    Hi
    I am a third year Theoretical Physics student and I failed a resit exam. Can I do it again, repeat the module or do I have to repeat the whole year?

    Thanks

    Usually you have to repeat the whole year. You tutor would be the best person to ask about it to be honest. It should say beside your result if you're eligible to repeat the year etc.

    You could always try to get super supps either.. Although you do need a valid reason for them. And they charge you for them... granted, it'd be much cheaper than repeating the entire year.

    You could try and get permission from the Senior Lecturer to repeat off books, which would mean only repeating your exams as opposed to the entire year. You still have to pay a fee, but it's a fraction of the price of a full repeat.

    Hi
    Thanks for advice. I am waiting for my tutor to come back to me to find out if I can do 'Super supps' or go off books and do exams only. I can,t afford to repeat the year and pay the fees

    If your tutor doesn't come back to you very soon, maybe get in contact with the Senior Tutor's Office.

    You have to move fast and getting in contact with your tutor ASAP after exam results have been published. Unfortunately you have missed the deadline for putting an appeal to the Science Court of First Appeal, which met yesterday. You need advice from a tutor to see what options might still be open to you.
