• Work commitments that are part an official work placement as required by your course

All International Resit Applications made by ordinary residents of the UK will require the approval of the Clerk of Senate as well as the appropriate Head of School, which will be sought after you have submitted a completed application.

If you are undertaking other commitments, including work and holidays, during the designated resit exam period, you are doing so at your own risk and will be ineligible for an International Resit Exam.

• If a suitable venue cannot be found, you must travel to the nearest British Council or return to the University of Glasgow to undertake the exam.
• Examinations must be taken simultaneously with those held in Glasgow. Where this is not possible an overlap in the time may be permitted subject to approval by the Clerk of Senate. Please note: Where there is a time difference of +/- 4hrs GMT it can be difficult to secure a location in which to hold the examination at the same time as Glasgow and therefore it may not be possible to hold examinations in these countries.
