Before Good Cause - Extensions

Definition of good cause, what does ‘manifestly prejudiced’ mean, what can a good cause claim achieve, how do i submit a good cause claim, how do i explain my situation.

  • Good Cause and Long Term Conditions (NOT Registered with Disability Services)
  • Good Cause and Long Term Conditions (Registered with Disability Services)

What evidence do I need?

When should i submit my good cause claim, what if my good cause claim is refused, fitness to study, more useful information about good cause.

If you are approaching a deadline and have suffered from adverse circumstances or illness, keep in mind that you are able to ask for an extension of up to 5 working days via a request to your course convener, adviser of studies or staff noted in your course handbook. This may be enough additional time for you to submit your work without the need for a Good Cause claim. You can see more information on this here .   

The University defines Good Cause within the  Code of Assessment  as:

‘…illness or other adverse personal circumstances affecting a candidate and resulting in either:

i) the candidate’s failure to

  • attend an examination, or
  • submit coursework at or by the due date, or
  • otherwise satisfy the requirements of the assessment scheme appropriate to their programme of studies, or

ii) the candidate’s performance in an examination or other instrument of assessment being manifestly prejudiced.

You can see from this that Good Cause is a two-stage process – firstly you must have had illness or other adverse circumstances, and secondly your illness/circumstances must have resulted in either non-completion of the assessment, or ‘manifest prejudice’ to your performance (see underneath).

The University has a comprehensive  FAQ page on Good Cause .

We felt it would be helpful to highlight a few common questions students ask about Good Cause.

Typically, when looking to see whether your performance was ‘manifestly prejudiced’ by your good cause circumstances, the Board of Examiners would be checking whether your performance in that exam or assignment is clearly worse than your usual standard. If the Examiners feel that, despite your adverse circumstances, you still performed pretty much as normal, they can refuse to accept a Good Cause claim on that basis. This is to save you having to do unnecessary re-sits in some cases.   

It is important to understand that a successful Good Cause claim  will not simply raise your grade  in the assignment or exam, but it can allow other solutions, such as:

  • An uncapped resit
  • An extension longer than the usual maximum of 5 working days
  • The removal of late penalties from a piece of work
  • For Honours students, removing the affected assessment from your final degree calculation (depending on how much work you have submitted).

In many cases a successful Good Cause claim will require you to complete a new piece of work at a later date. You need to take this into account when deciding whether it is worth submitting Good Cause.

There are also special considerations relating to Good Cause for dissertations, which is covered within this link .

The University has also created an outcome flowchart  here  summarising these possibilities.

A good cause claim should be submitted via MyCampus.  Check the University's  How To Guide for Good Cause  which will walk you through the process.

Within the Good Cause MyCampus form, there are a number of pointers explaining what your School is looking for. We recommend you consider the following:

Focus on Assessments The Good Cause rules are set up to deal with problems affecting your assessments, rather than problems affecting your learning earlier in the course.  For example, if you say ‘ I couldn’t concentrate on my lectures because I suffer from anxiety ‘ this is unlikely to be accepted, as there is no evidence of any exacerbation surrounding the assessment. However, a situation such as ‘ I have underlying anxiety and had a panic attack just before my exam and was unable to focus on the exam questions properly ‘ is more likely to be considered, as this shows that there has been some exacerbation at the point of assessment.

Relevant Detail Use specific and relevant detail, like within the 2 examples underneath, to improve your chance of having your claim accepted. 

  • I suffer from generalised anxiety disorder
  • On the advice of my GP, I was given different medication in the days leading up to my assessment deadline
  • I subsequently had a bad reaction to this new medication
  • I wasn't able to get an appointment with my GP until after the deadline
  • My elderly brother, who lives with us, also has complex PTSD and my recent home environment has been very challenging    
  • As a result of my reaction to this new medication and having to cope with the challenges at home, i was not able to focus or concentrate on this assignment and my performance was affected
  • Three days before the exam, my child came down with a stomach bug
  • As I am a single-parent and could not source alternative childcare, I had to care for my child in the lead-up to the exam 
  • I had very little sleep for three nights and was worried about my child
  • As a result, I struggled with my preparation and concentration during my exam
  • I believe my performance was affected

Other examples might include a flare-up of a physical or mental health condition, or some other kind of family, financial or accommodation emergency close to an exam or deadline.

