Summary of Changes from Previous Version

This document is updated and edited for improved clarity for stakeholders. This is the single source of truth for the calculation of weighted average mark simpler to search for in the Policy Register as a standalone document. This schedule is now clear that there are no manual or exceptional adjustments to WAM in response to persistent enquiries by students and academic/teaching staff. Rules around the calculation of WAM when applied to double degrees have been clarified.
