Academic Progression
At the end of each teaching period, e.g. a semester, your Academic Progression will be assessed. Depending on your results, your progression status will be green, amber, red or purple.
- Green means you’re doing fine and you’re on your way to success.
- Amber means you should think about your results and consider taking some action to get back to green for the next teaching period.
- Red means you must take some action to address your study results, or risk being excluded from your course.
- Purple means that you have been excluded from your course of study due to a lack of academic progression.
