2. SQE1 Resit Promise

2.1.       The provision of a Prepaid Voucher to a Qualifying Student pursuant to these Additional Terms and Conditions shall be known as the ‘SQE1 Resit Promise’.

2.2.       The purpose of these Additional Terms and Conditions is to set out:

  • the criteria which must be satisfied in order for you to be eligible for the SQE1 Resit Promise;

  • the process by which a Qualifying Student may apply for a Prepaid Voucher;

  • the terms upon which a Prepaid Voucher may be used by a Qualifying Student; and

  • the other terms and conditions which apply to the SQE1 Resit Promise.

3. Eligibility to be a Qualifying Student and for a Prepaid Voucher

3.1.       In order to be a Qualifying Student and to be eligible for the SQE1 Resit Promise, you must meet all of the criteria in this Paragraph 3.1, in addition to any specific requirements relating to your relevant Applicable SQE Programme under the University Terms and Conditions:

  •  By the scheduled end date of SQE1 Preparation in your Applicable SQE Programme, you must have attended SQE1 Preparation on either a full time or part time basis, either online or in person at one of BPP University’s centres in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Leeds or Manchester; and

  • You must have attempted the formative and summative assessments during your Applicable SQE Programme; and

  • You must have sat both FLK Papers and failed either one or both of them on your First Attempt; and

  • To be eligible for a Prepaid Voucher to sit an FLK Paper at the Second Attempt:

o   the Transcript from your First Attempt must show:

i)  that you did not pass your First Attempt in one or both FLK Paper(s); and

ii) that you were placed in the 4th Quintile or better in the applicable FLK Paper(s); and

o   you must intend to sit your Second Attempt(s) of the FLK Paper(s) you did not pass, at the Next SQE1 Sitting.

WORKED EXAMPLE

If you did not pass either FLK Paper at the First Attempt and were placed in the 4th Quintile for FLK1 and the 5th Quintile for FLK2, provided you satisfy all the other eligibility criteria, BPP University would provide you with a Prepaid Voucher for your Second Attempt of FLK1 only at the Next SQE1 Sitting. BPP University would not fund your Second Attempt of FLK2.

3.2.       If you are a Qualifying Student, the value of the Prepaid Voucher to which you may be entitled shall be limited to the SQE Assessment Provider’s assessment fees at the Next SQE1 Sitting for your Second Attempt of the FLK Paper(s) which you did not pass at your First Attempt in which you were placed in the 4th Quintile or better.

3.3.       For the avoidance of any doubt, the SQE1 Resit Promise only applies to a Qualifying Student’s Second Attempt of an FLK Paper.

3.4.       The SQE1 Resit Promise will not apply to your Second Attempt of any FLK Paper any later than the Next SQE1 Sitting. 

3.5.       If you pay personally for your Second Attempt of any FLK Paper (or a third party does so on your behalf), or if you secure funding from any third party in respect of the same, you shall not be entitled to be reimbursed by BPP University in respect of any of such fees paid and will no longer be a Qualifying Student for the purposes of these Additional Terms and Conditions, even if you satisfy all the other eligibility criteria.

3.6.       If you fail to apply to redeem the SQE1 Resit Promise within the timescales set out in these Additional Terms and Conditions, or if you do not plan to sit your Second Attempt at the Next SQE1 Sitting, you will no longer be eligible to be a Qualifying Student.

3.7.       You will not be eligible for the SQE1 Resit Promise if, at the time of your First Attempt, you were sponsored by an employer (or future employer) and such employer (or future employer) paid your SQE1 Assessment fees for your First Attempt.

3.8.       The SQE1 Resit Promise does not apply to any part of the SQE2 Assessment.

3.9.       If you are provided with a Prepaid Voucher pursuant to these Additional Terms and Conditions, you may only use it for your own personal Second Attempt in the SQE1 sitting to which the Prepaid Voucher is designated. Consequently, any Prepaid Voucher you may receive is not transferable to any other student or third party, or to any later SQE1 sitting.

3.10.       Prepaid Vouchers and these Additional Terms and Conditions are subject to the SRA’s published Terms and Conditions for Voucher Purchase in force from time to time.

3.11.       BPP University reserves the right to offer the SQE1 Resit Promise to students who have passed an Applicable SQE Programme but who do not meet all of the requirements as a Qualifying Student for the SQE1 Resit Promise due to exceptional circumstances and in its sole discretion.

4. Procedure for Qualifying Students to claim a Prepaid Voucher

 

4.1.    A Qualifying Student who wishes to claim a Prepaid Voucher to fund their Second Attempt at the Next SQE1 Sitting shall:

 

  • complete and return to the SQE Assessment Provider or the SRA a Seat Reservation Form in respect of their Second Attempt by the end of the Seat Reservation Window for that sitting; and then

  • within 48 hours of receiving acknowledgement of receipt of the Seat Reservation Form from the SQE Assessment Provider or the SRA, send an email to sqevouchers@bpp.com stating: 1) their BPP Student Reference Number; and 2) written confirmation that they wish to redeem the SQE1 Resit Promise and attaching both:

1)         a copy of the SQE Assessment Provider or the SRA’s official acknowledgement of the submission of their Seat Reservation Form for their Second SQE1 Attempt; and

2)         a PDF copy of the Transcript from their First Attempt downloaded from their SQE online account.      

4.2.              If you are a Qualifying Student and you satisfy all the requirements of Paragraph 4.1 within the time limits prescribed therein, BPP University will, within 21 days from receipt of your email, send to you a unique code for your Prepaid Voucher (“Code”), the value of which will be determined in accordance with Paragraph 3.2.

4.3.              When you receive the Code, you must promptly, within the time limits prescribed to you directly by the SQE Assessment Provider or the SRA, use the Code to pay for your Second Attempt of the relevant FLK Paper(s), following which you shall receive a booking confirmation or payment receipt.

4.4.              Within 48 hours of the booking confirmation or payment receipt from the SQE Assessment Provider or the SRA, you must send a copy of such receipt or confirmation to sqevouchers@bpp.com.

4.5.              If you receive a Code from BPP University for your Prepaid Voucher and do not use it at the Next SQE1 Sitting, you will no longer be eligible for the SQE1 Resit Promise. You must email sqevouchers@bpp.com without delay and provide an explanation as to why you have not used it.

WORKED EXAMPLE

If your First Attempt of SQE1 was in January 2027, you would expect to receive your results in March 2027, meaning that your Next SQE1 Sitting would be in July 2027. The Seat Reservation Forms for the July 2027 SQE1 sitting are expected to be sent in early April 2027, the booking window for which is expected to close in late May 2027. 

5. General

(i)                           refund any part of your Programme Fees or provide a cash alternative to the SQE1 Resit Promise in any circumstances; or

(ii)                        provide you with another Prepaid Voucher for any later SQE1 sitting unless exceptional circumstances apply (to be determined at the discretion of BPP University) and this is agreed with you in writing.

5.2.       Neither the SQE1 Resit Promise nor the Prepaid Voucher includes any travel or accommodation costs which you may incur in connection with your Second Attempt, nor any part of the cost of your Second Attempt which is not covered by the Prepaid Voucher.  In particular, any SQE1 Assessment fees for your Second Attempt which are not covered by a Prepaid Voucher shall at all times be payable by you.
