Hi,

I suggest contacting your module convenor first, as they will likely have the most information regarding resits and eligibility. You can also contact the department as a whole, but the module convenor is your best starting point.

Best of luck!

Hey,

If you're looking to resit an assignment, the best first step is usually to get in touch with your module leader or main lecturer. They’ll be the ones most familiar with the specific assignment and your situation. They can let you know whether a resit is possible, what the process looks like, and what deadlines you need to meet.

That said, if you’re unsure who the right academic contact is or if it’s more of a general policy question (like how resits work at your uni or if you're eligible), then it’s totally fine to email your student support or course administration team too. They can either answer your question or point you in the right direction.

You could also check your course handbook, sometimes there are specific forms or procedures you need to follow for resits.

Hope it gets sorted easily for you! 😊

You generally can't resit an assignment unless you failed the first attempt.

If resitting is an option that's open to you, you would expect to be told what the process is for requesting that resit.

I would start by asking your department/school admin staff -- arranging the resit of an assignment sounds like an admin task rather than something to talk to an academic about.
