    Yeah, you can progress to Stage 2 with 50 credits. The leftover credits from stage 1 will have to be made up later. You won't graduate until you have completed them. Tbh though since you are taking 6 months to a year out to do these repeats, you are foolish not to do them all at once and get them out of the way. Also if any of the failed modules are core modules, you are going to encounter problems down the road.

    Would you be eligible to compensate the remaining credits?

    If one of them is a resit, you can drop it this semester and do it as a full repeat (with classes, assessment, exam, etc) next semester provided it's offered then. Look in the repeat section of module registration on SISweb.

    I'm not sure tbh. You should contact a student advisor. You can email them. They are really nice and will be able to advise you better than anyone here.