Don’t  just say “ I spoke to my School about the problems I was having ”. Again,  do  be specific: When did you do this? Who did you speak to? What advice did they give you?

Try your best to present your Good Cause claim in a logical order with as much clarity as you can. Unless complex, a Good Cause claim should be able to be presented in no more than say 1 side of A4 (500 words). 

A second opinion If you think there’s a chance your Good Cause claim might not be easily understood, it can be useful to have someone else read it over before you submit.  The SRC Advice Centre team are happy to read over any draft Good Cause claim, so please let us know if you would like help with that.

Good Cause and Long-Term Conditions (NOT registered with Disability Services)

The Good Cause process is not designed to make allowances for a long-term or chronic condition. This is because the University expects students with long-term health conditions to register with the Disability Service so that any reasonable adjustments and support can be given during the academic year.

However, Good Cause  can  take account of a sudden worsening or flare-up of a long-term condition, so if this applies to you, you can still claim Good Cause. Just ensure that you make clear that it is the flare-up that you are citing as Good Cause, rather than simply the underlying condition itself. Rather than say 'i have anxiety', be specific and highlight what the circumstances were that triggered an exacerbation in the anxiety at the time of assessment, e.g. slow access to GP support, change in medication, specific circumstances or events taking place etc. 

Please see this section  here  for a further discussion on this and contact the SRC Advice Centre for further advice if you need to.    

Good Cause and Long-Term Conditions (Registered with Disability Services)

Disabled students who are making a Good Cause claim relating to flare-up of a relapsing and remitting condition no longer need a bespoke letter from Disability Services to support their application.

Instead, they can request a template letter  from the Disability Service which confirms that they are registered with the service and are applying due to a flare-up of a long-term condition they have already notified the University of.  

This means that disabled students do not need to repeatedly evidence any conditions they have already declared to the University. You can find more information on this process  here

Ideally if the matter relates to a health condition, it would be preferable to submit supporting evidence from a medical professional if you can, but the University recognises that this isn’t always possible.  For other non-medical adverse circumstances, it is helpful to submit something to verify the situation, even if this is just a letter from a family member or other relevant person who was aware of your situation at the time.

Please read over the Senate Good Cause FAQ page for a more detailed discussion of this  here . If you are unsure if your evidence is relevant, then please get in touch with the SRC Advice Centre who may be able to advise further. 

You must submit no later than 5 working days after the assessment was due or the exam date . It is extremely important to ensure that these time limits are followed. If it was not possible to submit a Good Cause claim within this 5-day period, a late Good Cause claim (also known as retrospective Good Cause) may be allowed if you can show a good reason as to why you didn’t submit in time (for example, you might have been in hospital without access to the MyCampus system).

The reason there are strict time limits is to ensure that grades are not released to students before all Good Cause claims are considered.

If you are making a late request we would advise you to contact your course leader or Head of School to discuss this first rather than just submitting a MyCampus request. As part of a late request, in addition to explaining what your adverse circumstances were, you would also have to explain in detail why it was not possible to submit your claim within the required 5-day period. It is crucial that you cover this aspect or your claim is likely to get rejected. Staff reviewing your claim need to see a tangible reason as to why you couldn't follow this 5-day rule. For further advice on this please contact the SRC Advice Centre. 

If your Good Cause claim is refused, you should take the following steps:-

  • If you were simply told it was not accepted, reply, asking to see what the specific reason for this was
  • If you disagree with this, you should put your thoughts back to academic staff and ask them to review this (you may wish to speak to the SRC Advice Centre for guidance on this)
  • If you feel that you rushed the Good Cause claim, omitted important information, or have sensitive information within your Good Cause claim, again, speak with academic staff about this and see if the decision can be discussed and reviewed   

If your informal attempts to resolve this fail, you may be able to submit a formal academic appeal if you have grounds to do so.

If the refusal was because the Board of Examiners felt that in fact your performance was  not  ‘manifestly prejudiced’ (i.e. your work was comparable with your usual standard) then you will not be able to appeal against their academic judgement, and so you might be happier to just accept that result.

For a fuller explanation of appeals and grounds of appeal, please read over the Advice Centre’s  academic appeal page . For further assistance with this again please contact the SRC Advice Centre.

