What happens if I fail my dissertation
Having a panic attack right now. Due to a series of reasons, most of which can be summed up as me being a complete lazy idiot, my dissertation is due in about 10 hours and I have only done about 500 words and no research. How screwed am I? What happens if/when I fail? I am absolutely terrified.

Yeah, that's not ideal. The exact rules will vary from university to university, but it's likely that you'll be able to request an extension. Don't be surprised if that means your mark is capped at 40%. Perhaps not what you were hoping for, but better than a fail.
Talk to whoever you need to talk to (your tutor, course leader, student support, etc.) first thing in the morning to establish how to get an extension. Once you've managed to arrange it, stop being so much of a "complete lazy idiot" and actually do the dissertation.
Hi there,
Like other modules if you fail there is typically an opportunity to resit the module. This will typically mean the grade is capped at 40%, however rules differ between University so I would conduct your School/Department guidebook to check any specific rules.
Good luck

Hi,
As a third-year Psychology student I understand the dissertation was a challenging piece of work. I understand your frustration, however I am sure if you speak to your module leader you may be able to resit or maybe you have managed to find an extension. At DMU resits mean there is a cap of 40%, but universities differ in terms of the rules like the Liverpool rep said.
The best case is to speak to someone at your University. I hope you get the help you need. Wish you the best of luck
All the best,
Tianna
