Will I have to repeat?

So I have not been able to attend any exams semester 1 or 2 at this point I have however completed all coursework and done well in each assignment. Uni policy says they can given compensatory credits, also refer and give resits if necessary. In each instance of my exam being missed I have applied for additional consideration which has been upheld but obviously exam boards will be meeting soon to decide progression. I just want to be prepared to what they might say or maybe be surprised?

Thanks

Hi there,

I'd discuss this with your personal tutor or another member of staff, as they may have knowledge of how these situations have played out in the past. They are likely able to give you the best advice as to what to expect and the steps to move forward.

Best of luck!

Hi there,

This really depends on your universities policy and of course what the exam boards say. Some universities will say that this is okay and some will not, but if you have read the policy for your uni and supplied the right evidence, it should be fine but of course they may still say that this is not enough evidence/not valid.

I would also agree that the best thing to do would be to reach out to your tutor or personal tutor as they can help you out with this and would help you with this.

You could also contact your uni help team as they will be able to help you as they will know the policy really well and can answer your questions.

I hope some of this helps,
