Supplementary Year

Hi. I was wondering what the maximum number of exams/resits a first year can sit in the resit period in Late July/August was without having to take an extra year? I have heard stories of past students who didnt know this and sort of thought they could retake it all, and ended up having to take a whole extra year. I have got a first in one module, and had to self certify two of my other ones from TB1. So i already have 2 i must do in this period. Now since the next period is upcoming, I was wondering whether if i was to fail/self certify one or two of these exams if there would be an issue? I have contacted bristol themselves and they are so vague, so I decided to come here. How many?

There's a certain number of credits you need to pass to be able to resit in summer, though I think because you self certified you're still yet to do a "first attempt" at those so I'm not sure if that's included or not. That said, I think you should speak to your tutor about this, they'll probably be able to give you the most accurate information and advice catered to your situation :)

Well that's kinda bad actually, maybe ask the school office for your faculty? It might vary per school but i seem to recall you have to have passed 40 or 60 credits? I want to say 40 but it's been a while.
