Some of your modules may allow for condonement (also known as a condoned fail). This means you might be awarded a qualification even if you have a small amount of failure, as long as your overall performance is of a good standard. You will not need to be reassessed if you meet the condonement criteria.
Pass marks (and therefore capped marks) stay at 40% (UG, Pre-UG) and 50% (PG). Qualifying marks (PSRB) remain at the agreed level. If a module mark is made up of several assessment components, a combination of both schemes (reduced steps and 100% numerical) is possible.
Students who fail examinations held during Assessment Period 1 or 2 will be reassessed in Assessment Period 3 of the same academic year. Faculties have the discretion to offer the reassessment earlier than Assessment Period 3 where practicable.
