Semester 2 Exam Reults

joey54

According to this all results will be finalised by this Friday - http://www.dcu.ie/timetables/pdfs/_pab-june12.pdf

Why then do they make us wait almost a whole week til they release them!
Don't ever remember the waiting around being so hard. It's probably because I'm in my final year!

When's the repeat timetable normally out? Not feeling too positive!

Also, how much does it normally cost to repeat an exam?

joey54

€190 http://www.dcu.ie/finance/fees/other_fees.shtml

However, you only pay this once and that covers all the exams you have to repeat from that year.

The announcement of the results takes place on Thursday the 28th of June.

Those dates were for the Progression Awards Board meetings and not for the actual publication of results. As per the academic calender and the email sent out the results will be online on the 28th. I am a final year as well and I am nervous as Sh#t!

They take ages to correct them! We must be the last college to get the results

Anyone know when do we actually have to pay for the repeats and register for them? I know it's after the results are published, but can we do it immediately after the results or is there a certain date?

And I'm always of the opinion that you should really try and get your money's worth :P

Why are people talking about repeats already? There results aren't even out yet...wait till you get the results and then worry about the repeats.

Some people already have repeats from Christmas, so naturally they're gonna be worrying/thinking about trying to pass them.

Oh, well then maybe we don't have it too bad so! All my friends have theirs already so I just thought we must be one of the last!

That's what I was thinking. My friends in other colleges already have their results, all this waiting around for the results is driving me mad!

Konata

We're some of the last to get results because we were one of the last doing exams. All my friends were finished exams before me so it makes sense that I get results last.

It takes a bit of time between finalising them locally and then passing them on to registry so they can be published correctly. It would be a bit chaotic otherwise. Patience people! We are one of the last colleges to sit exams like others have said.

Also for anyone asking questions about repeats, if you just take some time to go to the DCU site, look around registry on the site, all of the information is up there. The same questions come up in here year after year, everything you need is on the dcu site. Take some time to read the SU emails around results times and all the info will be reiterated there too.

Does anybody know what time the results are published tomorrow? I can't find it anywhere and nobody in my class seems to know.

That's not entirely correct. They will be up around lunch-time as has been said in an email sent to everybody.

tigerblob You and your class need to start reading your emails.

When exactly is lunchtime? Seems a bit needlessly vague...

I think that was the point intended :pac:

I think they've purposely not set a definite time this time tbh

Cardor

Some people are saying that the exact time is purposely not being revealed, as it will help prevent students from logging on at the same time. This is good because it should prevent the website from crashing again!

I'm sure everyone will have gotten their results by at least 3 o'clock!

SantryRed

What? Everyone will be coming on earlier than usual so it will crash earlier than usual. It's fcuking ridiculous and they're a bunch of saps. Just release them by school at 9, 10:30, 12 or something like that.

True.

I got them as early as 11am before. F5ing to the max.

Websites crash when everybody does the exact same thing at the exact same time, not when everybody is on the website! Just like with twitter - it can hold millions of people posting on it's pages, but when people post something at the exact time (Like on new years eve and when MJ died), the website will crash! If people are told the results are out at 12 or 1 or 2, they will go on then, but if they do not know, there is no way that they'll be able to all go on at the same time.. unless everyone is pressing refresh for a few mins/hours - which, of course, could happen!

Saying to us on boards what the college should do is not gonna help in the slightest.. e-mail them with your complaint during the summer, so that the procedure can be changed in the future. I agree that the method you propose is better, but boards isn't gonna change it!

This is what I meant, I think it is probably a good thing

And best of luck everybody btw!

I'll be F5ing from about 11 until I get my results, I'll regret nothing.

bren2001

I have autorefresh installed and page monitor, it refreshed every 30 seconds and will tell me if there is any change to the page. Don't really care about the results, just want it to crash :pac:

I don't know why they don't do what they did for the previous few years, announce they will be released at 3 and then start to slowly release them from about 10. Before this year (and last years summer results), can't really remember the site crashing.

Results are up!
