Re-assessment
Re-assessment takes place when the summative assessment has not been completed by the original deadline, and the student has been allowed to refer or defer it to a later date (this only happens following certain criteria and is always subject to exam board approval). For obvious reasons, re-assessments cannot be the same as the original assessment and so these alternatives are set. In cases where the form of assessment is the same, the content will nevertheless be different.
Original form of assessment | Form of re-assessment | ILOs re-assessed | Timescale for re-assessment |
---|---|---|---|
Reflective Essay | Reflective Essay (2,000 words) | 2, 4, 9 | referral/deferral period |
Video Interview Responses | Video Interview Responses (10 minutes) | 2, 9 | referral/deferral period |
Updated Curriculum Vitae and/or LinkedIn profile | Updated Curriculum Vitae and/or LinkedIn profile | 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 | referral/deferral period |

Re-assessment notes
Deferred students will be reassessed in the element that has been mitigated. Students will be referred only if they achieve under 40% overall. If this is the case students will then be reassessed in any elements they have failed.
Please note if students do not achieve 40% on the reassessment attempt, they will be put on to the three year variant of their programme. This module will appear on your transcript as a fail, and you will no longer have ‘with Legal Placement’ in your degree title.
