UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES

BA (HONS) DEGREE

First University Examination in Arts Time: Marks for all modules, including those wholly assessed by Continuous

Assessment, will be presented to the Summer Examination Board. For

students failing to achieve the pass standard for the year at the Summer

Examination Board, there will be a Supplemental Examination in Autumn with

an Autumn Examination Board.

Modules: http://www.ucc.ie/academic/calendar/arts/art002.html Total: 60 credits.

Marks Maxima: 100 per five credit module; 200 per ten credit module; 300 per fifteen credit

module. Total Marks: 1200.

Distribution of

Marks:

Distribution of marks and assessment details (including End of Year Written

Examination Profile) for individual modules are contained in the Book of Modules

(https://www.ucc.ie/admin/registrar/modules/).

Pass Standard

(module level):

The pass standard for each module is 40%. Special Requirements for

individual modules, if any, are detailed in the Book of Modules


Pass and

Progression Standard

(programme level):

To pass First Year and progress to Second Year candidates must:

1.achieve an overall mark of 480/1200 across all modules 2. pass at least three subjects (45 credits) with a mark of not less than 40% in each module and in each subject

3. achieve a mark of not less than 30% in the remaining subject (15 credits) Note: only subjects which are passed with at least 40% in each module in that

subject may be continued in second and third year.

Honours: Honours are not awarded in First Year.

Exemptions: All passed modules carry an exemption, which is limited to a period of 5

academic years (or 2 in the case of Computer Science modules) subsequent

to the award of the exemption.

Supplemental

Examinations:

Supplemental Examinations for Semesters 1 and 2 will be held in August

(Autumn). Please refer to the Book of Modules

(https://www.ucc.ie/admin/registrar/modules/for requirements governing the

Autumn Supplemental Examination for individual modules. Note: For some

modules there is no Supplemental Examination. Students who fail to achieve

the pass standard for the year at the Summer Examination Board must

repeat all failed/absent modules at the Supplemental Examination, where

there is provision to do so and if not disallowed by the Examination Board, or

in a Repeat Year (see below).

Marks from all passed modules are carried forward to the Supplemental

Examination Board.

The pass/progression rule is then applied to the combination of marks carried

forward in passed modules and marks achieved in repeated modules.

http://www.ucc.ie/academic/calendar/arts/art002.htmlhttps://www.ucc.ie/admin/registrar/modules/https://www.ucc.ie/admin/registrar/modules/http://www.ucc.ie/modules/)http://www.ucc.ie/modules/)


Capping of Marks at a Supplemental Examination: In determining aggregation

and progression, the maximum mark that will be taken into account is a pass

40%. The actual mark achieved by the candidate will be recorded on the

student record.

Students who pass a subject by compensation, can opt to repeat this subject

at the Autumn Supplemental Examination or in a repeat year if they wish to

register for the subject in second year and third year. Students who achieve

the pass standard (at least 40% in the subject and 40% in each module in this

subject) at the Autumn Supplemental Examination or in a repeat year can

register for this subject in Second and Third Year. Students who do not reach

the pass standard (at least 40% in the subject and at least 40% in each

module in the subject) in Autumn, can use the result achieved in Summer to

progress to Second Year but will not be allowed to register for this subject.

Repeat Year

Examinations

Students repeating the year may do so choosing whichever of the two

following mechanisms best suits his/her requirements.

1. Students retain exemptions, if any, and must repeat all failed/absent modules. In determining aggregation and progression, full marks

achieved in modules passed at the Summer Examination Board in the first

attempt year plus capped marks achieved in modules in Supplemental

and Repeat Year Examinations are used. Note: For students selecting

different modules not previously taken, there are no restrictions on the

marks awarded for those modules at the Summer Examination Board of a

Repeat Year.

2. Students may repeat the year taking the full 60 credits. In determining aggregation and progression, there is no restriction on the marks awarded

for modules at the Summer Examination Board of the Repeat Year. Modules

taken at the subsequent Supplemental Examination are capped at the pass

mark. Subject to capacity, all students – whether they have failed or passed

– are allowed to choose this option in an attempt to improve their grade.

In the case of a candidate choosing option 2 who failed the first attempt year

and who also fails a Repeat Year as a result of failing module(s) already

passed in a previous year, a pass for the year will be awarded by the

Examination Board, provided the student achieves the Pass and Progression

Standard for the year on the combined results from both years.

In the case of candidates choosing option 2 who had already passed in their

first attempt year but who fail the examination in a Repeat Year as a result of

failing module(s) already passed in a previous year the original programme

level judgement and associated marks will be awarded by the Examination

Board.

Three Year Rule: Candidates must pass/progress within 3 academic years of the date of first

registration for First Year, otherwise they cannot continue in the programme.
