4.2.4 Part Two (Year Two and above) – Students who entered Part Two FROM September 2019

1. Students may fail no more than 20 credits which contribute to the final award classification (excluding level ‘S’ modules, i.e. marks gained from a Sandwich/Intercalary year).

2. To progress from one year of study to the next students must pass a minimum of 100 credits.

3. Students are normally allowed only TWO opportunities to resit failed modules (with an F indicator) for the bare pass mark.

4. Students who have failed 80 credits or fewer will be required to take the first resit opportunity for all assessments in the summer resit assessment period in August. The second resit opportunity for any failed modules must take place during the following session, in the semester the module is being, or had previously, been taught. Students on a sandwich or abroad placement will not lose a resit opportunity if they have placement commitments which prevent them from taking their first resit during the August resit period of the second year, neither will they lose a resit opportunity if they are unable to resit during the placement year either.  Students who cannot take resits because of placement commitments will be offered resits during their final year.

5. Students who have failed more than 80 credits will be required to repeat the year.

6. Students are normally allowed only ONE opportunity to resit modules for a full mark (with an H indicator) where special circumstances MUST have been considered and approved by the University. This would be during the summer resit assessment period in August if the total number of failed credits is 80 or less, or by repeating the year).

7. Students are allowed to be assessed on a maximum of 80 credits in the summer resit assessment period in August. Students who have failed more than 80 credits are not allowed to take any resits in August, and must repeat the year.

8. Students who have qualified for their degree will not be able to take any remaining F resit opportunities. Students who have not yet qualified may take any remaining resit opportunities to enable them to achieve the required standard.
