My Girlfriend was told she failed the course what happens can she retake?

As i said she doesn't have any family around to help her, she scared to go to uni and is super shy so hasn't got many friends. In times like this we all need someone to rely on and I am that person.

I am doing it because it right thing to do and don't want her to end up hurt as result of this and if you want get in selfish reasons I don't want her to leave

Your girlfriend needs to contact her tutor now and see what options she had available to her. Some universities restrict you to 2 attempts at any module, by missing her second attempt without mitigating circumstances, she may have been deemed to have used both attempts. She may be able to appeal, but she needs to approach the university now. Thinking exam X clashed with exam Y, she should have told the exam registrar. Any confusion or rescheduling could have been handled then.

With regard to her visa, if she is here on a tier 4 student visa, then if her university terminate her studies, then she will be in breach of her visa conditions and have to leave. The university is required to inform UKBA if a student is no longer on the course. Assuming she still has leave to remain on her current visa, I think you have 60 days after this event to find a new course and make a fresh visa application.

A good university, provided that attendance requirement had been met will not inform UKBA until all options have been exhausted. But if your girlfriend does not work with the university to achieve the required credit, it will result in her visa being terminated. If the visa is terminated and she does not make alternative arrangements or leave the UK within the grace period, she risks being deported and banned from the UK for 1 - 10 years.

I understand that, but I mean that surely it really needs to be her contacting the university as it's her that failed? Might make her come across as immature if you're doing it on her behalf.

Why should she have a third chance? Isn't that just devaluing the work of other students at the university who manage first time around? It's one thing to miss an exam for extenuating circumstances (a crash or something), perhaps even to oversleep (bit lame but it happens), but to knowingly just not go to an exam which was already a retake is just not a smart move.

Yes it wasn't the best move but there were reasons behind her choice maybe not the best but still, in terms of the first two trys consider the situation not the number, I didnt have a problem with the exam but if i had been in relationship which consisted of abuse both verbal, financial and worse or had been scammed out of money with the possible prospect of being homeless then i can say truthly i doubt i could pass. Yes she could have gotten mitigated circumstance maybe but when your scared of being judged going forward and admitting a proble is a terryfying prospect(plus it happened in summer holiday where if your trying to just sort out just somewhere to live trying to get in contact of the uni is going be least of your worrys). As you said people have failed for oversleeping or getting drunk but have past second time around but these are different circumstances. If you don't believe so then you are devaluing the issues abuse and financial fraud.

Unfortunately until your girlfriend is ready to work with the university to come up with a solution, her outlook is bleak.

As you describe it, she has been through a tough time, but she has to want things to change, you can only support. If her self esteem issues and pride are stopping her seeking help and getting help, there is very little that can be done. As an international student, she needs to comply with the terms of her visa, this adds urgency to her situtation.

The best thing that you can do, is go with her to the university on Monday and get her to talk to someone. They are there to help, not to judge. But if she does not engage with the university quickly, the decision terminate her from the course will stand and there will be no more time to appeal or make other arrangements.

You do not say whether she has met the attendance requirement. If she hasn't and she is on a tier 4 visa, then this could be the real source of her problems.

TBH

I think that she probably need to go home to her family

Come to terms with her situation with the support her family can give

Then look at alternatives for the future

The problem is being she doesnt want to see her family she cut contact which was unhealthy but general problem is they are very judgemental/ traditional. When she came out of her abusive relationship her mum came to check she was fine but one of the first thing she said to her was that it was because she was acting like slut. She has also had a bit abusive relationship with her mum since she used to hit her. Chinese culture is pretty bad as it strives for results over mental health which is largerly ignored, we both worried that it could just make it worse for her.

That is clearly not good

However ... university is not a solution for these problems

Yet I was wondering if people could just give advise on what i can do help, I have listened, gave resurance and moral support as well as little things to help cheer her up but not sure if there is anything esle I can do.

University are not sanction but they are to provide education and look after the well being of their pupils. The alternative to her staying here is going home where she wont be able to get the support services she needs and has to face her family which she says she can't face doing. I had a friend last year who was thrown off the course with no support he HUNG himself. The university failed to help him and im not going standby and let that happen to her.

I find it hard to believe based on some repsonses and negetive rep that people don't seem be able to sympathis with someone who suffered what is classed as abuse at home and has failed her course as result of domestic abuse. Instead opting to have her sent back home instead of attempting someone despite some problems is perfectly capable the work she handed in is of excellent quality.
