who is not on the list should email Sebastian
choice of supervisor each member of staff has allocated a

Progression and Degree
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Progression pass
overall cw and exam mark: above 35%
first year (ft) no re-sit: 3 cu at level 1 re-sit: 4 cu at level 1
second year (ft) no re-sit: 3 cu at level 2 re-sit: 4 cu at level 2
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Degree rough formula
6 best ½ cu at level 1 (w1) 6 best ½ cu at level 3 (w5) 8 best ½ cu at level 2 and (remaining) 3
(w3) 1cu == 2 * ½ cu of the same mark
final year project must be considered final assessment: 10 cu must pass: 9(old)/10(new) cu must have proper attempt to all 12 cu

Results
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Results letter from college
marks advice on failed modules (how to retake) by August 1st
department database results will not be published on your
profile until after the college has sent the letters
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Transfers
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Transfers end of level 1
must pass year 1 straightforward between computing
programmes from computing to CDW
must “lose” 1 year from CDW to computing:
probably must “lose” 1 year may be possible to take exam in IS and E-
Business at end of year 2
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Transfers end of level 2
must pass year 2 between computing programmes
options available (some will become compulsory) to make up for the unattended courses
prevent re-doing material already studied at level 2
from computing to CDW must lose 1 year; do both Design modules +
nformally work on project from CDW to computing:
must lose 1 year; do both “lost” cu + informally work on project
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Good Practice
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Good Practice a few points
cw submission / excuses formal evidence normally required
problems contact PT (or someone else DST, DOS, Secretary)
asap this may become proof of extenuating circumstances
keep good contact with PT meetings with staff
surgeries ask for appointments
check your college email regularly make sure we have your correct contact details
Department of Computing, Goldsmiths College2 June 2004
Good Practice a few points
temporary withdrawals does not excuse from resits
deferred assessment (including project) only in exceptional circumstances must be flagged early, generally otherwise, awarded only by exam sub-board
