Learners are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress during their course of study. During the course of the program, the learner will gain information on his or her progress from tutorials, classes, and the results of coursework and assessments (assignments, examinations as applicable). The overall academic progress of a learner is monitored by his or her Faculty / Tutor. Learners may be required to submit one or more pieces of coursework during each module of study.
If any coursework falls below the pass threshold this will trigger remedial action to ensure that the learner is coping with the course. Learners who have generally passed the module may not apply for a resit/resubmission to better their grades.
A module is failed if:

• the work submitted for assessment is not of a high enough standard to gain an overall pass mark for the module, based on the weightings of individual tasks
• no work has been submitted by the relevant deadline
• the learner has breached the academic regulations and a penalty of failing the module has been imposed.
  Learners may not progress to the next level of their program if they have not passed all compulsory modules at the previous level, and they cannot qualify for their target award if any compulsory modules are failed.
  However, LCA Malta is committed to providing opportunities for learners who fail an assessment to retrieve their position.
  Conditions to the same are:

• A learner who does not pass an assessment at the first sitting will have one opportunity to re-sit that assessment, within the appropriate re-sit period for the module
• The reassessment task will normally take the same form as the original assessment, unless this is impossible due to the nature of the task (in which case a suitable alternative assessment will be agreed with Academic Manager).
• The mark achieved at resit will be capped at the pass mark for the module.
• Where a learner is required to re-sit multiple assessment components within a module, then an overall judgment will be made about whether they have met the learning outcomes and, if so, the module pass mark will be applied to all the re-sat components.
• The full mark for any element of assessment passed at first sit will be combined with any capped marks achieved at resit, in accordance with weightings stipulated in the approved module specification.
• If re-sit opportunities are failed, a learner is eligible to re-take a failed module once, a fee will be charged for the same.­­
• Learners may only retake a module once, i.e. a module can be attempted a maximum of twice.
• Once an element of assessment has been passed, a learner is not permitted to resit that assessment;

Once a module has been passed, a learner is not permitted to retake that module.
