    Let you resit without capping you if they accept them. I think so anyway, I've got EC's myself but haven't heard anything yet.

    Speak to your tutor
    Go to your subject teacher
    Think about a resit
    Focus on other papers

    No, I'm second year. I always thought there were resits but they'd be at the same time as referred exams but without the 40% cap if EC's are accepted. If not then I think they might condone the module at a lower mark than they would usually.

    They might let you have a compensated pass as long as it doesn't happen in loads of modules.

    Otherwise this happened to some of my friends (I graduated last year) they make you retake that 1 module next year but it is capped at 40.
