Highly Likely to Succeed Letter

Overview

A Highly Likely to Succeed Letter is a document produced by Registry Services that confirms you are highly likely to successfully complete your programme based on the assessment of your performance to date. This declaration is used for meeting the conditions of offer (and subsequent issuing of a new CAS) when progressing to a new institution.

Ordinarily, only Queen Mary Postgraduate taught students would be eligible for this document for further study on another Postgraduate taught programme or a Postgraduate research programme as finalist results release is usually after the new programme start date. Please note, this letter is not for proving your right to work, or confirmation your studies have concluded for that purpose.

Undergraduate Requests

As Undergraduate students should receive their results well in advance of a new course start date, they would not be eligible for this document. We may however be able to issue them in exceptional circumstances and will review any requests for a letter on a case by case basis. 

Exceptional circumstances usually only cover those who need to undertake late summer resits. This is because the results will be released after the new programme start date and right before their current visa expires meaning there is a very small window for a new CAS to be issued and apply for a new student visa in time.

Process of requesting a letter

Students should submit an enquiry via AskQM: https://askqm.qmul.ac.uk/

  • Log in to AskQM and open a new enquiry
  • Enter subject line: Highly Likely to Succeed letter request
  • Select Category: Programme & Module Support
  • Select Sub-category: Programme support

This request will then be sent to your academic school. They will review your academic record and, if they consider you to be highly likely to successfully complete your programme, they will then hand on your enquiry to the AskQM Frontline Team and ask us to produce the letter.

Once the AskQM Frontline Team receives this confirmation from your School, we will create the letter for you and send it to you in response to your enquiry. 

Please note, we cannot produce the letter without express consent from your academic School so please follow the process as recorded above. We may be required to liaise with other departments when considering requests such as Queen Mary's Immigration Compliance Team or the Advice and Counselling Service.

The creation of this document is subject to the AskQM Frontline team's service level agreements, so we advise patience whilst waiting for this request to be completed for you.
