Level 1 students must pass no less than 100 out of 120 credits in order to proceed to level 2. Students may be allowed to progress with failed modules, for which they will be "compensated" and will still receive credits for. In order to progress in this manner students must achieve a mark of no less than 30 in any modules for which they are "compensated". 

Students must also have no fails in any of your 'must pass' modules. 'Must pass' modules are specific to each programme and are detailed in the programme regulations.

Please note that due to your 'must pass' modules, it may not be possible to compensate failed modules, and you may need to pass more than 100 credits in order to pass the year and proceed to level 2.

Progression with compensated credits is at the discretion of the exam board. It is not standard practice to allow students to progress with compensated credits until they have exhausted both their resit opportunities.
