Guidance on Resits

Students are permitted to resit failed modules only (i.e. for modules whereby the overall mark falls below the pass mark). Following a resit, the module mark must be capped at the pass mark. If a student does not pass the module following the resit, they cannot be granted any further resits, which may have an impact on their progression.  

Full guidance on resits is available in the Core Regulations for the Common Awards in Theology, Ministry and Mission. The information presented below provides a summary of the permitted number of resits by programme.
