Who is allowed to register for External Repeat Exams?
External repeat exam registration is not envisaged in the new marks and standards and so is being phased out.
- Students who started their current programme in September 2016 or later will always be on the new rules, and cannot repeat externally.
- Student who started in 2015 or earlier, and who have been registered continuously, may repeat externally if external repeat registration is available for their modules.
In practice, this means:
Academic Year | Internal Repeat Only | External Repeat may be allowed if available in the module |
2017/18 | 1st year repeats | 2nd year repeats 3rd year repeats 4th year repeats |
2018/19 | 1st year repeats 2nd year repeats |
3rd year repeats 4th year repeats |
2019/20 | 1st year repeats 2nd year repeats 3rd year repeats |
4th year repeats |
2020/21 | All Students |
