2023 August Resits: Guidance for Postgraduate Students

Postgraduate students whose marks are still provisional in July can complete the Postgraduate Resit Application Form which is available on the Provisional Marks page.

See the Marking, Results & Resits webpages for more information.

Students can apply to re-sit from Thursday 13^th July.

The deadline to apply to re-sit is 12 noon on Wednesday 19^th July.

Resit fees are:

• £2.00 per credit (ie £20.00 for a 10 credit module), plus

• £50.00 administration fee. This is a one-off fee and is the same regardless of how many modules you take.

Resit fees will be charged to your University account after 31^st July. You will receive a statement of fees by email and must pay immediately.  Failure to pay will result in late payment administration charges of £20 until the debt is repaid in full.  For further information, visit the webpage How to Pay.

If you miss the application deadline you will be charged a £100 administration fee.

You can makes changes to your resit application form but you must do so by the following deadline:

If you make any changes after these dates you will still be charged the resit fees. Once an exam period has started, it is not possible to cancel any re-sits.

If you wish to cancel a resit you must contact the LUBS Assessment Team

If you wish to take three or more resits you must apply to take the maximum of three assessments in August. The remaining assessments would be taken in the following academic year (i.e. January 2024 or May 2024).

You must prioritise modules that are Pass for Progression (PFP), to expunge academic malpractice (plagiarism resits) and first attempt assessments.

The LUBS Taught Postgraduate resit policy is that students can resit a maximum of three assessments during the August resit period.

If you wish to take three or more resits you must apply to take the maximum of three assessments in August. The remaining assessments would be taken in the following academic year (i.e. January 2024 or May 2024).

You must prioritise modules that are Pass for Progression (PFP), to expunge academic malpractice (plagiarism resits) and first attempt assessments.

Please contact the LUBS Assessment Team if you have any questions about resits.

If you have been granted a first attempt(s) by the School’s Special Cases Committee, on the grounds of mitigating circumstances, you will be contacted by the student support team.

If you have submitted and are awaiting an outcome to a mitigating circumstances application you should apply to resit the affected module(s) where you have not achieved a provisional pass mark. Once the outcome of your mitigating circumstances application has been determined by the Committee your student record will be updated to reflect in line with the outcome of your mitigating circumstances application.

Please contact the LUBS Student Support Team if you any questions about first attempts and/or mitigating circumstances.

If you are required resit a module to expunge a plagiarism case you should apply to re-sit these in the usual way via Minerva

If you are waiting for some marks you can still apply to re-sit the modules you know you have not passed.

If there are marks that are not yet available, and you have to re-sit the module after the marks are returned, you can defer the re-sit to the next academic year.  You will not be charged a late fee for this.
