That's some good initiative Steph. I'll sticky this as soon as I figure out what happened to the rest of them.

Cool, any chance you can fix my grammatical mistake in the title?

question: i got an E in one of my xmas exams, but my GPA is 2.73, shouldnt that show up as a pass by compensation, or does it only do that at the end of the stage?

kplzthnxbai

Chakar · 10-04-2008 01:52PM

Yeah that's right. The minimum GPA for compensation is 2.0 or something like that.

MarkOShea · 11-04-2008 08:32AM

As long as you pass 75% of modules and have a GPA of at least 2.0, any E's you have will be compensated. They count as a 1.6 when calculating GPA.

Pride Fighter · 30-04-2008 01:03PM

All of my exams are in the RDS simmonscourt. Whats the story with that as previous exams stated whether it is in the main hall, serpentine hall and the pavillion and all that. Are the exams only in the one place in the RDS this time?

tribulus · 30-04-2008 05:09PM

Simmonscourt is the big massive hall I'm pretty sure. If you come to the crossroads from Sandymount DART station keep going straight on rather than turn right. Down on the left is Simmonscourt. Watch out for the pigeons.

In case you can't get into Blackboard through connect, try here

Which should always work unless there's scheduled downtime.

The link for the extenuating circumstances isnt working. I had to go to a funeral this week back home, which meant missing a lab and not handing up a lab book- just wondering if this falls under extenuating circumstances , or if id b better off going to the people in charge of the lab?

I was just wondering where is the Science Programme Office. There is a reception desk in the Science Building beside the main entrance to theatre D. Is this the programme office?

From Elements, turn left and go up the stairs beside the shop. When you go up the stairs turn right. Accross from the reception desk is a narrow corridor, program office is down that

Just a quick one. I need a letter from UCD stating when I finished my last exam for a welfare payment. Which of the many sections of UCD admin would be most appropriate?

I kinda might want to change courses.
I'm in 2nd year and according to the CAO website UCD only let 1st years submit CAO change of mind forms.

Anyone know what the story is?

nick23 · 23-04-2009 03:04PM

If i fail an elective e.g. a language and am not able to compensate do i have to resit the same language or can i choose a completely different module to repeat e.g. photography or something like that?

KangoSkank · 10-05-2009 09:51PM

Is there a link that fully explains stage X?

If not could anyone answer a few questions for me....

How many exams are you allowed to fail to be eligible for stage X?

Is stage X done alongside the scheduled classes for your course or does it have to be completed separately?

Thanks

Yes. Though I think you might still have to pay the 200 euro resit fee.

I think it's three from the one semester though I'm not entirely too certain. You're only allowed "fail" 2 (pass by compensation) in the year so logic would say 3.

It's done alongside your scheduled classes for the next year.

Kid V · 10-09-2009 02:08PM

Hi im late registering my electives

No they're group study rooms that you book with a group of more than two, not for tutotials. You'll have tutorials at assigned class rooms near your department. Go to your department (school or whatever it's called now), they should have a list of tutors, times, days etc... on the notice board, your name or student number should be on it somewhere and the room number and tutor.

25 for each subject (i.e. you take 5 modules per annum in each subject, then you've ten credits of electives which you can use any way you'd like.

There's a careers office next to the Campus Book Shop (i.e. after the main library on the left). From what I've heard it's shit.

Depends on the module in question, better off checking with the lecturer. It's not like America, you're exams are mainly on two times a year (Christmas and Summer) after that it's at the lecturers discretion on how they examine ye. I know economics are keen on midterms but the likes of geography it wouldn't be too popular.
