Non-Block Teaching Students:  Postgraduate (Master’s) – allowed for just one re-sit on each module  Undergraduate (Bachelor’s)  – allowed up to 60 credits worth of re-sits. This is four 15 credit modules or two 30 credit modules.  Please refer to the “Other” tab in the FAQs menu if you don’t know if you are on a non-block or block teaching.  We understand that facing a failed re-sit can be challenging. If you are a master’s student typically, there isn’t a second opportunity for re-sits as per regulations – Academic regulations and recognition of prior learning (dmu.ac.uk). However, there are exceptional cases where a second re-sit may be considered, especially in extenuating and serious circumstances. If you have such circumstances, please email us explaining what has affected you and we will look into. Attach any relevant evidence in your email, such as medical records.  For information on what qualifies as difficult circumstances, refer to the Difficult Circumstances section in the FAQs. Please note that these circumstances must have directly affected your ability to perform well in your studies. If they don’t affect your studies directly, we won’t consider those. Please note that we will always ask for evidence. Please note we can’t guarantee that your request will be considered even if your circumstances affected your studies as we don’t make that decision. The decision for majority of the time will be made by Associate Professor for Student Experience and/or Associate Dean Academic as well as other senior member of staff.  If you didn’t have any extenuating circumstances your only options can be found below: 1.
