Thanks for the heads-up! It means I've got in while the server is in one piece. Considering it's 1st year, and how irrelevant some of the subjects were, I am pleased: GPA=3.37.

3.68 I think but don't quote me on that.

Glad the waiting is over. what a relief.

Hey folks,

Surprisingly for me, an E was my lowest grade and it was only in one module (so I'm reasonably happy), and my GPA is 2.9... Just trying to work out now how the pass by compensation thing works.

I'm reading here, and it says:

"E grades are failing grades, which have a grade point value of 1.6.
These E grades may convert to E(C) (pass with compensation) only
where you have completed and obtained passing grades in modules
accounting for 75% or more of the total credit required to successfully
complete the stage (usually 9 modules) and the compensation GPA for
the attempt at the stage is 2.00 or greater. Provisional E grades are
then considered compensated and final grades of E(C) are awarded.
The grade of E(C) carries the same grade point value of 1.6."

So does that mean that I won't find out if I've passed by compensation until I finish the second semester (and passed 75% of the modules)?

Yep, 3.68. 3.93 here, woo hoo

For those that can't get into Connect either try Red Alert's link or just keep hitting refresh, it let me in after 2 mins or so.

Clearly a Fresher posting right now, but could someone explain how the GPA thing works? I got a 3.4...

Riamfada

you did good

This is my first year using the GPA system as well, kind of wish I just had old-fashioned percentages again. 4.2 is the highest GPA isn't it? 3.68 is almost 88% of that so how can that compare to 70% as a rate for a first? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I don't really get it.

This GPA thing is pretty worthless if applying for a job/masters, phoned UCD, they had NO IDEA what the conversion from GPA to first/second etc is. I received a 3.17 which is either a two.one (as some people say it begins at 3.08) and 2.2(as some people say 2.1 begins at 3.2). Nice.

Thanks, got an E in one and that's a great relief.

pretty*monster

Ack, I'm too old to have to be transferring to this gpa lark.
I have a 3.60 and all I've been able to work out is that it's not nearly so bad as I was expecting.

Breezer to the rescue again (at least the second time I've posted this and I got it off here originally too)

See the attached spreadsheet - the bottom right bit is what you're all looking for. The bit on the left is pre-modularisation grades, the bit on the right is post-modularisation grades and the bottom right is what GPA means in the real world.

xeroshero

OK, so just to clarify - a 2.2 is actually an honour???? A low onour, just an honouir none the less? (kinda like a C in the leaving cert)???

Stepherunie

Danke - proves I was given the wrong grade. Gonna have to get onto my year head tomorrow.

Mushy

GPA of 2.73 for me. Nothing spectacular, just usual run-of-the-mill C average that I've achieved since 1st year of secondary school. Got a B in a subject I thought I failed, and a D in one I kinda passed out in:D. Gotta love arts

Thomas_S_Hunterson

4 for me.
</gloats>

No spectacular crashes as predicted though? IT kept it together with a sneaky early morning release of the results.

Yes. Though a lot of Postgraduate courses require a 2.1 minimum.

No, but they're currently having fun telling all the Health Science courses that we're definitely able to access a particular Blackboard course, which we're not.

From what I understand, any A grade is a 1.1, a B is a 2.1, and a C is a 2.2. A B+ grade starts at 3.6, so I'd imagine that 3.68 would be something like 68 or 69%. Since that's a borderline grade, and would usually be bumped up to a first in the old honours system, I'm guessing that's why it's counted as a first in the GPA system.

I got an E in that module... but from what I gather, I can still pass it by compensation if I do well in the summer exams. So what's the deal? I'm 'entered for a resits assessment'... what do I have to do now?

Confused, sorry!

BKtje

As it says, contact your programmes office

Dave!

boooo........... ill ring them tomorrow

maxi-twist

Do UCD give first class degree's with distinction if you do really well? Like if you get a 4.2 will it say something else other than 1st class honours on your degree?

Got that as well, apparently you've been automatically submitted for a resit. If you're planning on not resitting and passing by compensation then you have to go onto SIS (before 5pm tomorrow) and drop that module resit. If you don't, you'll be billed for it.

You pretty much have to decide whether you want to repeat the subject, if you resit the subject you will get a 2.0 however if you pass by comp then you only get a 1.6 (not completely sure but something similar). Just do what I did and cancel it, you're allowed get 3 E grades in one year.

TonythePony

When you say you're allowed 3 E's do you mean three E's without resits or 3 E's before possible compensation/resits?
