Overseas Resit Examinations
Newcastle University allows those students who have a permanent home address outside of the UK to take resit examinations in a British Council, or equivalent office, in their home country during January, May/June and August examination periods. Students should complete the online application form, which will be available via this page at appropriate times of the year, before the given deadline.
Semester One 2013
Applications to take resit examinations in January have now closed. No further applications can be accepted.
For those students who have already submitted an application, you should not make definite arrangements until you have received confirmation your application has been approved; this will be week commencing 10 December 2012.
Where can I take my resit examinations?
Examinations must be taken in British Council offices which are established and reliable examination centres. The British Council have offices in many cities around the world, please check their web site for addresses and contact information.
How much will it cost?
An administration charge of £50 per examination will be payable to the University. You will receive instructions on how to pay this when your application has been approved. The British Council will also charge a fee for invigilation and use of their premises. Fees differ between offices. Contact your chosen British Council office for information on local charges. You must pay both University and British Council fees before your examination takes place. If payment is not received, the examination(s) will be cancelled.
What happens if I don’t take my resit examination?
If you do not take an overseas resit examination which has been arranged for you, you will receive a mark of ‘0’. The same rules apply to all examinations whether they are held on or off campus.
