Business School Special Circumstances Committee

First Attempt
The School Special Circumstances Committee confirm that, if eligible, the student is permitted a re-assessment opportunity for the affected assessment for an uncapped mark. Where possible the first attempt assessment will mirror the format of the affected assessment completed alongside teaching. Where this is not possible the student will receive guidance on the format of the first attempt assessment. If a student is granted a first attempt via Additional Consideration, they will have the option to retake the assessment, even if they have passed the module overall.

Further Capped Resit
The School Special Circumstance Committee confirm that, if eligible, the student is permitted a further re-assessment opportunity for the affected module for a capped resit mark. A capped mark for level 1, 2 and 3 modules is 40 and for level 5M modules is 50.

Discounting of Components
The School Special Circumstances Committee may discount low weighted components of a module mark if learning outcomes are assessed in other components. This means that the module mark will be calculated over the weighted average of the remaining summative assessed elements.

Alternative Assessment
The School Special Circumstances Committee confirm that, if eligible, the student is permitted a re-assessment opportunity for the affected assessment for an uncapped mark. The format of the affected assessment will be appropriately adjusted to enable the student to complete the re-sit of the affected assessment. E.g. an affected group assignment will be adjusted to ensure that it can be completed by an individual student.

Repeat of Teaching
Opportunity to retake all or part of an academic session, with first attempts or resit attempts at assessments, including attending teaching.
