We know that resits can be very stressful for you. Sometimes it is a helpful way to delay assessments if you needed it at the time but for others it can be the last chance to complete an assessment to either graduate or progress onto your next level of study, which can feel like a lot of pressure. Whatever situation you are in, we are here to help!
Your Union advice team have put together some helpful information for you below:
- All resit schedules were released on Monday 27th July via Surrey Learn and/or your module leader for the relevant assessment. You should now know when your assessment is scheduled (between 10 - 21 August) but if not, we advise you email your module leader and raise a ticket with the Hive here ASAP. You can also reach out to us if you are worried, and we can check for you if needed.
- If you are struggling with the upcoming assessments or have any other valid reason where you need an extension or deferral, you can still submit an Extenuating Circumstance form via Self Service. If this sounds like you, find out more about ECs here or get in touch for advice on next steps.
- If you have forgotten your student ID card and have an exam, visit this link here from the University to help you with next steps. Don't forget you can also drop into the Hive or raise a ticket with them for support.
- We have a page dedicated to each assessment period called Don't Worry Surrey for everything you need, including information about ECs, technical difficulties, revision tips, how to avoid academic misconduct and other wellbeing support during this time.
- As always, you can contact your Union advice team via our contact form. We try and respond on the same day, and will always respond within 48 hours. Your Union academic advisors are on hand to chat through ECs, if you are eligible and the outcomes available to you, as well as any other challenges in the Late Summer Assessment period.
- Thrivewell are running various workshops that you can join NOW to help you prepare for your assessments:
Managing Anxiety 30th July
Coping with Exam Stress 4th August
- Finally, if you are struggling outside of the academic side of things and need someone to talk to, don't forget there are a range of support services available from the University and your Union. You can find out more here.
Otherwise, we wish you the best of luck! You've got this.
