Banking Rules</h2> <p>The Assessment Banking Rules set out the conditions you will have to meet if, when you defer an eligible module, you wish to retain the scores from assessments you have completed.</p> <p>These scores can then be carried forward to a future presentation of the same module, and complete the assessment requirements during that future presentation. This process is called 'assessment banking'.</p> <p>If you have any queries around the content provided within this document, or you require this document in an alternative format please contact your <a href="https://help.open.ac.uk/contact">Student Support Team</a> If you are an Apprenticeship student, you should contact your <a href="mailto:apprentice-support@open.ac.uk">Apprenticeship Enrolment and Support Team (AEST)</a>.
