Failed Resit in Second Year? De Montfort University

I'm currently studying Business Information Systems at De Montfort University, I am worried that I may have failed my IT service management module, or that the marks may sit in the 30% area. The resit submission was my first submission at all for this 100% coursework module, because at the original assignment due date I was suffering from high anxiety which has peaked and lasted a long while throughout this Covid-19 pandemic. It has started to get better since I've returned home from university. I've explained this to my module leader for reasons on the late submission. My first year I was able to progress with one math module in the 30% area using credits. I'm not sure how many credits I have left but in the worst case scenario, would I fail the entire year if I happen not to pass this module, despite passing all my others?

From experience, if it is 30% score only in one to two modules they let you pass, as long as your course is not accredited and the module is not a must pass module, you get compensated credits usually. The best person to usually answer this is your course administrator, however in my experience they will never give a clear answer as ultimately you have to wait for your final results and they can never say official whether you will pass or not. I found out this year in a similar situation, they took a failed module I did last year (below 30%) added that to the one I did above 30% this year then averaged the two marks making the mark lower, I had no idea they were going to do that, so if you do end up resitting make sure you are clear how the regrading will work, luckily I still passed but it was a very thin line.
