An upper-year student who fails one of the two upper-year compulsory courses, but either is not entitled to write a supplemental examination or does not pass the supplemental examination, must repeat the course. An upper-year student who has not previously passed three core-group courses, who fails one of the core-group courses, but either is not entitled to write a supplemental examination or does not pass the supplemental examination, must repeat the course or take a different core-group course. An upper-year student who fails any other course (including a core-group course where the student has previously passed three core-group courses), but either is not entitled to write a supplemental examination or does not pass the supplemental examination, may either retake the failed course or take a different course or courses in order to make up sufficient course credits to complete the year.

A failed course for which a student receives no credit does not fulfill any Law program requirements and, more specifically, does not qualify as a course taken in satisfaction of upper-year compulsory course or core-group requirements.

A student who has completed three academic years, but is required to retake a course or to take another course or courses to make up missed credits, may do so in a fourth year.

Except as provided in these regulations, a student who passes the year may not repeat courses already taken in that year.
