IB Retake
General information
-
All retake students must complete a contract and pay the fees associated with the retake before being entered for the exam.
-
Once paid, the fees are non-refundable, if you have a change of mind.
-
If you are a KG student (or a Danish student with a CPR number from another Danish IB World School e.g. Nyborg) and you pass the IB Diploma Programme, in your first retake session then we will refund the administration fee of 2250kr.
-
The administration fee will not be refunded in future retake exam sessions.
-
If you are retaking solely to improve a grade (s), even though you have passed, then the administration fee will not be refunded.
Compulsory contract and payment conditions for May retakes
Students will not be registered as full-time students or have the right to receive SU, unless otherwise agreed with the IB Coordinator.
Administration fee (per retake session)
Administration fee 2250 kr: to cover costs for coordinating the exam process e.g. communication including mails and meetings, organizing the exam schedule, access to a textbook.
