    Hi guys,

    I know the exam results are out next week, but I was wondering does anyone know when the letters that let you know you've failed an exam come out. Even a rough idea?

    Have no idea, sorry for steering this off a bit but does anyone know how many you have to actually pass...i had 3 and im pretty sure none of them went too well for me...

    I'd imagine if you don't get a letter by Monday you'll be fine (sorry to ruin your weekend!).

    On the failures, I think you were allowed to fail 4 (over the 2 semesters), obviously having to make em up in the repeats. I did Business (5-6 modules per semester) so the number of failures may vary for different courses.

    Do they still send letters?

    I thought I heard [yes yes, "i know this guy who's sisters boyfriends 4th cousin..." etc etc] that they didn't send letters for one of the semesters or something?

    You mean in the summer to cover both semesters?
    That way it'd cover overall repeats....I'm not sure tbh, just keep the fingers crossed that no letters arrive home

    Max failure of 2 modules per semester thus 4 overall.

    They used to be out on a Monday, and they'd be put up on Friday evening instead in the student CV section.

    But that has changed now...I'd assume they'll be up about 10am
