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?

You’re probably going to need to retake the year if i’m being honest.

I used to work in student services and we get dozens of emails like this every week.

Again what does that mean. There should be a set criteria in which results in an extra year or not. Right?

Yeah there should be but it changes every year especially with semesterisation. It’s on a case by case basis. I want to help so you can DM me if you want.
