Repeat Year - First Attempt and Resit

You have not passed sufficient modules to be allowed to proceed to the next part of your course. You will be required to repeat the modules with a status of “First Attempt” or “Resit” during the next academic session.

First attempt – you had approved extenuating circumstances for the assessment(s) with a status of ‘First Attempt’. You are required to complete this, as if for the first time, during the next academic session. Please note, if you are already repeating the assessment(s), the modules will be capped at the module pass mark. Please refer to the course handbook for module pass mark.

Resit – you will be required to resit the assessment(s) with a status of ‘Resit’ during the next academic session.

Please be advised that the following points will apply to your resit assessment(s) and module(s):

  • You will not be able to attain a mark higher than the overall module pass mark in any module where you are re-sitting an assessment. Your actual assessment mark will be recorded and the overall module will be capped at the module pass mark. Please refer to course handbook for module pass mark.

  • If the mark you achieve at resit is lower than what you achieved at your first attempt, the resit mark will still be recorded.

  • If you fail to attempt your resit assessment a mark of “0” will be recorded.

  • The 5 working day late submission rule DOES NOT apply to resit work or to work submitted as a first attempt during a resit period.

What do I need to do now?

  • We advise you to read the First Attempt Information for undertaking your assessment(s) as First Attempts in the next academic session.

  • We advise you read the Resit Information regarding undertaking your assessment(s) in the next academic session.

  • It is your responsibility to contact your module leader about your assessments.

  • You will be required to re-enrol on your course. You will receive an email to your student account confirming that you are eligible to use the online enrolment service. Further information on how to do this can be found on the Enrolment website.

International Students

Study Length Will be Extended – As you have not yet successfully completed all the assessments assigned to you during your last period of study and you may not have enough time on your current visa to complete your studies in the UK. If you are concerned that this may be the case, you should contact your Immigration & International Student Advice Team
