Reassessment provides you with a further opportunity to take and pass an assessment activity that you have attempted but not previously passed. You will normally undertake reassessment by submitting an improved form of your original work or taking another examination with different questions on the same subject.
If you are granted a reassessment, this is known as a referral; Your mark for that reassessment activity will be capped at the pass mark (40% for Foundation Years and Levels 4, 5, and 6 and 50% for Level 7 of an Integrated Master’s award).
NOTE: Under certain conditions, you may be granted an approved delay, known as deferral. Where your first attempt at an assessment is deferred, your marks for that attempt will not be capped. In most cases you must complete your deferred assessment within the same academic year in which you first studied the module. If not, you will lose a reassessment attempt.
