Regulation 5 - Failure of a Module

Regulation 5 - Failure of a Module


PURPOSE: this regulation explains the reasons why you might fail a module.

You will fail a module if:
• After reassessment, you do not achieve the minimum overall pass mark in a module, which may include the requirement to pass an individual assessment task.
• Where failing the module is a sanction set through the Academic Conduct Regulations

If you fail a module:
• You may repeat the same module on one occasion only (see Regulation 8). This applies to both core and elective modules.
• You may repeat a substitute module on one occasion only (see Regulation 8). This applies to elective modules only.
If you fail a module due to academic misconduct, you may be given a sanction that means you are not allowed to repeat the module or a substitute module.
