Well I am currently doing my first year at UCLAN and I am taking 6 modules. 2 double modules which are my core ones which I'm guessing is worth 40 credits each and 2 electives worth 20 credits each which makes 120 credits all together. Basically, I failed both exams on my language elective. I took the first exam and failed and just failed the resit. I got told I cannot resit it again so I know for a fact I have failed this module. I have done well in all my other modules but I'm worried I have failed my whole year now because I failed my language module. Does anyone know how many credits you need to pass on to next year and if theres any chance I could pass onto next year with insufficient credits. Thanks

Im' quite gutted, Ive done so well in all my other modules and it seems a shame that I have to fail coz of 1 elective I just cant get my head around the language, I do Ok in class its not as if I didn't try. Just my mind went blank when it came to the exam. Is it worth trying to appeal in any way ?

Surely this is the kind of question which can be answered by reading your course handbook. It should say what happens in your situation. And you can ask your course leader for further advice.

You may be allowed to pass onto next year if your degree does not involve any more language modules. Your fate is now with the board of examiners who will make the decision. You should probably book an appointment with your advisor to discuss what has happened, when you will find out, what your options are etc. Good luck, I hope things work out for you

I know that on my course, you're allowed to fail one module (so long as you get >25%) and still pass onto the next year . . . it may be the same for you. As someone else said, read your course handbook / email your academic tutor!
