    Failed my exams help :(
    Hi everyone

    So due to a few personal problems I failed 5 exams and 2 of them were resits.
    Having failed 2 Modules and only passed 1 my first year. What will happen to me? Can I resit this summer and have 1 more chance to make year 2? Or will I get kicked out. Considering 2 of my Exams I failed were 1st time resits already is it even allowed to resit again?

    I can't create evidence for my person problems aswell due to it being family and friends dying I dont want to put more of stress on the parents of the lost ones by asking for a death certificate if you know what I mean. RIP to those who died.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    This is exactly what mitigations is for. Have you spoken to your personal tutor, or a university counselling service of some sort? They should be your first port of all. If you're going to fail the year, you need to see them ASAP. To be honest, given the position you're in and the difficulties you've had in doing the work, I can't see why you'd want to go onto Year 2 with a slate like that. If you're really committed to your studies and want to give things a shot, I personally would rather approach it with a clean slate so you've not got all that holding you back. Maybe you could talk about re-starting at your own uni, or potentially go through UCAS again.
