for final year in terms of the final degree awarded. In terms of rounding, if you were very close to the border such as 59.8 I think this would get rounded up to 60. If your overall degree mark is close to a border, it very much depends how close and specifically assessed on a case by case basis, e.g. on extenuating circumstances, to whether this would change in anyway.

Hope this helps
