Student achievement team

If you do not achieve enough credits to progress to the next level of your course, you may be required to complete outstanding modules through a repeat module year.

The student achievement team can help you understand what this means, what options are available to you, and where to access further support. For more information, visit the repeat modules section of our SOL page.

A trailing module is a module from a previous academic year that you have not yet passed but have been permitted to continue studying alongside your current modules.

If you have a trailing module, we can help you:

• Understand your requirements and deadlines.
• Manage your workload.
• Develop a study plan.
• Access relevant university support services.

Students with trailing modules may be contacted directly by the student achievement team with additional guidance. For more information, visit the trailing module section of our SOL page.

If you're in your final year, our degree calculators can help you understand what grades you may need to achieve your desired degree classification.

You can use the calculator to:

• Explore different grade scenarios.
• Set realistic goals.
• Plan your final year effectively.
• Identify areas where additional support may help.

Visit the degree calculators section of our SOL page to access the tools.

If you are returning to Solent after a period of suspension, the student achievement team can help you transition back into university life.

We can provide guidance and signpost you to support services that will help you successfully resume your studies. For more information, visit the returning from suspension section of our SOL page.

University terminology can sometimes be confusing.

If you've received assessment or progression results and are unsure what they mean, you can:

• View the University's glossary of common terms.
• Contact the student achievement team for personalised guidance and support.

We're happy to help explain academic terminology, progression decisions and degree classifications.

University life can be challenging, and it's normal to need support at times.

The student achievement team can help if you're experiencing difficulties such as:

• Personal challenges affecting your studies.
• Financial pressures.
• Feeling isolated or struggling to settle in.
• Concerns about whether your course is right for you.
• Questions about attendance, engagement or academic expectations.
• Missing an assessment or deadline.
• Wanting to improve your grades.
• Understanding course structure, credits, progression rules or degree classifications.

You don't need to wait for someone to contact you. If you're worried about any aspect of your studies, we encourage you to reach out as early as possible.

Asking for support is a positive step and an important part of succeeding at university.

The student achievement team may also contact students proactively. We use information such as attendance data and referrals from academic staff to identify students who may benefit from additional guidance and support.

To make sure we can contact you when needed, please:

• Check your university email regularly.
• Keep your mobile phone number up to date on your student record through the Portal.
