What happens if you fail the 1st year...

For a while now ive been in a downward spiral with my 1st year, mainly as it's 100% coursework and due to some bad choices have missed ALLOT of lectures/tutorials where critical notes have been given out.
I know for a fact that I have failed atleast one module (Math).. and i'm really doubting that i'm going to make it through the first year.
I'm sure if i re-did it and got my arse in gear that all would be good, as initially i was doing pretty good... but then just got lazy :banghead:
So, Generally what are my options? I mean what happens if i actually do fail this first year?
Is it a case of just re-doing failed modules in the 2nd year, A case of re-sitting the 1st year from scratch... or being kicked out of uni :crying:
I really DONT want to drop out, In fact it's pretty much the last thing I want to do, as asides from fucking up academically...i've made lots of very good friends and just want to stay here and sort out the mess i've created.
Any advice / info would be much appreciated, especially if theres anyone out there who's 'been there, done that...fucked it up first time around'.
Thanks for the advice/tips... right now I just don't know what to do...especially as if i do resit the 1st year that puts me a year behind and another X amound of ££££'s in debt

If you fail then, then it becomes more tricky. You won't be allowed to progress to year two, there's no doubt of that. You'll probably be invited to re-take your first year if there is scope for improvement. If there isn't, the uni will probably tell you you're wasting your time.
You are only entitled to four years tuition support- after that, you have to pay the full whack of the tuition fees, which is about £8000 a year for an arts degree, and about £12,000 for a science degree. And your LEA won't pay for a re-sat first year unless you can show there was a good reason why you failed.
For us if we fail any modules we are allowed to resit after the exams. If we fail one module after the resits still we're allowed to carry on and resit during the next year, fail more than one and you get 'councilled on your suitablilty for university life' - ie: booted out.
