    I presume you mean 15/20 credits? Well they can take them in the summer. The greater problem is failing in the summer cause the repeat(s) in a new academic year + if you have more than 2 repeats from the summer you're losing a year.

    Actually if they can't schedule exams properly now, how the hell are they going to manage when they have to factor repeats into the same session?!?

    Maybe I'm not too familiar with this new SnM.

    What I meant was, if for some reason somone couldn't sit their 7 or 8 exams in summer (due to extenuating circumstances), they would find them hard to carry over to Xmas (with another 7 or 8).

    But you seem to be saying that this would never have been allowed in any case (anything over 2 means a repeat year?)?

    If I'm way off in understanding this SnM, then don't bother trying to explain to me. Get back to study:D.

    Basically yeah, you can only carry over 2 modules from one year to the next. If you didn't have any repeats, you'd have 6 modules in the 2nd semester. If you missed all your exams, and that resulted in you failing more than 2 modules(with continuous assessment, you could have some passed befors the final exam if you'd done very well), you'd be knocked back a year.
