If you fail an exam in January?

    Hey, first year in DCU and somebody asked me the other day when the repeat exams take place if you fail any. I assume they are in August/September like most colleges right? I know UCD used to allow students to carry them to semester two and re-sit them in May/June along with your second set of exams but this was scraped a few years ago. So does the same apply to DCU? Not that I am expecting to fail anything but personally I would prefer if you were allowed re-sit any exams along with your others in semester two. Would rather have a tonne of exams to do in June than have to stick around all summer just to repeat one or two. What do people think of this rule, does it bother you at all?

    It's not really a matter of 'sticking around all summer', there's plenty of time to do stuff and then study for repeats