It might be useful for you to be aware that the University has a specific policy aimed at supporting students with more significant health or personal challenges, which are greatly affecting their ability to study and engage in wider University life. You can read more about this policy here . You should not be fearful of this policy, as it is a process designed to support any student who is experiencing a broader and often more complex range of challenges, which the Good Cause process is not designed to address. If you feel that challenges you are facing are complex, potentially long-term and that multiple Good Cause claims are not the answer for you, please have an initial conversation with your adviser of study to talk this all through and make yourself aware of all options. It may be that the Fitness to Study process forms part of these discussions. If you do end up being referred to this process, the SRC Advice Centre can support you with this.

Formatting Your Thesis

Thesis layout and presentation, conversion to pdf, depositing associated multimedia files, creating an edited version of your thesis, presentation of the print thesis.

University guidelines on the layout and presentation of your thesis are available. It is recommended that you consult them if you are unsure of how to present your thesis. You should also check with your School if they have any specific requirements for thesis presentation.

For further help with preparing your thesis you are strongly encouraged to attend the course on ' Using Word to prepare your thesis ' run by IT Services. This course is primarily based on the University guidelines mentioned already.

The required format for deposit in the Theses Service is PDF. It is assumed that you will be using a standard piece of software to create the electronic version of your thesis, e.g. Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer or LaTeX. Before you deposit your thesis you need to convert it to PDF format. Ideally your thesis should consist of a single PDF file . However, it is acceptable to deposit a small number of individual files if you experience major difficulties in producing a single file for conversion to PDF. Before converting to PDF you need to ensure that you have incorporated any elements of the thesis created in programmes such as Excel, Access, PowerPoint etc. into the main body of the thesis. If using Microsoft Word to produce your thesis, you should do this by using the Insert>Object, Insert>Picture or Insert>File options rather than by copying and pasting. However, if there are e.g. multimedia elements that you are unable to incorporate into the main body of your thesis it may be possible to to upload these as a separate file. See Depositing associated multimedia file s for more information on what can be deposited. Details of how to deposit associated multimedia files can be found in Depositing your thesis .

For help and advice on preparing the electronic version of your thesis you will find it extremely useful to attend the course on ' Using Word to prepare your thesis' run by IT Services. The course will include information on how to convert your thesis to PDF. While you are strongly encouraged to attend this course, the documentation for the course can also be accessed here:

Main course notes [ PDF - campus only]

University thesis preparation guidelines [ PDF - campus only]

List of thesis styles [ PDF - campus only]

Template 1 - to be used when ready to combine chapters and create complete thesis [Word template file Thesis1_2010.dotx - campus only]

Template 2  - to be used to create all individual chapters [Word template file Thesis2_2010.dotx - campus only]

To access these files login with your GUID. If you still cannot open the files e-mail [email protected] .

If you have any questions about the use of these files, please contact Judith Harriman-Hunter ( [email protected] ext. 4858).

This documentation is for the use of University of Glasgow students only.

You should save the PDF version of your thesis using the following filename format:

year - name - degree.pdf e.g. 2007smithphd.pdf or 2008jonesmphil.pdf

If you need to deposit two files, one complete and one with 3rd party copyright material edited out you should give them different filenames using the following format:

Public version: year - name - degree.pdf (e.g. 2007smithphd.pdf)

Full (not for public view) version: year - name - degree internal.pdf (e.g. 2007smithphdinternal.pdf)

If you need to deposit additional multimedia files that cannot be incorporated into the main PDF file you should use the same file name with the addition of information about the type of media being deposited. e.g.

2007smithphd_audio.mpeg

If you are concerned that your PDF file is very large please contact [email protected] for advice on the options available. The online deposit system can cope with very large files being deposited, but from the point of view of people trying to access your thesis it is best if PDF files are kept to a reasonable size.

Instructions for conversion to PDF

To convert your thesis to PDF format using a CSCE PC or a PC running the Standard Staff Desktop you have various options. If you have access to a computer running Office 2010 you can use the Save as PDF option in Word. In addition, all PCs in the Library offer access to PDF Creator . To use PDF Creator:

  • Open your thesis in Word or Writer
  • Choose File - Print
  • In the drop-down box opposite Printer name choose PDF Creator
  • You will then be asked to supply various pieces of information including document title and author. You do not need to complete the subject and keywords fields
  • Click on Options and then on the link to PDF under Formats
  • Next click on the Security tab
  • Click on Use security
  • Ensure that the option to disallow copying text and images is selected
  • Click on Save
  • You will now be back at the original screen - click on Save
  • Name your file according to the convention specified
  • Choose where you want to save the file to.
  • A box will appear asking for a password - click the Cancel button
  • A box will then appear saying that the document is not protected - this is fine (it means that user of your thesis will not be asked for a username and password to read it). Click on Ok
  • Your thesis will then be saved as a PDF file. Note that it may take several minutes to convert a large file. If you have problems converting to PDF because your file is very large it may be necessary to spilt it into chapters and to upload each separately.
  • The PDF file will be automatically opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader so you can check it.

