Even if you have taken out a HELP loan, this is a significant cost to bear. Your institution will have support services in place to assist you with any academic or personal issues you are experiencing. You might be able to choose a less demanding subject, take some time away from uni or simply drop down to part-time mode.
You may want to adjust your enrolment, take some time out from uni, start the subject again or explore something new altogether. Whatever option you choose, you should be able to access support at your institution — from academic advisers, your course coordinator and individual tutors and lecturers.

It is important to understand that there are many reasons why this can happen to students, and there are usually several options to change the failing mark. Students fail elements of their degree for a number of reasons. The most common issues are not attending lectures, not keeping up with course reading, confusion or lack of understanding of course content, and personal problems that distract students.
With all of the problems noted above, students can usually avoid failing simply by taking pre-emptive action before the problem spirals out of control. If the worst happens and you do receive a failing mark, you have several options. First, you need to understand whether you have failed an element of a module, the entire module, or the dissertation.
If your marks for other module elements are high enough that your averaged course mark is 40 or above, you will pass the module overall regardless of the one failure.
However, you may wish to re-submit anyway, in order to achieve a higher overall degree average. The opportunities to allow this vary among Universities, so check the regulations at your own institution. If you fail an entire module you are usually required to re-sit the assessments, either by re-submitting the coursework or, in some cases, by resitting an exam.
The individual masters modules are usually worth between 10 and 30 credits each, depending on their length and the amount of assessment required.

On other masters courses , it can depend on which proportion of the mark is made up by taught aspects or research aspects. In general though, as well as having to aim for a certain weighted average, you also need to have marks within a certain range.
Generally, this means for a pass, no marks under 40, a merit, none below 50, and for a distinction, none below If your course involves a dissertation , the mark that you achieve for this will also impact your final masters degree grade. Often, to achieve a certain classification, you are required to achieve that mark as minimum on your dissertation, for example, for a merit, your dissertation needs to score 60 or above, and for a distinction, 70 or above.
