The 2019/20 data should be interpreted in the context of the impact of COVID-19 on course grading approaches and the flexibility provided to students, including the ability to request April 2020 grades be issued on a Pass/Fail basis or to de-register from courses towards the end of the academic year.

The 2020/21 data should be interpreted in the similar context.