If you have created the electronic version of your thesis using LaTeX then you are probably already proficient in producing PDF output. The main routes are by (1) distilling postscript output, for example using PDF Creator described above, (2) using dvipdfm to convert the standard dvi output from LaTeX or (3) using pdfLaTeX to produce PDF output in a single step. Further information can be obtained from the UK List of TeX Frequently Asked Questions: "Making Acrobat PDF documents from (La)TeX".

If you have used a Mac to prepare your thesis you should be able to create a PDF version by choosing the option to Print to PDF.

If you have access to the full version of Adobe Acrobat you will also be able to use this to convert your thesis to PDF format. The full version of Adobe Acrobat is now available on the scanner PCs on Level 3 of the Library. If you are having difficulties using PDF Creator to produce a PDF version of your thesis it is recommended that you use the full version of Adobe Acrobat instead.

If you are off campus you can download a free copy of PDF Creator and install this on your own computer.

The main body of your thesis, including associated images, data, tables etc. must be deposited as a PDF document. However, if your thesis has associated multimedia e.g. sound file or video clips these can be uploaded separately. There are no restrictions on the type of multimedia files that can be uploaded, but no guarantee can be give that such files will continue to be accessible in the future. The relevant software for playing such files will not be provided by the Thesis Service. If you are providing the full text of your thesis on a CD-ROM/memory stick you must include on the disk a separate file that explains what the associated files, i.e. name of file, what type of file it is, what the file consists of, so that when your thesis is made publicly available Library staff know what the files are. If you do not include this we may not be able to upload the files. Note that you should only upload multimedia files where you own the copyright, or where you have cleared any necessary rights.

If you have been unable to secure all the necessary third party copyright permissions for your thesis you will not be able to make the full version available online. You will still be required to deposit this copy, and it will be held securely. However, you may wish to make an edited version publicly available. If this is the case you should save an additional copy of your thesis, remove the relevant material and insert a place holder at this point in the document, e.g.

Figure (Text/Chart/Diagram/image etc.) has been removed due to Copyright restrictions.

Remember that you need to deposit both the full and the edited version of your thesis, and that these should be given different Filenames.

  • Good quality paper (range 70g/m2>100g/m2) of A4 size should be used. Margins should be not less than 15mm, and 40mm at binding edge.
  • The thesis should be firmly sewn and securely attached to its boards to ensure sufficient rigidity to support the weight of the work when standing on a shelf. The boards should be of dark coloured cloth. The author's name and title of the thesis should appear on the front cover; and the author's name (including initials), the degree for which submitted and the year of submission should appear on the spine, lettered from top to bottom. The volume number (if any) should also be given on the spine.
  • Illustrations of all kinds should normally be bound in with the thesis. Any material which cannot conveniently be bound should be packaged so that it can be kept with the thesis, and should be labelled in a similar way.

A list of local bookbinders is available.

What Happens if You Fail Your Dissertation?

In University by Think Student Editor February 9, 2023 Leave a Comment

A dissertation module is one of the key things that defines the step up from secondary school to university. It’s one of the biggest pieces of writing you’ll do for your degree, in terms of research and word count. It’s no mistake to think that a lot rests on a good dissertation. However, it’s always good to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. You’ve probably already asked the question – what actually happens if you do fail?

If you fail your dissertation for the first time at any degree level, you will be allowed one resubmission, which is usually capped at the pass mark. However, if you fail your dissertation resubmission, there are different consequences. If you fail your undergraduate dissertation, you can still graduate as long as you have enough credits, although this may be with an ordinary degree. However, if you fail your master’s dissertation or PhD thesis resubmission, you will not be allowed to graduate.

The topic of failure is quite daunting for most students. Not to worry! This article is here to help you understand failure criteria for a dissertation, and what happens in the event of failure.

Table of Contents

Is it possible to fail your dissertation?

Like with modules of your university course, unfortunately it is very much possible to fail your dissertation . Although this sounds daunting, don’t worry too much! Dissertations are not designed for you to fail.

