    Edit: 3.08 - 2.67 Randolph, so missed it by .02. That's harsh - you might get bumped out of kindness before the final results maybe? Or you could try and sub an option/elective and take an extra semester to go up a bracket. Any compensated E's in there, those could give a hop if you repeat them and pass.

    Is it possible to pay and do a new subject over 1 more semester, even though I have done enough credits to graduate?

    I heard they interview you if you are very close to getting a first, don't know if that is true for a 2.1.

    Nope, you can only substitute or add in subjects if you fail one. I.e You cannot retrospectively do a supplemental module to boost your GPA.

    Yes, there is a 'interview' with the assessments board if you are VERY borderline.

    I passed everything except one which is an E. My GPA for semester one is 2.83 and for semester two is 2.3, does this mean I'll compensate for it? Please tell me so I can sleep :P

    Still 2 of my exams show IX grade. So if I pass them 2, and will my two E's be compensated? Because I have 1 F :/. Sooo unhappy

    If I got two Es and an F, can those Es be compensated and the F is a repeat?
    It depends on your GPA and the number of courses you've passed over the whole year. If you passed everything in the first semester, and your Stage GPA is over 2, you'll get compensated. The official line:
    Information from the General Regulations: 5.9.2. "Where a student has completed an attempt at a stage and has obtained passing grades (including an I grade) in modules accounting for 75% or more of the total credit required to successfully complete the stage, and the compensation GPA for the attempt at the stage is 2.00 or greater, E grades are considered compensated, and a final grade of E(C) is awarded. The grade of E(C) carries a grade point of 1.6."

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    Everything is passed, just those 3 exams and 2 still show IX grades, but I should have passed them I hope. We'll see. I'll hope for the best.

    Scroll down to the E grades bit here: http://www.ucd.ie/registry/assessment/student_info/ModularGradesExplainedStudents.pdf

    says if you've passed 9 modules and have a GPA of over 2 it will compensate. Not sure what happens if you have more than one E grades or any Fs..

    How sure are you of that, because I have a mate who did an extra module this year so he could disregard his lowest option.

    You can take on an extra subject during the 3/4 year duration of your degree. But once you have done your final set of exams, unless you get an E and opt to substitute, you cannot take on an extra one.

    I had a bad bout of Meningitis last year, IX'd all my exams, and tried to work out all the different variables. Program office told me that once you finish your final set of exams, that is it.


    Edit: Yes, you can take on an extra subject to knockout a failed/low one, but only up and until finals, and not after.
    Was you mate still doing other modules at the same time? Like still completing his degree?

    damn, me too, before I'm pretty sure it said E(C) when I compensated, even with the provisional results, guess we'll just have to wait and see :(

    Curse you, UCD!

    If you are doing an Arts based course, i.e the 'stage 2' that lasts two years, you will not be compensated until the end of stage 2, so thats when you finish 3rd year.

    You get an email/letter to let you know that you have been IX'd etc. I got mine within a week of submitting the form.

    If you don't get this, contact you program office.

    The provisional results for me did not show my IX's

    I submitted mine before the deadline but still haven't heard anything back. Does that mean they haven't accepted it??

    Sorry about asking something you'd already answered!!

    I'm doing my semester one of third year next semester, I've already done semester two of third year, I'm in zoology, so I guess that makes sense

    I'd say wait until actual results are released. If it does not show, or you don't get contacted by your school/college, drop in and have a chat and see whats going on.
