If you are a full-time student considering a Repeat Year application, you should first seek advice from either your personal tutor, programme leader or Head of Department. This is important as they may be able to put in place local arrangements (such as extensions to assessment deadlines) or recommend the deferral of some assessment, which might mean that you are able to continue as planned.
If, after discussing your position, you believe a Repeat Year is the best way forward for you, you can submit a formal application.
In normal circumstances, the Repeat Year scheme is evidence-based and sits alongside the institutional procedure for exceptional mitigating circumstances (EMC). This means that we normally expect evidence to support applications. However, because of the current Covid-19 pandemic, we will not expect any Repeat Year applications to include independent evidence for 2020/21. Applications will be accepted on the basis of your confirmation to us that your studies have been impacted and that you seek to complete the level/year again.
While the requirement for evidence has been removed, applications will still be subject to the following conditions:
- That the level of study is being offered by the University for the programme you wish to Repeat next year
- You are not able to Repeat for a second time if you are in year 2 (level 5) or year 3 (level 6)
- The normal fee for a Repeat Year applies
