				<p>There will be examinations or equivalent forms of assessment in all courses each year.</p>
				<p>To be eligible to write an examination, a student must have completed the requirements of the course during the year.</p>	
				<p>Any student who is not present for the examination of a course and who had not formally withdrawn from the course in accordance with the registration will be regarded as having failed that course.</p><br>
				<h4>Re-sit Examinations</h4>
				<p>Re-sit Examinations are offered to students only in the final year of their programme, except for those programmes where this has specifically been approved by Academic Board.  Currently the exceptions are Law, Medicine and Pharmacy.</p>
				<p>Resits are offered only to those students who fail not more than two (2) courses in their final year.</p>
				<p>Resits will not be offered in courses for which students were not registered in the final year.</p><br>
				<h4>Supplementals</h4>
				<p>Supplemental Examinations are offered to students who are unable to write a final examination of an examinable course (a course which is not a continuous assessment course) because of extenuating circumstances.  Death, Certified Illness, Professional Overseas Engagements among others can be considered as extenuating circumstances.  Proof of the specific circumstance must accompany the supplemental form.</p>
