Top Tips

ARTs

What is an ART?

“ART” stands for Academic Review TypeAn “ART” may be understood as:

1. A progress decision;2. An Exam Board recommendation; or 3. A code representing the progression and

award recommendation made by a Board of Examiners.

Different ARTs

Each ART acts on a student’s record in a different way

It is important to understand what the ARTs do and how to apply them

New for 2014/15

ART G will now auto-calculate for most UG students

TSA senior staff will be able to un-release a previously released ART or degree classification so it can be re-calculated
