[Academic] General Board resit results

[Colin Whyte]

Alison

Apologies for adding to your workload, I guess you’ll have a lot of these sorts of enquiries right now , but I have a student looking to take a year out. What are their options?

They just finished 2nd year, sat 3 exams over summer 2 of which they passed.
The third exam (quantum?) they sat over summer was a first attempt due to extenuating circumstances, but they failed.
They want to ‘take a year out’ to do remedial work on their failed  subject.
I advised that it was not necessarily a great idea to take a year out and that at the very least they would need a good justification to do so. I also noted that it might not be possible to sit an exam on their failed subject and have a year out.

What next steps do you suggest?

Yours

Colin

Dear all,

The General Board resit results were released today.

If a student contacts you to contest a mark which was awarded, or to question their progress decision or withdrawal decision, their only recourse is to appeal.  This must be done within 2 weeks of publication of the results letter.

Please advise students of this in such cases.  Details of how to appeal can be found in the student’s results letter on Pegasus.   We cannot change anything now on the basis of new evidence of personal circumstances or anything else.  Only the Faculty Appeals Committee can consider a student’s case.

If in doubt, please contact me, John or Gabrielle. Please note that both John & Gabrielle are out of office until Monday 26th August.

Thanks. Best regards,

Alison
