Students
in
Year
1
and
Year 2 who
fail
a
module
normally
have two more attempts to resit the
exam component of the module as follows. Please see the "IMPORTANT
NOTES" below.
This also applies to level 1 and 2 modules taken by MMath students in
their third year.
The
First
Resit takes place
during the
Resit Period in August of the same academic year. The coursework mark
will normally be carried forward, i.e. will be included int the
computation of the resit mark.
The Second Resit takes
place during the next academic year when the module is
examined. In this case, students normally resit the exam as External Candidates, which means
- that they do not attend teaching for the module concerned,
- that they will be provided with an exam paper based on the
module as it was taught
when they took the module with teaching, and
- that the coursework mark will normally be carried forward.
Upon special request, students can be granted to resit failed
modules as Internal Candidates,
in
which
case
- the student will have to pay a higher fee,
- the student will attend teaching again for the module
concerned,
- the old coursework mark is NOT carried forward, and the
student is expected to hand in coursework, if applicable, and
- the student will sit the exam for the module as it is
taught during the semester in which he/she is resitting internally.
If you are taking a resit during the
academic year, and you not sure
about your status, please check with the Maths Taught Student Office,
and
make sure you know what to expect.
- There is a fee for resits
and students have to register for them
by a deadline - see University Resit Web
site.
- Check the Progression Rules to
see whether you have to take resits in
order to progress to the next year.
Important Notes.
- Resit attempts can NOT
be delayed or "saved up" until
later.
If a student does not take the resit exam at the time described above,
he/she loses this attempt.
- If a student has any special circumstances preventing
him/her from taking a resit exam, the student needs to submit a Special
Circumstances
Form by the appropriate deadline.
- Resit examinations are subject to a maximum mark of 40 for level 0, 1,
2 and 3 modules, and a maximum mark
of 50 for level 5M modules,
unless the student has explicitly been granted first-attempt resit due
to some special circumstances.
- If a student has had more than one attempt at a module, the
highest of the marks will count towards the student's degree
classification, unless the student has been granted a first-attempt
resit (see next point).
- If a student has been
granted a first-attempt resit for a module, the mark on the
resit exam overrides the original mark, even if it is lower, and even
if it is an "absent" mark (resulting in a mark of zero). This rule
applies even if the student does not register for the resit exam.
Therefore it is absolutely crucial for students to inform the School of
Maths before the start of the exam period if they are not taking up a
first-attempt resit exam that has been granted to them.
Students in
Year 3 and Finalists
In
line with Faculty-wide standards, starting in 2011/12 no August resits
will be available for level 3 and level 5 Maths modules.
Year 3 MMath students who fail a level 3 or 5M module in their third
year, have the opportunity to resit the exam for this module as an
external candidate during the next academic year.
Finalists
- who are on an Honours degree programme and do not qualify
for
an Honours degree, or
- who do not qualify for a degree
are entitled
to take one resit for failed modules. These resits will normally take
place during the following academic year during the regular time the
module is next examined.
Students who are ill or have any special circumstances during the exam
period need to submit a Special
Circumstances
Form by the appropriate
deadline.
