What does it take for you to retake the year

My understanding is that you would need to fail some exams at both first sit and resit. However, this will vary by department, so I would suggest setting up a meeting with your academic adviser to ask them what the procedure is.

If you can find someone to take over your place in your house then you will probably be able to get a place in halls. However, as you have missed the deadline for current students you probably won't find out if / where you have a got a spot until after A Level results day. Everyone I know who has repeated the year / gone from foundation to first year / swapped degrees and restarted on a new programme has gone into the shared house that they signed for. Is there any reason why you couldn't do the same?

I just dont feel like i'd survive second year engineering in the current state i'm in, whether i pass the resits or not. Would they accept that or not if i have a doctor's slip?

I don't know anyone specifically who'd take it up. Is there some other way to find people to live there? Ads or something?? I could go to the house, but i'd prefer to go to halls. I'm not particularly close with the people i'm living with next year. Long story short, i decided to live with them coz they were getting a house after Christmas. All the houses were gone and my friends were dispersed everywhere and were rather unorganised about the housing, so i thought i'd rather have a cheap roof over my head with people i at least know than live in a house where i don't know half the people is some crappy house that was left til late February or something.

Also i know previous foundation years that moved back into halls the next year. No biggie, i'll still see my current peeps.

A combination of bad work ethics and health/medical issues has meant that i am way behind on my course, and even if i manage to pass my year i dont feel like im prepared for 2nd year, especially at the pace that an engineering degree gets to in 2nd year. What i'm asking is what does it take for the uni to allow you to retake the year? Do i need a form explaining my circumstances? Also, i have arranged a house in second year with other people, would i be able to give away that spot to return to halls, in case i do return? Much thanks.
