Exam Registration

If you fail the ordinary exam for your course, you will have used one exam attempt.

Administratively registered
If the ordinary exam was your first exam attempt, you will be administratively registered for the second exam attempt in the re-exam period.

You need to register yourself 
If (due to cancellation of an attempt) the re-exam was your first exam attempt, you will need to register for your second exam attempt yourself, by registering for the course again when offered

• You then have to follow the course and pass any contingent mandatory activities in order to participate in the exam (your second attempt) in the following exam period in December/January or May/June.
  
  
• You might be exempt from the mandatory activities or allowed to re-submit assignments from earlier, but you need to consult your course manager about this. You need to be sure of what is required of you, to be able to go to the exam.

If you fail your re-exam you will have used two exam attempts.
