My final classification result was within two per cent of a higher grade boundary, why was it not upgraded?

If you a final year graduating student on a Bachelor Honours or Integrated Masters degree programme, and your final award classification result is within 2% of a degree classification boundary, you may be considered for a final classification borderline upgrade. In these cases, we review your academic performance at your final level of study and consider eligibility for this. If eligible, you would then be awarded the higher final classification. Please read the A1: Regulations for Taught Programmes for full details on how and when this is applied.

If eligible, we will apply the uplift automatically and your Surrey Self Service, certificate and transcript will show the classification awarded based upon the uplift.

If you have not received the classification uplift this is because:-

• You are not graduating with full honours from an undergraduate Bachelor or Integrated Masters programme; this also does not apply to undergraduate intermediate exit awards or to any postgraduate taught award.

• You are a student on a Medicine (BMBS) or Veterinary Medicine course (these programmes are not eligible), or on any other accredited programme with specific PSRB restrictions.

• You do not meet the criteria;  either your overall final classification mark was not within 2% of the next grade boundary, or your overall final classification mark was within 2% of the grade boundary but the weighted average mark for your final level/year of study was not in the higher classification boundary.
