What should I do if a UK student fails the course?

If you fail the course, you can apply for EC to strive for the opportunity to delay or resubmit.

If you fail the exam, there are two main situations.

One is that the school has a make-up test, pay attention to the make-up test time notified by email, and prepare well.

The second situation is that the school does not allow the failure of the subject:

1. In the case that the school does not allow you to fail the course, you can see if there is an opportunity to retake, but you need to pay a fee for retake, the school and major are different, the fees are different, and the specific content needs to be checked by international students on the official website of the college.

2. You can also appeal the results, ask the teacher to raise the score or give you the opportunity to make up the exam. It should be noted that the reasons for submitting the complaint must be tenable, the facts must be objectively stated, the attitude should be modest, and the complaint letter should not be mixed with subjective emotions.

3. If you really can't get the make-up exam, you can only consider transferring schools or changing majors.

It should be emphasized that each school has different regulations for failing courses, and international students must carefully read the relevant regulations of the school after receiving the notice of failure from the school, contact the teacher in time, and actively find solutions.

Studying in the UK is a tricky one, but it's not an unsolvable problem. Let me answer your question in detail.

1.How to remedy?

If you are faced with a failed course, you first need to confirm which course or exam you did not pass. Next, there are several remedies you can consider:

1) Rebuild. If your university offers the opportunity to retake, then you may choose to retake the course or exam. However, it is important to note that universities may have different regulations, and you need to read them carefully.

2) Retake the exam. If you fail an exam or course that offers the opportunity to retake it, then you may choose to take a retake. It is important to note that retakes are usually only available within a certain period of time, and sometimes there is an additional fee for retakes.

3) Re-reading. If you failed a required course and you were unable to retake or retake it within that semester, you may want to consider retaking it. It is important to note that retaking may require you to pay additional tuition fees and will affect your graduation time.

2.Complaint.

If you don't think your test results match your reality, you may want to consider appealing to the school. It is important to note that each school has different grievance rules and requirements, and you need to read the school's policies and grievance process carefully. Before submitting your appeal, you need to identify your reasons and evidence, and prepare the appropriate materials.

Some schools may require you to attend an interview or review to ensure you are well prepared.

Here I would also like to remind students that under the premise of complete inexperience, appeal is very easy to fail, the language is not clear, the timeline is not right, the reason is not sufficient, there are logical loopholes, the evidence is not enough, etc., will cause the appeal to fail, if you have no experience, it is recommended not to reply to the school email at will or blindly start the appeal by yourself, because once you fail, it will be more difficult to explain later. If you are not sure about the special circumstances of your application, it is recommended to find a professional organization to solve it, such as Hans Education in the UK, and the success rate of appeals is more than 95%.

First of all, let's take a look at the general reasons for failing the course.

The major is too difficult, and it is unavoidable to fail the course.

Several majors that are more difficult to graduate from abroad:

Engineering majors, mechanical engineering always have endless drawings, computer engineering in advance to feel the sadness of code farmers, **know me but forget it.

Economics major: As a person who has never had a few mathematics majors, it is inevitable that there will be some failures here.

Physics, Life Sciences: Regardless of the difficulty of the course content, rigor is a compulsory course for those who wear lab coats to do research in the future, so the professor will only allow those who are driven crazy to pass successfully.

Usually the performance is too poor, and the professor's impression is zero.

Take the United States as an example, a student's final score is determined by: attendance, homework, class quizzes, midterm and final exams, special projects, classroom performance, etc., and many international students feel that it doesn't matter if they usually go to class or not, let their classmates help answer it, and just review it before the final exam. However, the grades at the end of the semester in foreign countries only account for 20%-40% of the total grade of the course, so if you don't accumulate it, it is really difficult to avoid failing the course.

Academic dishonesty.

This is the most direct reason, many students because they do not understand some cheating rules abroad, some things that are allowed in China (such as the same assignment, you have submitted it once in this course, but the homework requirements of another course are not much different from the previous homework, so you find that you only need to modify it slightly, and you can hand it over to the professor of another course, and this behavior will also be recognized as cheating), but it has become cheating abroad, but this cannot depend on the school, After all, you should abide by other people's rules in other people's territory, which is the so-called local custom.

Key points of the appeal of the failed department:

1. Find the reason for failing the course first.

Now look for the reason on your test paper to see if there is any mistake in the teacher's assessment of the score, and if so, you can get in touch with the teacher in charge of the course and ask to see the original of your test paper or directly with the teacher to make an informal appeal to see if the score can be changed back.

If it is not the teacher's grading error, but also because of the abnormal performance of the exam, at this time, we need to prepare a suitable reason for appeal, such as physical discomfort, family changes, etc., which have been affected by force majeure, resulting in the failure of the exam.

2. Collect appeal materials.

After the grounds for the appeal have been determined, it is necessary to prepare relevant evidence, and if it is due to physical discomfort, then a certificate issued by a doctor is required.

However, it should be noted that do not use the certificate issued by the same doctor as the classmate, there have been such cases before, and the result is also obvious, and the appeal of both students has failed.

3. Write a letter of appeal.

When writing a letter of appeal, it is necessary to have a position, which students must make clear, if they simply question the scores given by the school or mess around, the school will not accept our appeal.

Another point is the use of words, in the use of words, we must also be cautious, in addition to not appearing basic word errors, there can be no ambiguous words, otherwise when you encounter some serious professors, it will only be counterproductive.

Failing the course is a troublesome thing for many international students, because it may affect whether they can successfully graduate and get a degree certificate.

