it's the 18th for if you are waiting on results for this year to start in October, after that unless you want to do a module that starts in February you'd have to wait until next october.

you'd be passed the deadline I believe so they might not be to consider that module

it's unlikely as you won't have a pass in the module at that point.

how many credits are you trying to transfer? i think they do it in increments of 30 so it might not be worth trying to transfer this resit module anyway

check to see how many credits the first year modules are on the degree you want to transfer to, as a lot of them are 60 credits so even if you did your resit you would still have to do a module anyway.

I'd give them a call if you can to discuss the situation but I don't think you'll be able to count the one you are resitting.
