Hello,
Since December I’ve been struggling with serious mental health issues. I didn’t talk to anyone about it either and I rarely attended university so I fell far behind. Recently I reached out and got help and I’m starting to feel much better, however, I’m way too far behind to catch up or even have a chance at passing my exams. I contacted my teaching office and was told that if I choose to repeat a year then I must repay my maintenance. I’ve seen that you can pay these in monthly instalments but I don’t know how much it will cost so I can’t tell if I’ll be able to afford it or not. The teaching office also told me that if I attend my summer exams and my resits, I’d have to pay that year back normally but my home is far away from university and I currently can’t afford to come up to university for the resits and then go back. I’m unsure whether or not I can get a job to make that money within July alone as my year ends at the end of June and the resits are early August.
What’s my best play here if I want to retake my first year?
Thanks
