You may not proceed to the next stage...

So I've just got this email saying "you may not proceed to the next stage of my Honours programme because you have not passed the necessary number of credits".

I'm currently a Year 2 student in BSc Hons, sadly I have failed 2 modules this year. According to what my classmates said I can not fail more than 2 modules in the year, but now I'm with 2 failed, and I've got this e-mail. Does that mean I will have to repeat the whole year? Or I can carry on to Year 3 with 2 re-enroll modules?

Here is the whole E-mail content:

2014-2015 ASSESSMENTS Further to the meeting of the Board of Examiners, it was recommended that you may not proceed to the next stage of your Honours programme because you have not passed the necessary number of credits. The Board of Examiners recommends, on academic grounds, that you re-enrol in September on the failed modules (FREN) as shown in your results on StudyNet. A FREN grade means that you must repeat the whole module (ie exam and coursework) next year. However, whilst not recommended, you are entitled to progress on the Unclassified degree. On completion of your unclassified degree you may then be able to top up to an Honours degree by an additional year of study. Please note that any modules you will be retaking will be capped at 40% for the purposes of calculating your classification. Your transcript will, however, show the actual grade you achieve.


Thank you for reading all these

You have two choices. The first is that you resit those modules next year but they will be capped at 40% for the sake of calculating your degree. You transcript however will show your new marks for each of those modules.

The second is that you continue without repeating those modules. If you do that you can have a degree but you will not get your honours. This is essentially a dead end and will limit your future choices. You'll have no classification. You can however then add an additional year to your course to regain the honours part.

So either way you are going to need to do an additonal year. You need to decide whether to repeat those modules to keep your honours, or to continue and receive an ordinary degree and then top up.

But can I resit those modules along with my year3 modules? This is my biggest concern...they are not really asking me to repeat 2modules in the whole year right? That will be complete waste of time.

It sounds like you may not be able to progress to level 6 without those modules being completed. You have effectively failed your second year and passing it will have been a requirement for progressing to your full final year. Sometimes you're allowed to progress to final year with your resits but your workload will increase dramatically.

However, this is all up to your individual university. Some may allowed it. Some will not. You need to contact somebody at your university for advice. You need to see what they suggest.
