Students may retake or compensate for failed or missed assessment activities provided that those they have actually performed account for at least 66.6% (two thirds) of the final mark and that they have a weighted mark of 3.5 or over. Students may not retake assessment activities in which they are found to have engaged in misconduct (plagiarism, copying, personation, etc.).
When publishing final marks prior to recording them on transcripts, lecturers will inform students, in writing, of the procedure to follow to retake or compensate for assessment activities. Lecturers may set one assignment per failed or missed assessment activity or a single assignment to cover a number of such activities.
In the case of retaking or compensating for an activity, the highest final mark that can be obtained is 5. If the assessment activities a student has performed account for 25% or less of the subject's final mark, their work will be classified as "not assessable" on their transcript.
Students who engage in misconduct in an assessment activity will receive a mark of 0 for the activity in question. Misconduct in more than one assessment activity will result in a final mark of 0 for the module.
NB: All information on assessment, assessment activities and their weighting is merely a guide. The lecturer responsible for the module will provide full information when teaching begins.
