Re-sitting your assessments

Unless you have told us that you intend to defer your re-assessments, we will assume that you are re-sitting your exams in August.

If you do wish to defer your re-assessments and take them in the next academic year, the deadline to tell us of your intention to do so is 6pm, Tuesday 23 July. For more information, please refer to the email we sent you on Tuesday 9 July or contact us with any queries.

Defer your re-assessments

What will happen next?

You will receive the results from your re-assessments on Tuesday 24 September.

If you pass

You will be invited to register the following day for the 2024/25 academic year. After you’ve registered, you will have the opportunity to change your module choices.

Please bear this in mind when making any arrangements for the next academic year.

If you do not pass

You will not be able to progress or graduate without taking your assessments again. If you decide that you wish to take your assessments again, you will have two options:

  • Resit in attendance: this entails repeating a stage or semester of your studies, attending teaching on campus and re-sitting your assessments in the 2024/25 assessment period(s).
  • Resit not in attendance: this entails re-sitting your assessments within the 2024/25 academic year, but you won’t be attending lectures or teaching.

There’s a lot to consider when making this decision as your choice will affect your tuition fees and access to funding. We’ll provide you with more information when you receive your results, but it’s good to start considering your options now. Visit the webpage below to find out more.

Consider your options
