You had extenuating circumstances approved for assessment(s) with a status of ‘First Attempt’ and can now sit these as if for the first time at the next available opportunity. 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.

You will also be required to resit the assessment(s) with a status of ‘Resit’ during the resit period.

Modules with a status of ‘Repeat’ will need to be repeated during the next academic session.

Please note the following points apply to resit(s) and repeat(s) assessments and module(s):

• You will not be able to attain a mark higher than the overall module pass mark in any resit(s) and/or repeat(s). 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/repeat is lower than what you achieved at your first attempt, the resit/repeat mark will still be recorded.

• If you fail to attempt your resit/repeat 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 to read the Resit Information regarding undertaking your assessment(s) in the next academic session.

• We advise you to read the Repeat Information regarding Repeat module regulations. Please note, Repeat modules attract a fee. If you are funded by the Student Loans Company you should notify them of your repeat student status. For more information, see our page on Repeating Part of your Course - Funding Implications. You can also discuss funding and financial implications with the Student Money Advice Team.

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