    Hi guys, so I am just after registering, only doing resits this semester, but i was automatically registered to my resits and I also had 2 repeats from semester one, and I was able to register for one of these but the other says: 'Repeat not available'? Do I have to do all repeats? Or seeing as this is not available will I have to do it next year? Really don't want the latter, as I wan't a clean start next year!

    I assume it says repeat not available because it's not offered in the first semester. And you can only resit a module in the semester immediately after you fail it. Is a repeat offered in the second semester? If not, then the module probably isn't on this year in which case you will have to substitute it. Was it a core module?

    No repeat offered in the second semester either! Yeah it's a core, all the modules in my course are cores, and it's a prerequisite for a modules I'll be doing next year! Is it possible to pass it by compensation, seeing as I'll be doing all the other repeats?

    Have a look in the Course Search and see if the module is still on this year. It's possible it's been replaced with a new core module. But yeah, if you got an E in it and you meet the GPA requirements you should be able to compensate it. But you need make sure your course allows you to do this. In some courses you have to repeat failed core modules.

    It might be a good idea to contact your programme office.

    Thanks for the replies Sad Professor! :)
    I did the course search, and the tab 'when is this module offered' is not there so I guess that means that it's not offered this semester!
    I think my programme permits passing core modules by compensation, because I know of a few in my course who have done so, but yeah I'll contact the programme office to be sure, thanks again! :)

    do you have to pay before you register if you're a continuing student?

    I didn't have to - I haven't paid yet but registered to option modules.

    Hopefully I can still register to elective modules without paying!

    You must be able to! Isn't it like you can pay half by September 11th and the rest sometime in January?
