The M103 form is for staff use only and is used to award prior certificated credit for students registered on an Undergraduate UMP/ AFR award.
Information from the form is converted directly onto a student’s record so that the Student Records System (Banner) can read and include it in the process of checking the student’s programme and generating programme errors, the Module Registration summary etc. It is therefore essential that the credit awarded is based on the subject rules that will apply to the student at the point they enrol:
The rules under which a student is considered for Stage I credit are those in operation when the student entered Stage I.
The rules under which a student is considered for Stage II credit are those in operation when the student entered into Stage II. Please note, in this instance the Stage I rules for the year of entry will also apply and are not backdated.
Students entering into the final year of the course in September 2022, will study under the Undergraduate Modular Programme Regulations following the Stage II rules for their year of entry. Please also refer to UMP Regulation B2.14 (Admission with Credit and Credit Transfer) which sets the minimum amount of credits that a student must complete on the UMP for the various awards. For example, it is a requirement that students take a minimum of 120 acceptable Level 6 Hons credits on their new UMP registration for the award of an Honours degree.
For students studying under the Academic Framework the regulations state that students cannot normally be awarded more than two-thirds of the total credit required for the award they have applied for.
