The Rise Assessment is changing. This academic year 25/26 is the last year that you will be able to earn academic credit through Rise which can contribute to your final degree outcome.
Next academic year we’ll be launching a refreshed Rise offer, which will incorporate new ways for you to gain recognition for your Rise activities.
You can still earn academic credit this year and if you have earned 150 points on graduation this year, your transcript will show this a practice credits.
Any credits you have already gained in previous academic years will still count towards your final degree outcome during a phased transition period.
To take part in the Rise assessment you need to:
have earned 300 Rise points
then you can complete a reflective assignment of around 3000 words. The deadline for this is Monday 27 April,
you need to sign up to take part by Wednesday 1 April.
Your work will then be marked by the Rise team in line with Rise’s learning objectives, and a grade will be awarded. If your grade for this is higher than your grade in an optional unit, the Rise grade will be substituted in to your degree calculation.
For more information on this process, you can visit the Rise website.
Not all programmes are eligible, and you can talk to your personal tutor or programme team about whether it’s right for you.
You can also use Manchester Met’s undergraduate degree classification calculator tool to look at how your grades add up and how a Rise unit might make a difference.
