Understanding Conditional Progression
A conditional progression at Falmouth University means you’re allowed to move on to the next year of your course — but you still have work from this year to complete by a set deadline. Your place on the course isn’t secure until those conditions are fully met.
This is a third and final chance, and it’s also a serious responsibility. If you miss the deadline or don’t meet the conditions, you will lose your place on the course.
📢 Where to Find Your Conditional Progression Decision
- Log in to MyFalmouth to see your progression decision and any conditions.
- This is your only official source of information.
- Do not rely on tutor feedback, Learning Space, or provisional marks — they may not reflect the official outcome.
- Read the conditions carefully and note all deadlines.
⚠️ What Happens If You Don’t Meet the Conditions
- ❌ You will not be allowed to continue your course.
- ⏸️ You will be withdrawn from the university, partway through the term.
- 📝 You can only stay on the course if you submit an appeal and it is upheld — this is not guaranteed.
Many students don’t realise how serious this is until it’s too late.
💰 Financial and Practical Impacts
- Student finance: You may need to repay overpaid maintenance loan if you’re withdrawn mid-term.
- Accommodation: If you’re in a tenancy or halls, you might still be legally responsible for paying rent, even if you’re no longer a student.
- Future studies: Leaving your course may affect funding entitlement for future study.
These are real financial risks, so it’s important to take the conditions seriously and get help early if you need it.
