• Are supplemental/resit registrations permitted? Yes
• Students may opt to do supplemental continuous assessment over the Summer (details will normally be posted on the GY201 Moodle page, but students should also contact the lecturer), but will have to surrender any continuous assessment marks earned over the regular lecturing year if they opt to do so. Otherwise, the continuous assessment mark will be carried forward to the Autumn, without scope for improvement. Only those students who have officially registered to repeat/resit their module in the Autumn will be allowed to submit supplemental continuous assessment.
