Updated QQI regulation now states that if you fail a module in your award year and have to repeat it, the repeat grade for the module will be capped at a Pass (40%).

The capped grade will be used in the calculation of the overall award which will not be capped.

Please see page 23 of the QQI Assessment and Standards Guidelines

'When a module whose grade is designed to contribute to the determination of an award
classification is failed on the first attempt, the maximum achievable grade shall be capped at
Pass for any and all subsequent attempts and the capped grade shall be used in the
determination of the award classification, which is not capped at Pass.'

This does not apply if your record falls under COVID specific regulations regarding repeating as a first sitting. COVID regulations will expire in September 2024. The above will updated regulations will apply from September 2024 onwards

The Examinations Office will review and apply the regulations to each record accordingly.
