As a guide to the progression rules for Honours degree students, a flow chart is shown below. This should be taken as a guide only.

Re-assessment of failed modules will take place either in August/September or in the following academic year as an external re-sit. If you have a significant number of re-assessments then you should consider carefully when these are to be taken. The University regulations only allow one re-assessment attempt and so it may be in your interests to delay your re-sit examination until the next academic session.
It is important to note that if you have re-sits, for progression purposes, the better of the original and re-sit mark is used, but for calculating the degree classification the original mark is the one used even if it is a failed mark. This will also be the mark that appears on your final transcript. Therefore, it is in your interest to do your best at the very first attempt of any exam. In all cases both the original marks and those obtained on re-assessment are available to the Examiners’ Board.
If you are unable to progress to the next stage of an Honours degree then it may be possible for you to transfer to the next stage of an Ordinary Degree course. The figure below summarises the rules for progression onto the Ordinary Degree. For this degree, you take 100 credits per year (instead of the 120 for the Honours Degree) and the weighted average is calculated over the best 100 credits worth of marks.

Hope it helps.
