[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 92612, member: 2672"] I don't want to create further panic, but the reality is yes, they could take your TC offer away if you don't achieve a merit. For them to have this term in the contract, it is important to them. If they didn't utilise it, then there is no reason for it to be in the contract. Exceptions only tend to be for those with mitigating circumstances. If it is a sponsored GDL with a specific provider, you should speak to your personal tutor about getting additional support to help you prepare for future assessments - the institution doesn't want to look to be failing you when there is a big contract with a law firm on the line. However, you should also do this if you are doing the GDL of your own accord or the firm stated you could study it anywhere. Utilise all of the institution's support mechanisms as best as you can and don't be fearful for asking for this help (or demanding it). You should also ask for feedback to try and find out how to improve your future grades. Don't hold back in pushing for this support. Also look for other support mechanisms (e.g. fellow students, reducing other commitments) to put yourself in the strongest position. [/QUOTE]
