A resit may be taken exclusively in the four basic modules to improve a previously acquired passing grade. This attempt to improve the grade is only licit in case the first exam was taken and passed during the first examination period of a semester and in case the resit will be taken and passed in the second examination period of the very same semester. Thereafter, taking a further resit to improve the previously acquired passing grade is not possible.
