The revised Regulations may be consulted at: http://www.mmu.ac.uk/academic/grad_regulations.php The main revision is the change from a 40% to 50% pass mark. The pass mark is changing but the threshold level for pass remains the same, as do all learning outcomes. I.e. attainment of the new 50% pass mark is no 'harder,' but of exactly the same in rigour, as the old 40% pass mark. As the revised regulations will apply to all students apart from those who complete their programme by 31 December 2007, for the 2007/08 transition year it is necessary to have a calibration scale to map from the old to the new marking scheme for marks already awarded. This will only apply at unit mark level for the purposes of calculating the award classification, not for each individual element of assessment. This recalibration marking scheme is for the use of staff and students, because most programme and unit handbooks will already have been produced for 2007/08 with the old marking scale included. For 2007/08 onwards, only the new marking scale will be used. 20 November 2007 update: Following a query it has been necessary to amend the recalibration scale to address the mapping over of the compensation band (35%-39% under the old regulations) to the condonement band (45%-49% under the revised regulations).
