Details of this. The Departmental Assessment Panel decides the type and timing of re-assessment. This will usually be a resit of the failed element s but an alternative method will be provided if needed.
You can be required to retake the entire module with attendance with teaching. You can also request to attend classes before resitting or resubmitting elements from a failed module.

Download our leaflet for more information. Student progression. Students are required to achieve a minimum number of credits in order to move to the next level of study. In the event you have not achieved the required credits to progress, a Retrieval package will be created to manage the outstanding modules at your current level. You are allowed two attempts at a module.
You will fail the module if you did not submit work for the first attempt. Although each university has its own rules and regulations, Lanisha Butterfield from the University of Oxford says key reasons for mitigating circumstances include acute illness, unforeseen circumstances such as a traffic accident or bereavement, or a disability or long-term health condition. Be aware that financial difficulties, mild illnesses, work commitments, poor time management or loss of material do not generally count as mitigating circumstances.
James-John Connorwood, a law student at Glasgow Caledonian University, developed abdominal pains before sitting his last exam but the prospect of not graduating with his friends terrified him. You can often apply for one or two per academic year and they can be used for coursework, written assignments, dissertations and projects. Be careful not to waste them.

If you think you may be unable to perform in an exam, act quickly and make sure you keep a record of all events. Most universities will require written evidence. This can include an official police report if you have been a victim of a crime, a death certificate if you have suffered a bereavement, or a dated letter from a doctor or hospital. The resulting mark is usually capped at a bare pass level, which is typically in the range. If you fail a dissertation, you will usually be given an opportunity to re-submit it by an agreed-upon date.
As with a module failure, the marks awarded for a re-submitted dissertation will usually be capped at a bare pass level. It is worth noting that a complete failure of a dissertation is rare at UK universities, and typically occurs only if a student has neglected to meet with their supervisor at regular intervals, or neglected to submit drafts in advance of the final submission.
Although university regulations usually allow a student to re-sit exams and assessments, as described above, there are special procedures in place in cases of failure due to plagiarism. If a student is found to have copied work from another source or used the ideas of others without citing their sources appropriately, they may receive a failing mark.
In serious cases the matter can be referred to a University Ethics Board, that will have the authority to take a range of measures against the student. In many cases, students found guilty of plagiarising will not be provided with an opportunity to improve their marks, though they could potentially appeal the decision. In addition to re-submitting assessment elements, you may have grounds appeal the marks awarded to you.
This can happen if your university has neglected to take your Extenuating Circumstances into account, or if you were unfairly disadvantaged in any way.
