Dear Quality Nominee
Your students deserve the best chance to succeed on their BTEC Higher National programme. If a student’s assignment does not pass after the first assessment, they must have the opportunity to resubmit the assignment for reassessment.
To help you manage this effectively, here's a quick reminder of the rules around resubmitting assignments.
Rules regarding resubmission of assignments
A student who, for the first assessment opportunity, has failed to achieve a Pass for that unit specification shall be expected to undertake a reassessment.
- Only one opportunity for reassessment of the unit will be permitted
- Reassessment for course work, project or portfolio-based assessments shall normally involve the reworking of the original activity
- For examinations, reassessment shall involve completion of a new activity
- A student who undertakes a reassessment will have their grade capped at a Pass for that unit
- A student will not be entitled to be reassessed in any component of assessment for which a Pass grade or higher has already been awarded.
Kind regards,
The Higher National Quality Assurance team
