BSc Progression policy
1. All decisions on progression within BSc programmes will be taken by the School Examination Board. In line with University Regulations, the School Exceptional Circumstances Committee will make recommendations to the School Examination Board regarding any cases where exceptional circumstances a have been submitted to the School for consideration.
2. A student who has failed one module (up to 20 CATS), or equivalent, twice at Levels 1 or 2 may carry that module into the next Level but must clear all Level 1 modules before progressing into Level 3, subject to approval by the School Examination Board and following a meeting with the student as per Study Regulation 1.3.6.
3. A student who has failed resit examinations in more than one module or equivalent (20 CATS) at the end of the academic year will normally be permitted two further resit attempts to pass the module(s) in the following academic year.
4. Students are not normally permitted more than one repeat year b, or 3 resit attempts at any module. Students requiring a second repeat year or failing any module after 3 resit attempts, will normally be withdrawn by the School.
5. Any student on a BSc programme who is absent from an examination without timely submission of valid exceptional circumstances a, will be considered to have withdrawn and will normally be withdrawn by the School.
a Exceptional Circumstances (from University Calendar 2015-16).
Exceptional circumstances for the purposes of assessment decisions are defined as unforeseen factors or factors outside the student’s control which may adversely affect performance, such as illness during an examination. Chronic conditions for which some students have received support and reasonable adjustments do not constitute exceptional circumstances, though a worsening of a condition may do so. It is the responsibility of students to ensure that medical certificates and other documentary evidence of exceptional circumstances are submitted to the School Office within three working days of returning to their studies, or, in the case of emergencies which arose during examinations, by the published deadline. Boards of Examiners are not obliged to consider any medical certificate or evidence of exceptional circumstances presented after the published deadline.
b Where a repeat year is defined as one required to be taken by a student due to more than 20 outstanding CATS points.
