Summer Examinations Results 2026

Published: Tuesday 16 June 2026 - 15:49

Following the Summer 2026 examination session, we would like to provide further information to help you better understand the new Grade Point Average (GPA) system and assessment regulations now in place across TU Dublin, and to provide a quick update on the Exam Results Release. 

Exam Results Release

Staff across the University are currently finalising grades for approximately 25,000 students and holding Programme Assessment Boards to confirm results. Results will be released on a phased basis from this week, as assessment boards take place at different times across programmes. This means that some students may receive their results earlier than others, depending on when their Programme Assessment Board has met and approved any updates and results.

Most students are expected to receive their results by the end of the month , while a small number of students may receive their results in July, as their academic processes typically conclude later in the year.

To help students track the expected release of results, each Exam Office will publish and maintain a schedule on its website listing all programmes and anticipated release dates. These schedules will be updated daily at 4:00pm starting from Wednesday, 17th June, with daily updates following that date, with any entries marked "To Be Confirmed" amended as information becomes available.

Accessing Results

Once your results are confirmed as released, you will be able to access them here.

Supplemental Exams

Supplemental or repeat examinations are due to take place on the weeks commencing 17^th and 24^th of August 2026. Please keep an eye on the exams webpage for the latest information. 

A GPA system is a standardised method of calculating academic performance using a common numeric scale, enabling consistent award classification and making qualifications easier to compare and recognise internationally.

 The 2025/2026 academic year is the first year that a single GPA grading system is operating across all TU Dublin campuses and programmes. While GPA systems were already used on the Blanchardstown and Tallaght campuses, this new model is slightly different and also applies to students studying at Grangegorman, Aungier Street, and Bolton Street.

The Summer 2026 exam session is the first time all Programme Assessment Boards will use this unified GPA system to review examination results, progression and award decisions.

What does this mean for you?

Your academic progress and award classifications are now based on your GPA, calculated from the grades you achieve in your modules during the academic year. 

Please see the following information from our new University Assessment Regulations about Compensation and Carrying.

Compensatory Pass

Compensatory Pass Grade applies to the first and second sittings only.

If you marginally failed a module, receiving a mark between 35% and 39% (DF grade), where the pass mark is 40%, you may still receive credits for the module as a Compensatory Pass. This means that if your GPA is 2.0 or higher  (and you have no F grades), and the module is eligible for compensation, you will automatically receive an overall compensatory pass grade (D grade).

If your GPA is less than 2.0 (or you have one or more F grades), a compensatory pass does not automatically apply.  Therefore, you are advised to resit all the failed modules (F grade) and any marginally failed modules (DF grades) and pass them, to improve your GPA to 2.0 or higher, to gain an overall pass.

If the GPA of 2.0 or higher is attained through resitting and passing only the failed modules (F grade), any original marginally failed modules (DF grade), not taken in the re-sit, will automatically receive a compensatory pass grade (D grade).

Carrying Modules

In some exceptional circumstances, students may be permitted to progress to the next stage of their programme while carrying a small number of incomplete modules.

This is only possible where:

• at least 50 ECTS credits have been passed,
• the student has a GPA of at least 2.2,
• all repeat opportunities have been attempted or are covered by an Extenuating Circumstances form, and
• the outstanding modules are not essential prerequisites for the next stage.

In most cases, students can carry a maximum of either:

• two 5-credit modules, or
• one 10-credit module.

Carrying modules into a award-year stage is not normally permitted.

We understand that adapting to a new grading and assessment framework can feel unfamiliar, and we appreciate your patience and engagement throughout this transition year.

Further information, FAQs, and support resources are available in your Student Handbook, from your School, and in the University Assessment Regulations. 

Outstanding Fees

Students with outstanding tuition or other university fees will experience restrictions on their student accounts. These may include:

• Delayed release of examination results.
• Inability to progress to the next stage or year of study.
• Withholding of graduation eligibility or award conferral.
• Suspension of access to Brightspace and other university services until the outstanding balance has been paid.

Students are encouraged to settle any outstanding fees as soon as possible to avoid these restrictions.

Payments can be made through the Student Portal.
