Following your end of Level Decision, the Exam Board may offer you the opportunity to enrol as an External Student. This essentially means you are entitled to resit your assessments only, during the next available assessment period. The assessment is typically based on the resit instrument for your module, but the nature of the assessment component will be confirmed to you following enrolment. Your outcome will also highlight whether your marks will be capped at the passed mark, or whether they will be uncapped.
What does being an External student mean?
Students who enrol as an External candidate will sit the assessments outlined to them. They will not have access to attend any teaching, attend campus or access campus faculties. Students who are resitting their dissertation module are entitled to one face to face meeting with their supervisor.
