Student Services Centre
First year undergraduate students (excluding the LLB) need to pass three out of four units to progress to their second year. Second years need to have passed seven out of eight units to progress into the third year. For MSc students the rules vary depending on your status and programme of study. You can see the full progression rules in the LSE Calendar.
If you are not able to progress to the next academic year the SSC Advice Team will get in touch with you, via your LSE email address. This email will be tailored to your specific circumstances and will explain what you can do next. The message will explain options such as sitting your exams whilst un-registered and Repeat Teaching.
Providing you have attempts remaining there are usually options available to you even if you do not progress, so the key message is not to worry and wait for the advice email. The email will provide you with details of who best to contact with any further questions.
Please do not select courses in LSE for You if you have not progressed to your next academic year.
LLB students have separate progression criteria and a special resit period at the end of August. Any students who have not met the criteria to progress should have already been emailed about the next steps. If you are in this situation but have not received an email please contact the SSC Advice Team for assistance.
