Variation:
Referral: Referral is the re-taking, due to a Fail, of one or more Required Assessments in the original or a revised format in order to achieve the Pass Mark. Referral assessments are usually taken in August/September at the end of the academic year in which the Required Assessment was Failed, but may be taken at other times, including earlier, as specified by the Faculty setting the Required Assessment. |
| |
2.19 |
Variation:
Repeat: Repeat is the re-taking of assessments during the academic year following the first attempt, or following an unsuccessful Referral. Normally students may choose whether to Repeat Internally or Externally, following academic counselling from the Faculty in which they are enrolled. However, some Required Assessments have specific practical or placement requirements that necessitate attendance; students needing to Repeat such Required Assessments will be required to undertake a full Internal Repeat. Where this applies it will be stated in the Part I Assessment Schedule. Should an assessment which is to be Repeated not be available in the following year, the Board of Examiners will specify what alternative assessment should be taken. |
| |
|
| 2.19.1 |
Variation:
Internal Repeat: A student choosing an Internal Repeat will be required to Retake all Required Modules constituting the Part I programme and to Repeat all Required Assessments including those Passed at the first attempt. The student is entitled to attend all taught sessions, expected to submit all formative work and to take all Required Assessments. The full tuition fee is charged for an Internal Repeat. A student choosing an Internal Repeat is not permitted to transfer to an External Repeat part way through the year. |
| 2.19.2 |
Variation:
External Repeat: A student choosing an External Repeat will be permitted to Repeat only those Required Assessments which were Failed at the first attempt and not Passed at Referral. The student is not required to pay tuition fees and hence is not entitled to access taught sessions or academic or pastoral support services. He/she will have an enrolment status of 'Repeat non attending' which allows access to the Library and to IT services only. A student Repeating Externally may be required to pay fees for examinations and other assessments. Programme regulations will specify the mode of assessment which will be used. A student choosing an External Repeat is not permitted to transfer to an Internal Repeat part way through the year. |
