Resits

"I failed an assessment, what next?"

If you obtain a result of 'Fail' or 'Not Completed' recorded for a module without any extenuating circumstances, you 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 https://students.sheffield.ac.uk/repeat-period-of-study.

"How do I resit an exam?"

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

IMPORTANT

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.
