Students must fill out a Repeat Registration Form and return it to the exams office by Thursday 25th July 2019 along with the relevant fee (€125 registration fee and €50 per module). Payment can be made by credit/debit card, cheque, bank draft or postal order.

Students who have attempted the repeat assessment in the August exam session and are unsuccessful are required to repeat by attending in the 2018/2019 Academic year.  Please note that the fees are as follows:

• www.smsi.ie

• The pass by compensation range is 35% – 39%.
• The pass by compensation rule can only be applied to a full set of results as approved by the Board of Examiners.
• The rule can only be applied if you have attempted all modules in the stage and it is your first sitting. Therefore it cannot be applied in a sitting of repeat attempts at passing a module.
• The rule WILL NOT apply if ANY of your individual module results is a mark below 35%. In this case all module results below 40% must be repeated.
• The rule can only be applied to a maximum of 20 credits out of a 60 credit stage.
•  It is not possible to pass by compensation for Dissertation / Research Project.
• The rule can only be applied if you will PASS the stage overall.
• The total number of marks, above the pass mark (40%), gained in the modules passed must at least equal double the difference of the marks being considered for compensation. e.g. one mark of 36% and one mark of 37% would mean you have a deficiency of 7 marks. Therefore, in order to be considered for compensation you would need a total of 14 marks above the pass mark in the aggregate of the other passed modules.
• NB: BA (Hons) in Psychology – Please note there is no pass by compensation for the BA (Hons) in Psychology Stage 3 and Stage 2 programmes.

If you have any queries regarding the pass by compensation rule, please contact the Examinations Office.

Please note that if you fail a module in your award year and have to repeat it, your overall will be capped at a PASS.
