Exam Timetables

feylya

Does anyone know when the exam timetables are released?

Dufresne

The first DRAFT is just doing to rounds now to make sure all of the exams have been included and been given the correct amount of time. These dates can change several times before the final draft but the majority of full time undergraduate programmes start on May 12th. There is no link to schedule as there are only hard copies available for inspection by staff in admin offices. I imagine some of the dates will start to filter through to students shortly.

AHhh 12th May is only around 5 weeks away, need more time!

Dufresne

Final Draft out last Monday March 31st and most have been sent out in post now. Feylya if you need to know urgently, either post or PM your course code and year and I will see if I can get them for you.

projectmayhem

Hey Dufresne, I'm trying to get the timetable for DT249-3. Haven't been delivered in the post and it's been a week since the exam office was emailed looking for them. This college really is a joke.

feylya you are better off ringing than emailing. I had a problem with my online modules registration sorted in a few seconds on the phone to them. Ring Eileen Byrne in Kevin st, 4024600

feylya

Excellent, cheers for the buckfast. I'll give her a bell in the morning.

Dufresne

Feylya - PM sent with details

Legend Dufresne. Ended up going up to the exams office to register... they forgot to tell us about the whole registering for exams thing. Oh, I do love DIT.

shakin

if you have registered should you have recieved timetables in the post by now?

feylya

Should have... Apparently I had to register for exams as did the rest of my class.

Eh I was told first and second week of September, I'm away until a few days into the last week in August and have a repeat to do. Anyone able to clarify this?

Repeats don't start until September 1st at the earliest.
This is because lecturers are on leave from June 20th until September 1st.

Dufresne

Cremo and BC both make valid points. Lecturers are usually not required to return until Sept 1st BUT there are regularly repeat exams held in the last week of August. It can depend on the programme and how many exams have to be fit into the time available. There isn't a day between exams like in the Summer and if there are a lot of options to be examined then this may take two or more weeks. Next years academic calendar is already available on the DIT website here and everything seems to be a week later than this year- eg teaching commences 22/9 instead of 17/9 so there may be some leeway there for repeats not to start until Sept but, as far back as I can remember there have always been exams in the last week of August. You could always get some repeat exams and look at the dates on those to see when your course repeats are generally on. If I had to repeat however I would make sure I was back and ready to sit an exam by Aug 25th.

I definitely had a repeat in August before, that was 2004 though.

becah

hopefully the repeats don't start until september... august seems a little bit too early to me!!
Does anyone know what the story is with registering for exams? I registered for my christmas exams, but I (or the rest of my class...) have not been told that we need to register for the summer exams, and we have already recieved out timetables... I'm in bolton st by the way, in case that makes a difference!

You only have to register once.
