Classification Of Awards (Final Years)
Spring Semester Exam Results will be available on Thursday, 19th June 2025 (Time TBC)
*Note that the servers get extremely busy on the release of results. Please be patient, as it may take some time to view them. If there are any serious issues with the server, these will be communicated to you.
How do I access my results?
Autumn Semester examination results will be released online on Thursday, 19th June 2025 (Time TBC).
All students can access their results by logging into Register.mic.ul.ie, using their Username (MIC Email address) and Network Logon Password, and clicking on the 'Results' tab on the Homepage screen.
- We strongly urge you to check that your network logon password is working correctly in advance of release of results to avoid undue delay in accessing your results.
- If you do not see your current results when you log in, it may be because you have an outstanding fees balance. Please log into Register.mic.ul.ie to view your balance and make any outstanding payments. Once your account is at a 0 (zero) balance, your results will be released for the next business day.
When your grades are added together at the end of a semester, your overall results are given to you in numerical form.
Ultimately, this number will decide what level of degree you graduate with. It’s measured out of 4.00, so the closer you get to that figure, the better.
Some of your grades are ‘double-weighted’, which means they’re worth twice as much, so they have a bigger impact on your QCA.
We encourage you to refer to the MIC Student Handbook in the first instance with any queries around grades/QCA.
A cumulative QCA of 2.00 with no deficient grades (i.e. 'F', 'NG', 'I') is the minimum standard for progression to the next year of your course.

Information on Grades and QCA can be found between pages 11 to 20.

Rechecks:
The grade recheck application window for Spring Semester Examinations is TBC.
Recheck fee: €25 per module, which is refundable only if the grade is changed as a result of the recheck. Remember grades can be lowered by a recheck, so be sure you really believe the grade awarded is incorrect before applying.
The grade appeal application window for Spring Semester exams will open when Grade Rechecks close.
You must first complete a Grade Recheck; if you are unhappy with the outcome of it, then you can appeal the decision to the Head of Department.
Further information, including how to apply and costs, can be found:
A cumulative QCA of 2.00 with no deficient grades (i.e. 'F', 'NG', 'I') is the minimum standard for progression to the next year of your course.
All grades taken in the annual repeats will be capped at C3. The higher of the original or the repeat grade will be awarded in all cases. In cases where students received an I-Grade during semester examinations, these I-Grade modules are not capped at the annual repeats.
Students who do not attain the minimum QCA at the end of the year will the recommended by the relevant examination board:
- Repeat the year, or
- Repeat a full semester, or
- Repeat a maximum of two modules in any one semester on a link-in basis. In such an instance, grades are uncapped, or
- Enrolment is terminated.
If you need to repeat anything from the Autumn and/or Spring Semester, you will be able to register for this after the Exam Results:
Annual Repeat registration will open on June 20th 2025, and will close on July 11th 2025
Annual Repeats will take place in mid-late August 2025, and the timetables will be available mid-July.
You can register for Annual Repeats on the student portal at register.mic.ul.ie
What is an Annual Repeat?
Annual Repeat exams are an opportunity for students who have deficient grades in the Autumn or Spring Semester to repeat their exams in August to improve their grades, with repeat exams being capped at C3. These students will have received an Action Report indicating that they have the option to sit Annual Repeats.
I received an Action Report - what should I do next?
If you receive an Action Report and are unsure of what your options are, you should contact your Faculty Office (Arts Office / Education Office / MIC Thurles Office) to discuss your options with them. We strongly recommend students do this before registering for Annual Repeat exams.
Please read your Action Report carefully as it contains important information regarding your progression
More information on Annual Repeats can be found here.
