In most cases, you will be given an opportunity to redo your assignments until you pass. Keep in mind that if you take longer than the recommended duration of your course, you may need to pay an extension fee. And if you want to register for an exam, you need to pass the assignments for the relevant subject(s) before the exam registration period closes.
12. HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY ASSIGNMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY THE COLLEGE?
You will receive an SMS notifying you that we have received your assignment. Please note that you will only receive this SMS once your assignment has been delivered to the tutor, which means that it could take up to 5 days for you to receive your SMS. If you submitted your assignment via post, you also need to keep in mind the time that it takes for the assignment to reach us, which could be up to 2 weeks.

20. WHY DON’T I HAVE TO WRITE EXAMS?
Exams are not the only way to assess students’ skills and progress. If you are studying an Oxbridge Academy skills course, assessor course, or moderator course, you will be assessed by means of assignments, instead of exams. Depending on which course you are studying, you may also be required to hand in a portfolio of evidence (PoE) to demonstrate the work you have done throughout your course.
