optional resit for failed 1st year module
Short backstory: I failed one module in my first year, usually this would mean a compulsory resit to move on to the next year however considering I did very well in my other modules (1st class overall) I’ve been allowed to move forward onto my 2nd year and the resit is optional.
This might be a silly question but I just wanted to ask if people think it’s worth resitting? My first year doesn’t count at all towards my final grade and this module (law) was not a core module so doesn’t really have anything to do with my course (finance). I was originally planning on skipping the resit but after reading a couple posts on here about staining your transcript with a failed module I’m getting worried. Will future employers be given this info and will they care? Even though my first year doesn’t count and this module isn’t finance related?

Hi there,
I think the best thing to do would be to contact someone in your faculty and determine exactly how, if you opted not to take the resit, this would be recorded on your final transcript. It sounds like you have been awarded a 'pass by compensation', but institutions can have different regulations in relation to the practicalities of this.
The only time I have ever had to produce the transcript from my undergraduate degree was when I applied for a job role that had very specific requirements and evidence had to be submitted that several core modules had been studied. I have never submitted the transcript from my MSc to any prospective employer.
Your certificate will have your overall classification detailed on it.
