Resits

• Resits are usually available if you fail Level 07 and Level 08 courses. 
• The number of times you are permitted to resit a Level 07 or 08 course is restricted (usually three or four attempts in total, depending on whether you are a student visa-holder or not). 
• In some instances, a higher level course may provide resit assessment if a student has been offered a Null Sit opportunity as part of an Exceptional Circumstances outcome (but there are no automatic resits for courses above Level 08). Courses above Level 08 need to be passed at the first attempt in order to be awarded the credits.
• A reassessment fee may be charged (regardless of whether you need to be reassessed through coursework, exams or both). 

Reassessment fees

• If you are asked to complete resit coursework, this will normally be provided to you in late June or early July. 
• If you have been advised that you will need to complete resit coursework, be sure to check your University email and Euclid notes regularly, even if teaching has finished. This will ensure that you do not miss important messages about your resit, including submission deadlines.
• In general, extensions are not permitted for resit coursework, but you will be given the reassessment details with plenty of time allowed for your to complete and submit.
• Courses vary in the nature and exact timing of resit coursework being released. Deadlines are usually the end of July or early August. Make sure you know your resit deadlines and submit on-time.

• Resit exams take place in August (for all courses, regardless of which semester they originally took place in).
• If you suspect that you will need to sit a resit exam in August, be aware that you will most likely need to be in Edinburgh and this may necessitate organising travel and accommodation accordingly.
• Don't make plans for holidays or other activities in August until you have established when your resit exams will take place. It is not possible to hold them at alternative times.
