I already have to be on a plane home in August for Finance, let's hope it will stay just that one exam... Don't need any more problems! :pac:

Not long to go yet, I hope! Best of luck everyone!

Dealing with people/officials from DCU is torture.

Best not to get stressed though, that will just take years off your life...!

Alan Keegan just sent an email stating that Registry said it will be 3pm before results are posted.

Sure, they say 3pm every year, and yet normally they appear a good bit earlier...

Liopleurodon · 02-07-2009 11:11AM

I have
contacted the registry and they have said that the exams results will be
up on your portal page at 3pm.However I can still see the vast
majority of you hitting the refresh button on your browser every two
minutes from about 12 onward.

... God damn registry. Ugh.

It's past 12 here, so I better start hitting F5 inanely for the next four hours.

Let's hope they keep with tradition so

Getting very frustrated now... they usually are up earlier alright... I think the registry get off on this... Tis like having 2-3 thousand kids on Christmas eve waiting to see if they are going to be happy or completely dissapointed... Misplaced mother complex... Thank god this is the last time (fingers crossed) I will have to wait for results from DCU!!

Is it true that if you've to repeat anything, you only get a pass in the year?

what effect does this have on your degree?

Cina · 02-07-2009 11:36AM

They've changed that for our course this year. I know if you fail a subject but still get an honours grade including the 0 from that then you get the honours degree.

Could be different in other courses though.

EDIT: If you weren't on about final year, then it'll have no effect on your degree. The degree is based purely on final year, fails in the years before don't matter.

goodgodholmes · 02-07-2009 11:51AM

Thanks for the info!

I'm just finishing second year, but in my degree results are calculated 80% on the last two years (40 for second and 40 for third) and 20% on thesis.

Would a repeat in 2nd year, (and an eventual pass in the year following repeat), drag down my degree grade (due to the 40% counted for 2nd year)?

Glad it won't give me a pass degree at any rate!

Shiny · 02-07-2009 11:52AM

I repeated 2nd year and still got a 2.1 :cool:

BTW, what page are people refreshing ?

Portal page - Main, Academic, etc.....?

cocoa · 02-07-2009 12:01PM

I'm checking portal and the forbidden page

You won't necessarily get a pass grade though. Most courses in DCU allow people to fail a subject and still get an honours grade, so if you do fail one, and you still have a high enough average (including the 0 for that) then you can still get the honours grade for that year. I highly doubt they'd just give you 40% overall.

goodgodholmes · 02-07-2009 12:05PM

Ah right, that sounds much better!

Don't want my dreams of a 2:1 jeopardised by one subject I couldn't stand/pass...

Anyway we shall see at 3pm! (hopefully earlier, I'm going mad!)

Liopleurodon · 02-07-2009 12:09PM

Sitting in the middle of a heatwave in an unairconditioned office, waiting for results...

Christ... What did I do in a past life to deserve this?

Let's just see if it gets better, or worse!

I've started reading my essays that I submitted...and spotting mistakes....I wish they would hurry up!!!!

kevin_de_big · 02-07-2009 12:13PM

They don't really have a set time for posting them. People say "round" hours every year, because in fairness, it makes sense that this should be the modus operandi. I've gotten them as early as ten, and as late as four before. Farcical really.

schumacher · 02-07-2009 12:16PM

DCU is so messed up when it comes to publishing results. They leave you waiting longer than every other college including trinity and them they make you agonise for hours in the morning not knowing when they will come out. Why cant they just have them up at 9 in the morning!!

ermm, trinity's results are out tomorrow... And I'm sure if you'd prefer, the results will most definitely be online at 9 in the morning tomorrow...

Owen · 02-07-2009 12:24PM

Looking forward to getting the results today, even if at least to know if I have to repeat something. It's impossible to book holidays without knowing for sure if I have to repeat or not.

Good luck to everyone!

+1

The results should be out first thing in the morning... IMO at the stroke of midnight..!!

Give it another couple of years and they'll be out around June/July some time and no later than August:p.

Cina · 02-07-2009 12:28PM

Does anyone know why they're so late this year? Every other year they've been out 3 weeks after finished, around June 17th

Fyr.Fytr · 02-07-2009 12:29PM
