    I'm gonna fail JSTP. Sooo repeating the year. Is it easy to get off-books repeats? How will my final degree mark be counted? Will the JSTP marks be the marks from this year or the repeat year or no marks at all? :confused:

    It definitely won't be no marks at all. I imagine it will simply be the marks from your repeat year - in fact I'm almost certain of it. JS and SS need to be done in contiguous years so they'll take your repeat year mark.

    Edit: you have some time to think about this. Ask one of the relevant departments, they will give you all the information you need.

    Note that the regulations in the Calendar for JSTP require you to get at least 35 percent in order to repeat the year. Otherwise you will be Excluded. So don't just give up on any remaining papers, but make the effort to do as well as you can.

    If you want to try to lift any Exclusion, in order to repeat the year, you need to make an appeal through your tutor. The time available to make an appeal is limited. Check up on the deadline for submitting an appeal at the relevant Court of First Appeal. Get in contact with your tutor as soon as you have definite problems.

    If you do have permission to repeat the year, then you would need to seek the permission of the Senior Lecturer to repeat off-books. Such permission is not always granted, and a case would need to be made.

    If you repeat the year, on-books or off-books, then the marks from the repeat year would replace those from the current year, and would be used in calculating the degree result. If you are permitted to repeat off-books then you could expect that laboratory marks and the like would be carried forward. This would not happen if you were repeating on-books.

    do you know how hard it is to get off books repeats if you've got well over the 35 % but failed one exam without hope of passing by compensation?!

    Going off-books isn't a case of hard or not hard, it is done on a case by case basis and you have to appeal to get it. Generally you need a reason to go off-books since they prefer putting people on-books. Talk to your tutor and/or the SU Education Officer for more info.
