❗️Early Reassessment Opportunity (ERA): Important Information❗️
Dear Students,
This message explains what the Early Reassessment Opportunity (ERA) is, who is eligible, the associated risks, and the action required if you are offered an ERA.
📌What is an ERA?
The Early Reassessment Opportunity (ERA) is a special reassessment held in September, before the new academic year begins. It allows eligible students with a small academic shortfall to reassess one failed assessment component instead of retaking the entire module through an Individual Learning Plan (ILP).
ERA is an exceptional opportunity, not an automatic entitlement.
📌Eligibility
Students with 20 failed credits may be eligible for an ERA only if they have one failed assessment component and meet one of the following criteria:
- Soft Fail. Core module: 30% or above, Elective module: 20% or above.
- Non-Submission (NS)
- Approved Extenuating Circumstances (EC)
Students are not eligible if they:
- failed more than one module or more than one assessment component;
- received a hard fail (e.g., below 30% in a core module).
These students must retake the module during the next academic year as part of an ILP.
📌Important Risk
Accepting an ERA means using your third and final assessment attempt for the module. Under the Joint Assessment Regulations, failure at the third attempt results in withdrawal from the programme. You should therefore carefully consider whether you will be sufficiently prepared to use this attempt before accepting an ERA.
📌Alternative Option
If you are eligible for an ERA but do not feel ready for reassessment in September, you may decline the ERA and retake the module during the next academic year through an ILP.
📌Required Action
All students offered an ERA must contact their Programme Leader by Saturday, 26 July:
- to confirm whether they accept the ERA or choose to retake the module through an ILP
- to acknowledge that they have read, understood, and accepted the information and academic risks outlined above.
