SIM UOL - Help, cannot grad

[chloexx]

Hi, the modules I took:

Year 1:

Math1
Stats1
Introduction to Business Management
Introduction to Economics
Principles of Sociology (fail)

Year 2:

Innovation and Management of e-Business
Principles of Sociology (fail)
Management Mathematics (fail)
Principles of Accounts (fail)
Law of Business Organisation (fail)

Year 3:
Principles of Accounts (fail)
Principles of Sociology
Human Resource Management
Principles of Marketing
Information of System and Organization
Managerial Economics

I was told that the rules for UOL is 10 passes, year 4 I took Principles of Accounts.

I find it weird why SIM send me student PEI re-contract. then they said yes, 10 passes to graduate. However you will need to sit for all remaining paper in the final year in order to graduate. Which means in my year 4, I should also take on Law of Business Organisation and Management Mathematics which I've failed. Instead of just one Principles of Accounts.

Anyone knows if can appeal? Or opt for self study, what's the criteria for self study module and the cost for it?

It just doesn't make sense to me because if I were to enrol for this 2 modules, I don't even have to study or sit for the exam. Just fail it and I can still graduate. What's the point??

doesn't really make sense to me either since you already have 8 passes.

Hold on let me analyse a bit:

You reading BSc Business and Management? From the look of it, it seems to suggest so.

5 foundation units required to clear:
1) Intro Econs cleared
2) IBM cleared
3) PSOC cleared
4) M1/S1 cleared
5) POA failed, need retake

7 Further units required to clear:
1) Ebiz cleared
2) HRM cleared
3) POM cleared
4) ME cleared
5) ISORG cleared
6) ???
7) ???

You need 2 more further units and 1 foundation unit. I think it will be better if you go down to SIM and enquire. My guess is because you have not meet the program requirements i.e. 7 further units and 1 foundation unit.

I'm Bsc Business. The requirements is to pass all foundation units. So saddening to know cannot grad. Yes, got to go SIM and enquire. really doesn't make sense.

So you belong to the same batch as me? Anyway, one of the peeps in another threat suggested that the 10 units need to pass 8 rule might applies only in final year; otherwise will be taken as non-attempts. Might be the reason why you need to take all 4 modules.

Is better to go down and explain your situation to the admin there

You can only fail modules in the final year then you can grad. Fail any modules other than the final year you have to retake.

You need to retake those 3 modules. You can choose to deliberately don't study and fail 2 of them and grad but drop one classification. However you must go and attempt the exam otherwise it is considered a non-attempt

The rule seems weird if you look at it in a way that you have to take and fail in order to grad.

I think its an exception to a rule instead of the rule itself.

The general rule probably used to be that you have to pass all modules to graduate like in all other universities.

But along the way they realised that this might be cumbersome for final year students who expected to graduate but failed some modules in their final year. Forcing them to go through another year of school while already gaining employment between the time of the exams and the time results are released.

So they came up with an exception that if you failed modules in your final year, you'd still be allowed to graduate regardless. But this exception only applies to final year students.

Why your third year can take so many mods? Old regulations? If you are in Bsc Business you don't have to take LBO and MM since they are both electives.

 

[KuroI-Kaze]

So sad TS need to spent around 1k more just to take 2 extra papers due to regulation. Nvm la 1k give them lo, faster graduate with your toilet paper bah.

 

[Sadisticnoob]

If I remember correctly, there is an option to drop units (modules) without an attempt for exam to graduate without Honours degree such as Ordinary degree (Pass) or even Ordinary degree (Distinction) if you have good result.

Not in current UOLIP Regulations. Some internal colleges may have this.
