Failed numeracy 2nd attempt

Hi,

I am looking for a bit of advice and support and i am making myself ill through anxiety and worry. I am a first year student nurse at the university of hull, i have failed my 2nd attempt at the numeracy exam by 1 point, i am still waiting for it to be marked by the boards, but my academic assessor has told me that my studies will be suspended until i appeal the decision to resit it again. And to complete a mitigating circumstance form. I lost my sister in february 😞 and she was the only family member i had left. I continued with uni, while trying to grieve and didnt think it would have an impact on my studies. I have recently seeked advice from the wellbeing team as i do not think i am ok, and i dont think the bereavement stage has quite hit mr yet.
Will i have to resit the full module or will i have to re-apply to resit the full year?
My other worry is, if i have to resit the full first year again, will i still get student finance as i am not in a position to pay the tuition fees and will i still get a maintenance loan.
Any advice or support will be greatly appreciated

Hey there,

I'm sorry this is happening to you :frown:

I can only begin to imagine how terrible it must be to lose your sister. If you fill out the mitigating circumstances form, they should hopefully be understanding about this and present you with reasonable alternatives. If that doesn't work, you should contact your student union, they should be able to help you with any appeals and stuff, although hopefully it won't be necessary.

If, for some reason, you end up resitting first year, don't worry, you will get student finance (SFE covers an entire degree plus an extra 'gift' year).

Hope you're OK
