Resits

If a student has a result of Fail or Not Completed recorded for a module without any extenuating circumstances, the student will normally be allowed to resit all assessments on the module which have received a mark of less than 40 or which have not been attempted. A further attempt (three attempts in total) may be allowed for level 1 assessments with the final attempt in the following academic year, though students must note that this will delay progression to level 2 and may have financial implications: see the advice at http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/exams/external.

Resit arrangements and instructions will be communicated to students towards the end of the academic session by the relevant assessment secretary and/or the University: important information may arrive via either route. The period in which resits take place is set out at https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/exams/exdates.

Aside from where the Extenuating Circumstances Committee judge that a student should be considered 'Not Assessed' and allowed to resit a component for the full range of marks, if a resit of any component is required the maximum mark which can awarded for the module is 40.

Aside from where the Extenuating Circumstances Committee judges appropriate, students cannot resit components where a mark of more than 40 or more was awarded for the module.
