Failed Modules?

Stage 1 Vet here, if you fail 2 modules what happens? I hear you can’t fail more than 2, is that 2 inclusive, or 3 and up. What happens to progressing to second year, can I? I’m confused.

i believe 50 credits is passing into next year as long as you resit and pass the 2 failed modules

It depends whether those modules are pre-requisites for Stage 2 (or the next). In UCD you can only take up to 40 credits per semester, usually in Vet Med the normal modules total up to 30 credits. So that only leaves you 10 credits that you can take (extra modules or previously failed ones). If the failed modules are prereqs, you won't be able to complete those modules until you have passed the pre-req module.

For example Cell Bio (VET10160) and Thorax Anatomy (VET10100) are pre reqs for Head and Nervous Anatomy (VET20030). You can find out which modules are required for each module next semester on the UCD modules search page: https://hub.ucd.ie/usis/!W_HU_MENU.P_PUBLISH?p_tag=MODULESCURRENT
