If you are thinking about applying for repeat teaching we encourage you to talk to your department or other support staff as soon as you can. You might have other options, including interruption or deferral, and the university can help you to decide what is best for your situation.
There are two application periods for repeat teaching – during spring break at the end of the winter term and following the July results period at the end of spring term.
If you have missed the deadline to apply for interruption in winter term you can apply for a full year of repeat teaching.
Application dates change each year depending on term dates. The sooner you apply, the sooner you will receive your decision.
Please be aware that late applications cannot be accepted.
Spring Break application period
Applications can be made from Monday 7 April 2025 until 11:59pm on Friday 2 May 2025 using the application form below.
If your application is successful, you will be automatically deferred out of your Spring Term assessments and IRDAP if that applies to you. You will only sit your assessments once you have completed your repeat teaching the following year.
If you miss the application deadline you will be given some other options, including re-applying for repeat teaching in the July period. We will not keep applications on hold between application periods.
July Results application period
If you have attempted your assessments or deferred your assessments in the Spring Term, you can apply for repeat teaching after July results are released.
You will automatically be deferred from IRDAP if your application is approved in July.
Dates for this application period will be posted soon.
