PURPOSE: this regulation explains the circumstances in which you can repeat a module.

8.1 Repeating a module

If you fail a module, you will be able to repeat that module on one occasion only unless this is prevented due to:
• a sanction applied under the Academic Conduct Regulation.
• availability of the module
• course duration rules
• the module being a nominal 1 credit module.
Repeating a core or elective module means that:
• you may be charged a fee
• you must attend all sessions and submit all assessments
• you will have the same reassessment opportunities as outlined in Regulation 3 unless an Academic Misconduct sanction prevents this.
If the module is no longer available (e.g. due to the course being revalidated), a replacement module may be studied as directed by your course team. This will be treated as a repeat and will be subject to all regulations relating to retake modules. If a replacement module cannot be studied, you will need to renegotiate your programme of study. Decisions about taking a replacement module or renegotiating your programme require discussion and agreement with the course team.
A failed elective module may be substituted with an alternative module. This module would then be your repeated module.

8.2 Repeating mixed level modules

There may be some circumstances which permit students to repeat failed modules at two different levels in a single academic year. These are:
• Part-time students who have studied mixed levels for scheduling reasons unless progression rules prevent this.
• students who have studied mixed levels due to the design of their course, for example, Integrated Masters.
• students who have outstanding reassessments from the previous level and subsequently fail modules at two levels.

8.3 Consequences of failing repeated modules

If you fail a repeated module, you will be withdrawn from the University with immediate effect. You will be considered for an intermediate award where appropriate. Any further application to study will be considered in accordance with the University’s Admissions Policy.