The grading systems for university modules and dissertations are very similar . Across most universities, the pass mark for a dissertation is 40% or 50%. For example, check out this guide by Royal Holloway University, London to learn more about their dissertation grading.

This means that while it is certainly possible to fail your dissertation, it is unlikely that you actually will . However, in the event that you do fail your dissertation for whatever reason, don’t panic. Your university will usually let you resit your dissertation .

Keep in mind you’ll only be able to resit your dissertation once , so try your hardest to achieve the grade you want. For all the details you’ll need about a dissertation, I’d definitely recommend reading this Think Student article.

In summary, while it is possible to fail a dissertation (just like any other university module), a dissertation only requires a pass mark of 40%. Although a dissertation is different to a module, it is still pretty difficult to fail.

In the event you do fail your dissertation, don’t be too hard on yourself . Keep reading further to find out what happens if you fail your resit dissertation.

How bad does a dissertation need to be to fail?

To understand how “bad” a dissertation has to be to fail, you need to know what examiners are looking for.

Your university will have published the marking criteria for dissertations . These will normally feature comments on the key areas to earn marks in. As an example, check out the University of Edinburgh’s dissertation criteria here .

Therefore, if you failed your dissertation, it isn’t necessarily because you’re “bad at researching and writing”. To fail, it has to be the case that you didn’t meet the criteria to achieve a passing mark. It’s important to keep your confidence, so that you can do better when you resit.

If you haven’t written your dissertation yet, I’d definitely recommend looking through your university’s marking criteria. Similarly , your tutor will want to help you as much as possible, so you can ask them for advice if you’re really struggling .

If you’re seeking advice on how to write a dissertation, you should check out this Think Student article.

Can you graduate without passing your dissertation?

For an undergraduate degree, you can still graduate as long as you have enough credits to pass the other modules .

However , if your degree is a BSc or BA with Honours, if you fail your dissertation and the resit dissertation, you will graduate with an ordinary degree . You can read more about what an ordinary degree is in this Think Student article.

If you fail your first dissertation attempt, but pass your resit undergraduate dissertation, you will still pass with whatever class of degree you earned.

However, the rule is slightly different for master’s dissertations and a PhD thesis. These rules also depend on the university you attend .

At all universities, you are allowed one resit of coursework (dissertation is a form of coursework, as it is not a timed exam), even for a master’s degree and a PhD. However, if you fail your resit dissertation for your master’s degree, you cannot be awarded a master’s degree.

In the case of a PhD, you will not be able to graduate with a failed resit thesis . I’ll explain this in more detail later in the article, so keep reading!

What happens if you fail your master’s dissertation?

Failing your master’s dissertation for the first time isn’t ideal, but it isn’t the end of the world. You’re allowed a resit, which if you pass, means you can still graduate with a master’s degree.

However, a failure is a lot more serious if you fail your dissertation a second time . Failing a resit dissertation at master’s degree-level means you cannot graduate with a master’s degree.

This doesn’t mean you can’t be awarded anything at all for your effort. For example, the this page by the University of Nottingham states that if your dissertation is not passable but still “adequate”, you may still be awarded a diploma .

What happens if you fail your PhD thesis?

Like with an undergraduate or master’s degree, you’re allowed to resubmit your thesis once only . Given that you pass the resubmission, you’ll still be on track to graduate with a PhD.

Failing a PhD thesis resubmission means you cannot graduate. The pass mark for a PhD thesis is usually around 60 , such as at the University of Cambridge, which you can learn more about on their website, here .

In most cases, a PhD thesis will account for around 50% of the degree . Looking at it this way, it makes sense that if you failed half of your degree, you wouldn’t be able to graduate. A PhD is a research-based degree, and the thesis proves you have good research skills.

If you’d like to know more about how a PhD is graded, I’d recommend this Think Student article.

How often do students fail their dissertation?

As I established earlier, it’s pretty hard to fail your undergraduate dissertation module . It’s also quite hard to fail a master’s dissertation or a PhD thesis given the pass mark.

According to this article by The Healthy Journal, up to 50% of PhD students will not finish their thesis or graduate . This statistic sounds quite extreme, but keep in mind that not many people choose to complete a PhD because of the amount of time and money it takes.

If you really are concerned about failing your dissertation, speak to your tutor . They will have been in your position and will know how to help. Don’t struggle on your own!
