What happens if I do not get enough credits?
If you do not earn the credits required by your university, you may need to retake courses or otherwise make up the missing credits, and your progression or graduation may be delayed. In some faculties or programs, passing particular courses is a condition for advancing or graduating. The timing of retakes, any additional period of enrollment or costs, and graduation requirements vary by university, so check the academic regulations or ask the academic affairs office promptly.
Key points
- Missing credits may need to be made up through retaking courses or other permitted procedures.
- Failure to complete required or designated courses can affect progression or graduation.
- Missing credits may extend the time you remain enrolled or delay graduation.
Things to check
- The availability of make-up examinations, retake schedules, costs, and progression or graduation requirements differ by university, faculty, and program.
