If you have received a communication informing you that you can continue on a lower award, this could be due to:
- you exceeding the number of modules you are permitted to attempt for your award, or
- because you have not met the progression requirements for the next stage, eg into the final year of an Integrated Masters programme.

If you are an undergraduate student who began your Stage I studies in September 2020 or after, or a postgraduate student who first registered in September 2020 or after, please refer to regulation 6.14 Credit Limits.
For postgraduate students who started their programme prior to September 2020 please refer to Postgraduate Taught Regulation B4.4 Conditions for Satisfactory Progress contains details regarding the maximum number of credits that can be attempted for each award.
