Extenuating Circumstances
If there are circumstances out of your control which affect your performance on assessed work (coursework or exam), you may wish to consider applying for extenuating circumstances.
Results and transcripts
All coursework and exam marks are ratified by a Board of Examiners. Shortly after marks have been ratified, your results will be available on your MyEssex portal. Your transcript will then be sent to you electronically; please advise us if you wish for it also to be sent to your home University.
If you studied with us in the Autumn term only, you will receive your results and transcript in mid February.
If you studied with us for the full year, or Spring and Summer terms only, you will receive your results and transcript in mid July.
