14 If you fail a module

If you fail a module 

If you fail a module, you have an opportunity to repeat it. Students must pay a repeat examination fee to the university in such cases for each module they are repeating.

Repeat assignments are posted following the release of second semester marks to Canvas and are equivalent to the total workload of the module you are repeating.  They are due in early-mid August (see calendar above).

Your transcript will state that you failed the module. Repeat marks are capped at 40% for most years. This in turn may cause a delay payment of your SUSI grant.

If you choose not to repeat your module, you must either leave the university or repeat the year. If you repeat the year, you need only repeat those modules that you failed (e.g. if you pass four modules in second year but fail two, and choose to repeat the year, you would only need to repeat the two modules that you failed).
