PREC requests submitted after the relevant deadlines will not normally be considered. If, however, you were not able to submit the request due to significant circumstances (e.g. hospitalisation, incarceration or major physical or mental incapacity) then submit a PREC request in the normal way as soon as you are able to. In that late PREC request you must provide ALL the following things: 

-  Provide the relevant supporting evidence for those circumstances detailed in that request. 
-  Provide a statement which details the reason for the lateness of that EC request.  
-  Provide additional evidence that supports the reason for lateness of that EC request. 

If your late PREC is then considered and granted, you must be aware that there will most likely be a delay in when you are able to sit your next attempt. This is because your request will have been received beyond the point where your requirements could have been included in the next natural opportunity to sit your examinations.  

If your exceptional circumstances have negatively impacted your study for the whole academic year, we advise you to apply for a Repeat Year, as soon as your results are published in July.

If you are requesting to repeat Part 0 or Part 1, you will need to provide an impact statement explaining how your circumstances affected your studies. 

If you are requesting to repeat Part 2, 3, 4, or a Postgraduate Taught (PGT) course, or if you are requesting to repeat Part 0 or Part 1 again (after already repeating once), you must provide supporting evidence. 

Things you need to know:

Please see our general guidance on what you should consider before you request a repeat year 

In most circumstances where a Repeat of part 2, 3, 4 or a postgraduate Year is granted University regulations require that, before a student can re-enter, they must be medically/psychologically fit to do so. This is known as ‘fitness to return conditions’ (FtR). 

If your Repeat Year request is granted, these FtR conditions will be noted in your Assessment Adjustments outcome and MUST be met BEFORE you can restart the year. 

The Repeat Year return to study process which includes any FtR conditions can take many weeks to process, therefore if you wish to restart your studies in the consecutive academic year, your repeat of part 2, 3, 4 or a postgraduate Year requests must be submitted no later than the deadline of the Summer PREC window and conditions of return must be met no later than 3 weeks before the start of the semester. Any submissions received after the summer PREC deadline date will still be considered but your restart date may be delayed until the following academic year (i.e. you will automatically be suspended for an academic year). 

FtR does not apply for repeating parts 0 or part 1 and the deadline for request to be submitted is your Resit Examinations PREC deadline window

Further advice and guidance:

- Seek advice and guidance from 17³Ô¹Ï Students' Union when submitting a Repeat Year request. 

- Do not enter into any financial commitments (e.g. accommodation) until you have a final decision regarding your Repeat Year request and your return to study date has been confirmed.
