Can i resit my second year at uni

Tuesday exam was not so good. I get my results in mid-june 4 weeks time , and then if i've passed graduate in July. Just before xmas i was confident i would pass, but for some reason all the coursework seemed to appear at once. Its just waiting the 4 weeks for the results now. However, i've already talked to me parents, about going back again if i have too, especially has i've got this far.

If anything, it will only be 1 or 2 classes to retake. The only problem i might have, if a class i fail is the tuesday exam, i can only retake it this time next year. Luckily our uni as a compensation thingy in place, so really need to wait till mid-june for results. Like you, i am too unsure what job to go into, which is why i'm thinking of working my way up, will get a local job whilst looking round for a job i'm interested in.

I work at an uni and would basically like to back up some of the other people who have contributed on here. The best option is to speak to your course leader, sooner the better, explain the situation and they will discuss the options with you. If you don't feel like you speak to them, then go to any Student Support Officer, your uni has in place and they could mediate on your behalf.

If your uni is like where I work, the board of examiners do look symphatically at any mitigating circumstances and it sounds to me that you've got a very strong case. Just go and see someone, they are there to help you. Best way is to do the best you can and appeal against any results you get from now on.

You can claim 'mitigating circumstances' and they might raise your mark a little. Loss of a loved one will be taken into account. I am currently doing deferrals from my second year- semester II, I had a family crisis and quickly went to my tutor told him, and we discussed different scenarios.

He suggested due to the circumstances to defer the exams till next year and I filled in a form which was sent to the examining board, I was then allowed to sit exams this year.

If you have got a counselling service see them as well they may back you up. At the beginning of April, my mom passed away after an illness lasting since october. Its devested me in many ways, including knowing the thought that my mom will not be there for my graduation, although she will be because she will be in my memories and in my heart. Anyway, uni have been really good, as my second year second semester work should have been handed in by the end of April. Obviously because of the illness i had'nt properly started many of teh units essays and so none of it has been completed.

Anyway, ive started a new job and so cannot do any work until i've finished the major training whihc is july. Again uni has been fine, and said they would work around me. Though I am terribly worried that they will make me repeat my second year. I just could not bear that thought. I just want to finish and get a job.

Equal consideration is over, and there is a lot of competition for places this year. Good luck!

Isn't this an option? I work at a university, with the admissions tutor in my department. Every year we have students wanting to transfer to us for a variety of reasons.

Many students switch majors and restart. Some take a year off then come back. You can apply for direct entry to 2nd year. As you have been out of education for 2 years, you would be considered a mature student and may be required to go for an interview at least in my department.

You would not be judged any differently because you weren't motivated enough the first time, or had no money. You're assessed on the current information. It's best to contact the student loans company or the uni's admissions department for funding information and advice.
