failed module
Guys im scurred yo.
I arrived to Aru late, and from the get go i felt left out and behind, everyone had made their friends.. I had financial issues and got a throat infection that took me out of commission for nearly 2 weeks.
I felt deflated, and as I fell behind i was too embarrassed to seek help. Spent the year wasting my time, and by the end of the course i had only passed 2/5 modules.
this was a current credit score of 45/120, i was a goner, so i did the resits and then passed two more modules, one of which i got 70% and 67% but capped at 40% (I am such a dummy) so now i have 90 credits out of 120
unfortunately the one module i missed was a 30 credit one, and i had failed the assignment part, no time to go out and do it.
i felt so dumb and i know i will work harder next year, its one of those ones it feels like putting in the work will hurt, but once you do it, its so easy.
i am soo scared, if they decided to kick me out, i believe i am allowed to appeal
how can i convince the board of approval to let me continue to the second year, and prove my self worth, and not become another statistic.
i feel so down right now, all the money my mum has spent to get me on my feet, plus i would owe back the grant/tuition, my rent alone was 5k
i am so angry at myself for choosing such a dumb path.
also if everything does go well, i had been advised to only do 3 modules and my resit for the second year, instead of having 4
so in the best case scenario, does this mean i have to do an extra module in the 3rd year, or has my chances of getting honors gone down the drain too?
if anyone else is facing the same fate let me know, hopefully we got this yo!

I just failed last two modules of Foundation degree and confused too!
Now can`t move onto degree course i wanted to do
One was second attempt so can retake module with attend, but not until March
So your not the only one!
Think its different for each course so have no real answers about resits
The only thing I can suggest is talk to faculty adviser and see what they say
Talked to one and managed get myself on waiting list for a different degree course, so if anyone drops out i`m in
I think the key is to keep going back to ask for help If your still confused! They cant turn you away!
Think 70 % and 67% shows what you can achieve so seems like that is a good place to start with convincing the board!
Adviser once told me its in ARU best interest to keep people on as if not they wont get any ££££
Sorry have no actual advice
Just wanted you to know that your not the only one!
Hope it works out for you

ahh thanks for for the support mate, i really really hope you can progress, weather it's on your chosen course, if not getting to any first year course would be great too!
i have good news, since i passed 4/5 modules giving me 90 credits they let me progress to the second year, i will have to drop one of my second year modules to make room for the redo.
"You will have had one of your second year modules removed to make way for the retake. It will still be possible for you to complete your degree within the usual 3 year period, however in order for the Director of Studies to agree to you taking the deferred second year module alongside your third year modules in the 2016/7 academic year you will need to pass all of your modules next year with an average of 50% or higher."
its not ideal since i will have an extra module in my final year, such a shame.. but im counting my blessings and taking the W.
so i do wish you all the best
stay safe.

stay safe.Hi there! I’m currently in a similar situation and wanted to see how it went for you. I’m in my second year and I think I’ve failed the re-sit but passed other modules. Which course were you taking? What was the process like for you?

You need to ask your uni this.
This thread is 9 years old and many of the replies are at least 3. Rules could have changed since then.

Hello!
Not sure if you've sorted this already. So, if this is for ARU, I'd recommend speaking to your course leader if you haven't found out already. You'll usually be able to resit the module, but it'll be at a specific time. It can vary course-to-course when this is, but keep an eye on your emails too in case they've already sent you the resits!
For other universities, if you don't have a course leader, then I'd speak to any information centres you have, or try searching for their contact email.
Best of luck!
