Degree classification-University of Leicester

I’m not sure if anyone would know the answer to this. I attend the university of Leicester as an undergrad in my 3rd year and achieved a 35 in a 15 credit module (a fail). Still waiting to hear if I need to retake or I can graduate in the summer. On their classification regulations it states that they can give a “compensated fail” for some modules, not too sure what this means. I’m trying to calculate my grade and I don’t know whether to include the 35 in calculating my grade because I failed it. Would this mark be completely disregarded and shown as 0 if I don’t choose to retake it or would it be included in calculating my overall classification? Just worried about this because this is what determines whether I get a 2:2 or 2:1.

Hi,
I do believe it would contribute to the overall classification but some universities work differently and drop the lowest grade. Your module handbook for that module you’ve failed should specify what the guidelines for that would be, or you can email your module leader and ask for some advice.
I hope this helps! 😊
