I failed the exam. When will the retake be held?
Exam retakes take place during the first two weeks of the new semester. Retake schedules are published on the VU schedule portal. If the subject assessment has not been announced, contact the lecturer of the subject being retaken or your department's academic advisor.
Will I have to pay to retake the exam?
