How the academic progress tracker works
Last updated 10 November 2026
Progress is credits passed over credits needed. This tracker adds up both from your modules.
How it works
- Credits passed = the credits of modules at or above the pass mark.
- Average = marks weighted by credits.
- Years left = credits still needed ÷ credits you take each year.
Worked example
With the starting figures:
- Of 48 credits attempted, 32 are passed.
- 328 credits are still needed, about 2.7 years at this pace.
What progress means here
Progress through a degree is credits passed compared with credits needed. A tracker that adds up both from your modules shows how far you are, what your credit-weighted average is and how long you still need at your current pace.
What to enter
- Each module's name and its credits
- The mark you got, or leave it blank if you are still busy with it
- The pass mark for your institution
- The credits you plan to take each year, and the total credits the degree needs
Reading the result
Credits attempted are the modules with marks. Credits earned are those at or above the pass mark. The average weighs each mark by its credits, so a big module counts for more than a small one. Years left equals the credits still needed divided by the credits you take a year.
Where your institution decides
Pass marks, supplementary exams, rules about carrying modules over and the way degrees are classified differ between universities and colleges. Your institution's own rules always decide your marks. Use the tracker to see the shape of your progress and not as an official record.
Privacy and related tools
Your record is not saved or sent anywhere. It lives on the page until you close it, so print or save it if you want to keep it. See also the weighted average calculator and the final mark calculator.
Using it each term
Update the tracker when results come out. Seeing credits earned and years left helps you decide whether to take a lighter or heavier load next term. It also helps you notice early if a failed module will delay graduation, so you can talk to your department about options in good time.
Things to watch
- Your institution’s own rules always decide your marks.
