    Hey guys! Waiting to receive my results from my repeat exams over the summer. Expecting to pass them but I definitely have failed two if not 3 modules and Im wondering is it possible to pass onto third year through extenuating circumstances? I dont at all expect special treatment from the college but my dad passed away last year and I found it extremely difficult to find the motivation to do well in college this year. Would really appreciate some info as I desperately do not want to fail the year and repeat :(

    Some of the results are out now. Hopefully you'll have got better news than you were expecting.

    I think this really depends on the school/department. The School of Media stopped allowing the carrying forward of modules because people were getting to the end of their final year with modules still outstanding, and so not graduating.

    have you tried compensation if you performed well in one module marks my be transferred to the failed module to help you pass but not sure how you even go about this or if it is even true anybody out there used this ??
