    So I just got my results and I've failed two of my repeat exams.
    What do I do now?
    What happens to my grant?
    Answers appreciated

    Well depending on the course and the subjects you repeat the subjects failed next year. I some courses you may need to repeat the full year but your tutor can tell you more.
    Regarding your grant I think you will lose it. I dont think you can recieve it while repeating a year. You will get it back when you move to the next year.
    There might also be the possibility of appealing your result. Contact your tutor in the morning

    Sorry to hear it.

    You won't be eligible for a grant. They're not given out when it comes to repeating a year, if that's the option you want to take.

    The only way you can get a grant is by moving forward a year, then you can apply and receive one.

    What course are you doing?

    If you failed two exams or modules, you can repeat just those two modules for the year to gain the credits to need to advance a year. This is pretty applicable to say, an Arts degree.

    I'm in same position as OP. Does it cost more to repeat a year, than it would cost to say just do second or third year? Is there an extra fee on top of registration and capitation?

    If ya repeat the whole year and every subject you have to pay in and around 7,000 as far as I know.
    If ya repeat just the failed subjects I think you pay per subject but I dont know how much that is

    As far as I know, there's no extra fee to repeat. You have to pay for tuition (fees), registration and capitation. They're the three.

    I think you posted about this already grenache?

    What subject/module are you repeating?

    Yes. If you repeat one you pay for just that one. Two, you pay for two and so on. It really varies from degree to degree.

    I posted earlier to ask if i failed a subject, would i necessarily have to repeat same subject next year or could i switch. I think you answered that one.

    I have failed Psychology (all modules) and i think Geography (Physical and maybe Cultural) too. Results out next week. Honours Arts degree.

    Make sure you know how you did before doing anything, then you can go about seeing what your options are.
