Hey was wondering that IF I do manage to get a spot in UOL, is it true that almost all the lessons are lecture-based alone? And that UOL allows students to self-study? Thanks

Is the July enrollment session compulsory?

The UOL classes officially commence on August.
That means there's a whole month gap in between the enrollment session and class commencement.

(I'm an international student)

 

[darkhonour]

i never went for my enrollment session because i was overseas

not sure for your case, but i think it may be compulsory if you're an international student because seemingly international students have to do a lot of compulsory stuff at sim including workshops etc

yes UOL allows to self-study. if you registered directly with UOL, all you have to do is turn up for the exams. you can find the details for each course at the UOL website itself:

many of the rules that exist in SIM are created by SIM, not UOL.

Just got the letter of acceptance and forms (diploma in econs) in the mail today.

The dateline for both the submission of forms and payment is the same day but it's written on the form that payment can only be made after submitting the forms. Was wondering whether i can send the cheque together with the forms and envelope (containing photocopies of education certs).

Does anyone know?

For my degree course I just went down last week and submit the forms also to let them check through see what I missed out, then paid by card

Thanks for your reply.

I called the student helpdesk and they said that i can just send the cheque together with the forms by mail.

I don't wanna go all the way down just to submit the forms cause i stay in the east. Haha..lazy.

hello, what happens if u need 4 years to complete ur degree? does that means no honours will be awarded?

 

[Hoopslife]

I think a degree award with the different classification of honours is depend on the overall GPA you got right? Instead of how many years you took but also depending on the modules and number of times that you fail too.

i'm currently a student at SIM, if i intend to become a private candidate for my third year, do I just wait for the registration letters?

Would like to have some advice on the procedures for this, thanks!
