    as an expert on igrades and repeat exams (failed 2 in first year anad have done i grades) i can break the horrific news that exam results wont be out until the 26th. last year the results came out on the friday before college started back but more times then not they come out on the first day in college


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭Rozie


    But wait... that's completely stupid. These exams decide if I fail or pass the year. Why would they drag us back just to send us home again? And how will I have time to register to repeat the year? Then again, they did expect people to get down to Limerick by 10 O Clock for the repeat exams, I live in Ennis and barely made it down.

    That sounds about right for the UL admin staff:rolleyes:
    Last year got a harsh letter saying i would be fined and kicked out of college unless i handed in my coop report,it was handed in weeks ago and i had a reciept and they looked at me as to say "you oh us money for our mistake". Suppose they have thousands of students to deal with so il lay off.Oh well - but we have to pay reg fees by the 30th so what up with that,not paying to them caus its non refundable and if ya dont pay you get fined!

    What about accomodation then!?

    Argh I really hope I passed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,708 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Yeah, the repeats are badly organised. I had to repeat one when i was going into 2nd year and I didnt know if i got into 2nd year or not until the first day of 2nd year. But repeats have an extra deadline for registration... From what i remember, its extended back to some time in early october.

    As for accommodation, thats a bitch. But unless you got accommodation after the actual repeat exams, it makes no difference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,082 ✭✭✭Nukem


    Just did a bit of checking and as it stands

    Grading Deadline Repeats Mon 12/09/05

    Grading Committee Repeats (non-graduating) Thu 15/09/05
    Results available on-line (Repeats) Mon 26/09/05

    :mad:

    you could email the lecturer and ask about the exam. i emailed mine because of certain circumstances and he mailed me back saying i did fine ( im presuming from that I passed)

    Repeats are out the 26th of Sep. I.e the day you go back. apparently


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭Rozie


    I think I've already paid for accomodation. What do I do if I don't make it?

    Also, if I email my lecturers, will they tell me what grade I got? I'm not sure it's a good idea though, as i'd probably do the QCA wrong.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 135 ✭✭Sergeant Horse


    No, they can't tell you your grade, only if you passed or failed.

    Sure If you dont get back in, then stay down for the year and work. Enjoy yourself. Or else you can do a link in in whatever you didnt get, or repeat the year. It isnt the end of the world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,082 ✭✭✭Nukem


    Just been onto my lecturer about my exams and was told my transcript is not in the pile for that showed up at the faculty meeting so i think im ok. Fingers crossed it the UL faculty meeting tomor for people who failed!

    Must get started proper on my FYP :D

    My parents seem to want it to be. The amount of pressure they put on me is unreal. My Dad said he won't pay for me to repeat, and I'm not in a very good state for working last now, I had to end co-op early because I was on the verge of mental breakdown.

    I could just about handle college if I was seeing a counseller etc.... But I really can't work for a year right now. So I really hope I pass.

    then doss :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 109 ✭✭natter


    Can you see your timetable before you get your repeat results? A friend of mine is waiting on hers and got a wee bit panicky when she looked up her timetable and got a blank one!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 135 ✭✭Sergeant Horse


    No, I don't believe so. If you repeated you aren't assigned a timetable. But sure she can get them off a classmate when she goes back, or else go to Student Admin and get one assigned


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 Party Haven


    timetables are out today on 19th usually if yours is up you probably passed thats what people say anyways

    yeah the proper link to timetables are up today thats why its meant to be through. thats why studnet services put them up today apparently. at the end of the day student services do what they want, so looks like all will have to be revealed next monday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,082 ✭✭✭Nukem


    Just checked mine and its the same so im taking it as a good thing:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 135 ✭✭Sergeant Horse


    I got mine in the post today. Hopefully that DOES mean I passed repeats


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,608 ✭✭✭✭sceptre

    If it means the same as it would have done in pretty much any past year it means precisely squat I'm afraid.

    I see this is the last time they'll be posting out timetables. Which isn't so bad as occasionally they're not all that accurate, especially wrt labs and those even-more-optional mini lectures.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭Rozie


    Ah, if I go into 3rd year I'll have FOUR 9 O Clock starts. That's really unfair, don't they know that you generally don't dictate what time yougo to bed at college, your neighbours do? Argh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,650 ✭✭✭cooperguy


    I have FIVE 9 O Clock starts!!!!!

    Thats just not right or proper at all, there should be laws against such things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭Rozie


    It'd be fine if it was school...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 guber


    Just checked the website there, the results should be up under 'sems' in the results page!!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭Rozie


    I can't seem to find the results page... all I get is the Module diet for 3rd year in student records. It says I must register for the modules... but I don't know if I passed yet!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 guber


    yea i had to register first for your modules next sem, then log out, then back in again and then click on 'student' on the side bar, then 'view results so far'!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭Rozie


    And does it display them?

    If I can register for modules, does that mean I passed?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,511 ✭✭✭Rozie


    It still says ****ing NG for both the subjects I repeated. Argh. This isn't fair. I don't know how I did, still. This is a pile of ****. UL doesn't seem to have any respect for people repeating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,708 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Oh, they do have respect for people repeating. After all, they are getting money from them! Nah, theyre just incompetent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,689 ✭✭✭shepthedog


    It seems they are up, If you click the very bottom option on the results so far bit on the student page..
