#i'm not blaming the union ofc (solidarity forever) it's the fucking university's fault

Oh no, how come you don’t have enough credits?

I do technically have enough credits, but the UCU (university and colleged union) is in a pay dispute with the universities at the moment and as a result they're doing a marking and assessments boycott. that means even though i've handed in all my work it can't get marked until the dispute is resolved and i therefore can't get a degree.

people who have 60 final year credits (for example if they finished a module before the boycott started) are getting granted interim degrees but my modules don't work out like that (i did one 60 credit module, one 20 credit module, and my dissertation, which is worth 40 credits) so i don't even have enough credits for that. i'll get a transcript with all the marks that are available (my credits from first and second year, and possibly the 20 credit module from this year bc i don't think that professor is striking) but apart from that i won't get a classified degree until after the boycott is called off
