Erasmus and QCA issues

    Okay so I got my results and I sort of knew I'd fail one. And surprise surprise, I failed it! There was personal circumstances as to why I failed it though and I've been told an I grade could be an option which I intend on looking into.

    My problem is that I didn't secure a 2.0 QCA (1.88) and for my Erasmus which will be in Jan/Feb of next year (2016) I need at least a 2,0. I've emailed my course director and I'm waiting to hear back but I'm wondering does my whole end of year QCA count towards a spring Erasmus or am I royally screwed and doomed to a QCA of 1.88 and a semester stuck here rather than mainland Europe somewhere? If I pull my socks up and get a great QCA this semester and resit the fail, I should be eligible for the 2016 spring Erasmus?

    Any help or info would be appreciated considering that UL have ****ed up the exam response so badly and they won't even talk to me until the proper, final results our out!

    Thanks in advance kind souls
    xoxo

    Well you won't be able to progress to next year regardless if you don't get 2.0 or above, Erasmus or not.

    Do well this semester and you will be able to repeat the fail in August. Repeats are capped at C3

    By the way, QCA doesn't really matter so much for Erasmus. I know if you are looking to go to the UK for it there are few places and lots of competition so those with highest QCA get those. Otherwise elsewhere typically supply meets demand.

    Thank you so much! I'm applying for an I Grade so hopefully I won't have to resit a capped examination. I didn't realize that about Erasmus but that's good to hear actually!
    It'll hard work this semester that's for sure!

    Thank you
