    Well you will be exempt from the ones you've previously done or applied to get exempt for. CIT is a bit crazy at moment, lots of people running around not knowing what going on.

    exemptions granted means u must go back and repeat whatever modules you failed before progressing into the next year! Sorry... though it does sound good when you read it first! Confusing us is what dey are...:confused:

    :confused: - I wouldn't say so. Excempt means you can avoid doing what ever you applied for. Unless I'm totally wrong now

    But I didnt do any repeats i passed everything. Was doing it by night last yr and transfering to day this year and had three rpls submitted.
    I initially thought it was grand but as I read further along the email i get rather confused.

    Heres the email..... Any ideas?!....

    Your overall result in the Autumn 2009 examinations is: EX - Exemption(s) Granted

    Exemption(s) Granted means that you have passed at least one module of the current stage (or year) of your programme, and you are therefore exempt from further examination in those modules(s). However this does NOT mean that you have passed the stage overall - in order to progress to the next stage (or to qualify for your programme award), you are required to repeat and pass any module(s) which you have failed.
    Your detailed module results will be available online from Friday, 18th September. Please refer to our earlier email sent on 31st August for access details.
    If you have any queries about your examination results, please contact your Department.
    Yours sincerely,

    CIT Examinations Office

    If it were me, I'd ask the chaplin ;)

    CIT are idiots with regards to straight answers so you will not know untill you ask your dept head for a straight yes or no answer. Best way is sit outside there office untill they answer from experience

    I got an exemptions granted email, rang up today and found I'd failed...

    I was repeating 2nd year this time around already (had personal issues and just sort of quit so I failed everything on my first time doing the year)..

    I can repeat the two modules (of the 12) that I failed for 500 quid. Not much money. I have my doubts wether anybody would want to employ someone who takes 5 years to do a 3 year degree though. Was asking my year head what my prospects were and he was pretty vague..

    Why would an employer ask you how long it took you to finish your course? All they want is your cert, O Degree / H degree etc. Prob be less in ur best interests to throw away 3 yrs and not finish at this stage, just my opinion!

    Mmm.. I'm 26 year old so starting over is not an appealing prospect. Maybe a qualification is a qualification.. I'm just afraid that the length of time it takes would reflect badly on said qualification. Better off to write off 3 years than do 5 and realise nobody wanted to hire you.

    might as well keep going so. people keep telling me it doesn't matter how long it takes to get the degree its infinitely better than being a drop out and leaving with nothing.

    i seen lads who dropped out after wasting about 3 years. definitely not the best thing to do by the look of it
