Further Information for 2021/2 and earlier

The Exams Team will contact you if you are eligible for reassessment. The cost of being reassessed in each module will be stated clearly and you will need to indicate your intention to be reassessed and then pay the relevant fee. We will provide you with instructions for the different ways you can pay. If you later change your mind, you must notify us in writing at least three weeks before the exam period begins, otherwise you will remain liable for the full fee.

Please note the following:

• the charges per credit are applicable for all types of reassessment, including written examinations, coursework assignments, practicals and in-class tests;
• if you are not registered on an undergraduate or taught postgraduate programme, but are being reassessed on an undergraduate or taught postgraduate module, you will be liable for the relevant fee as stated above;
• the maximum fee applies per examination or assessment period, not per year;
• if you have an overall result of 'passed' you will not be eligible to be reassessed in any failed modules.
