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.
