Only related to those starting in Sept/Oct 2019 or after.

We have previously agreed on changes to the way we implement the Submission Pending period to bring us more in line with University Regulations. You can find out more about Submission Pending and how it interacts with Extensions and Interruptions in the University regulations at https://www.staffnet.manchester.ac.uk/rbe/rdrd/code/ under 'Change to Degrees'.

There are still some questions on the regulations and so if you have questions please do come along to the drop in.
