Taking a Second Retake Procedure
Purpose
A student will normally be allowed to resit an examination only once. However, if in the opinion of
the lecturer teaching the course in question, the student’s performance in the original examination and
in a first resit does not fairly reflect his or her ability, he or she may be permitted to resit an
examination a second time. Application to be allowed a second resit should be made in writing to the
Dean and should be countersigned by the relevant lecturer.
Grounds
If a student fails to retake a course test or examination in the indicated time limit, the agreement for a
second retake might be given when a student can prove that he/she was not able to sit the first retake
or was unable to show her/his true abilities due to exceptional circumstances
Within the paid tuition fee the students have the right to take a course test or examination twice: on the
first date and then retake it. In justified cases, the Dean may agree that a student has the second retake
of a course test or examination.
Within 14 days from the date of a course test or examination the results of a course test or examination
are announced, the assessed paper can be viewed by the student upon his/her request. This rule also
applies to any other papers that are to be assessed during the course of studies.
Process
A student has to submit a written justification (See: Appendix) for his/her absence or bad performance
during the course test or examination within 7 days from the examination or test date at the latest. The
decision (See: Appendix) on justifying the student’s absence is made immediately by the Dean.
The completed Application for permission to second retake (See; Appendix), (with accompanying
statements and evidence) should be submitted to the Students’ Office.
An application for the second retake of a course test or examination should be submitted within 7 days
from the date the results of the first retake were announced
