Hi Matadd,
First of all, try not to panic – lots of students worry about failing assignments, and universities have systems in place to support you. Here’s what generally happens if you fail an assignment:
1 Resubmission Opportunities – Most universities allow you to resubmit a failed assignment, though the maximum mark might be capped (e.g., at 40 percent). Check your course handbook or talk to your tutor to confirm.
2 Reassessment at the End of the Year – If you fail an assignment, you might be offered a reassessment during the summer. This can give you extra time to prepare and improve.
3 Talk to Your Tutor – If you’re struggling, reach out to your lecturer or academic advisor. They can provide feedback, advice, and resources to help you improve your work.
4 University Support Services – Many unis offer study skills workshops, writing centres, and one-to-one support to help you with essays, research, and time management.
5 Failing Doesn’t Mean the End – One failed assignment won’t ruin your degree. Most courses average out your marks across modules, so there’s time to bounce back and improve.
Try to focus on what you can do now – look over the feedback you’re getting and ask for clarification if you’re unsure. You’re not alone, and with the right support, you can turn things around.
You’ve got this!

Hi everyone I feel like my assignments that I’m doing at university are not the best and I feel that I would fail. If I fuel what will happen will I be able to them again or what
This probably depends on you university and how they do things.
I know that for mine, I must pass every module, if I don’t pass every module then I resit failed modules (regardless of what my overall grade is).

Hi there,
First thing to remember is not to panic! Failing an assignment or test is very common - check with your module leaders but you can usually re-sit /resubmit later in the academic year without too much hassle.
If you feel you are struggling with your uni assignments in general i would urge you to speak to your course leader about getting some support, whether it be content wise, mental health help, or just time management. They are always eager to help students in any way they can - it's in their best interest that you pass!
Hope this helps with the nerves

Honestly very variable and dependent on the uni/course/module/assessment how it works.
I would strongly suggest you speak with your personal tutor if you're finding things difficult, both so a) they can hopefully signpost you to various options for academic support and b) they can explain how it works if you do fail a specified assignment.
Also if there is any mitigation to be considered they can direct you on how to apply for extenuating circumstances

Hi!
First of all I want to reassure you - it's more common than you would think to fail an assignment - so try not to worry too much.
If you fail one assignment on a module but your overall grade for that module is a pass then you will continue with no problems. If this is not the case, you will be given the opportunity to resit the assignment. So there is plenty of opportunities to redeem this. If you are concerned I recommend booking a meeting/contatcing your academic tutor or lecturers, they will be able to provide you with tailored advice.
Hope this helps! Faye 🙂