First of all, it is better to see if there is a chance to make up the examination, and strive to pass the make-up examination, if there is no make-up examination, then there is only a direct retake, relatively speaking, the cost of failing the course is quite large, and the retake needs to pay the tuition fee, if there are too many courses, it will also affect the graduation problem, and it has become a trouble to handle the certification and the certificate of returnees.

If you miss too many courses during your study abroad and can't get a final degree, you still have a chance to make up for it if you need to transfer or return to China for development and need a real degree.

It is not considered serious to fail a course in a British university, but sometimes there are too many failures, and you may still be persuaded to quit.

After failing a course in the UK, first contact the teacher to confirm the school policy, whether there is an opportunity to retake the exam or retake, and if so, take advantage of the next opportunity and strive to pass it once. However, if you have failed the second make-up examination, the school may give a penalty of suspension or even discouragement, and the international student can appeal. If there is any special reason, illness, etc., you can provide suitable evidence and ask the school to give you another chance to remedy.

However, there is no guarantee that the appeal will be 100% successful, so be prepared for a failed appeal. If you are unable to continue your studies, you can consider transferring or applying directly for a master's degree, with the main purpose of successfully completing your studies.

Here are some suggestions for your questions.

What should I do if I am persuaded to withdraw from my undergraduate degree and cannot graduate from studying in the United States?

1.Skipping the undergraduate program to a master's degree (especially for international students who have already exhausted a lot of energy at the undergraduate level, this is a very good choice).

2.Transfer (suitable for students who have just started studying abroad, if the major is not suitable, please reapply, don't go further and further down the wrong path, because the major will become more and more difficult as time goes by; If you don't study with your heart, then you need to be more attentive)

3.Return to China to adjust (a small number of students have completely lost their confidence in learning, then don't gnaw at the old, go out to find a job by yourself, but if you don't graduate naked, your education is only the highest degree before going abroad, you can try to keep a letter certification, and it is very good to complete the letter certification, which is very authoritative, can corroborate, and truly graduate. Finding a relatively good job in a medium or large private company is not a problem.

Failing a course in the UK is really serious, because in some schools, some subjects cannot be retaken, and if the credits are lost, they are lost, and if the total credits are not satisfied.

regulations, then you will not be able to successfully graduate.

At the same time, some courses are retaken directly without retaking the retake.

However, if the overall grade of the course meets the school's requirements, you may not even be required to retake the exam.

In addition, if the make-up exam is failed and the credits do not meet the requirements of the school, you will not be able to continue the course! There is no re-examination.

Opportunity! If you are not satisfied with the credits, even if you work hard to learn, you will still not be able to complete the course, not to mention that there are so many credits and elective courses, and I feel that I will fail the course.

It is recommended that you take a look at the credits and grades you have obtained first, in case the make-up exam is still hung up, and the credits are not enough, then it is really hanging

In some schools, if the assessment form includes both homework and exams, no matter which aspect is suspended, it needs to be re-examined, and it is resubmitted.

Finish. And there are a lot of expenses, which are also a lot of expenses, so it is still necessary to avoid the occurrence of failure in normal times.

If you have a need for tutoring, remember to send me a private message!

There are two most common situations of studying abroad, one is to fail the exam, and the other is to fail the subject.

1. Fail the exam.

If the score from the passing grade is not too much, you can first see if there is no possibility of raising the score, if there is any, collect evidence, submit an appeal as soon as possible, and strive to improve the score.

If you do not do well in the exam, you should review well to prepare for the make-up exam and retake. If the school does not retake the retake, you must also submit a letter of appeal to fight for the opportunity.

2. **Fail.

If Chi Bi regrets that he can't meet the deadline and is about to fail, he can apply for special circumstances first; If it is handed in and then hung up, then submit the appeal for a chance to resubmit.

International students in the UK can retake or retake the course.

Because each university has a different policy on failing a course, here is an example of what happens after failing a university exam.

Generally speaking, UK universities will give students who fail a course a chance to start over.

Students who fail the first assessment will be re-evaluated, while those who still fail the second assessment will not be given a third chance. There are two types of "re-assessments": make-up and re-exams, both of which must be completed within two years.

1.Re-examination: If there is a course failure in the first semester, the re-assessment will be conducted in the form of a re-examination.

2.Retake: If there are too many courses in a semester, then the reassessment will be carried out in the form of retake, and the retake will need to pay a fee and need to take classes + exams or pay **.

Appeal to the school:

Taking UCL as an example, there is a detailed description of how to appeal on the official website, which is called Student Complaints Procedure.

According to UCL's official website, there are three steps to appeal a student:

1.Stage 1: Submission of the Appeal Form (to the Complaints Panel).

2.Stage 2: If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the first stage of the appeal, you can file a reconsideration (conducted by the Appeal Board).

3.Stage 3: If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you can submit it to the OIA for independent review (the third-party grievance body is responsible).

UCL classifies the circumstances in which an exam result is appealed as follows:

1.The teacher did not follow the formal steps in grading.

2.Scores are miscalculated or misscored.

3.Due to special circumstances (e.g. illness), the student requests a postponement of the exam but the examiner is not known.

4.There is direct evidence that the examiner or teacher is biased or discriminated against against him/her.

If the first stage of the appeal has been made at the school and you are not satisfied with the result, you can also reconsider. However, the premise is that new evidence needs to be provided to prove that a reconsideration is required, and if you are only dissatisfied with the outcome of the first stage of the appeal, you will not be able to reconsider.

If you are not satisfied with the results of the on-campus process, you can finally contact OIA for an off-campus appeal.
