academic transcript and switching degrees (1 Viewer)

[lexie85]

If i change degrees will my old degree results still show on my transcript ? is there any way to get rid of old fails ??

Yes it will appear on your transcript, as far as I know the only way to get it 'wiped' is to change institutions.

If you repeat and pass the course fails are removed iirc...

Doesn't really help if you're changing degrees though.

I wish to have a new attempt for this unit added to my study plan because of a grade of P or PC.

In doing this I am aware that:

- Once eStudent Support confirms that the unit has been added to my study plan, it is my responsibility to enrol into this unit

- While the credit point(s) of the previous attempt will no longer count towards my degree, my GPA will still be affected

- If I want to enrol in a unit for the third time, and the unit is offered by a Division other than the Division of Information and Communication Sciences, then I will need to request permission to do so via the Special Approval (Waiver) form.

damn, didnt think it would go anywhere. thanx anyway

on a side note, if im doing a double degree is it possible to defer one and complete the other ? or something along those lines

I've seen people do that in Arts/Law but I dont think they defered per se just enrolled in all arts units for year and then came back and did the law ones later.

I check that out though

Pwar (Rob)'s post hit the nail on the head...
Having worked within the registrar's department/undergraduate studies/whatever it's being renamed to now, I'll confirm, Yes, the fails still stay on your transcript. FORREEVVERR (Yes, forever. Unless you successfully get a W grade, and then it shows "W" instead.). Not sure if it turns up on your final academic transcript.

As Asylum rightfully said, you could go to another uni and get (theoretically) credit for previous studies for the units you have completed (fail = not completed); thus, you'd not have the F on your record. Big hassle, though.

Law has special rules, sometimes. Anything with law is open to exceptions (might be somethign to do with all those technicalities and exceptions that lawyers excel at)... When you say 'defer', you mean 'discontinue', technically. From there, anyone can discontinue (and later resume) their studies, simply by not enrolling in any subjects. i.e. You don't need to notify the uni you want to go away overseas for a year. You do, however, have to notify them you want to resume (i.e. when you come home).

If it makes you feel better about the F, average GPA is very close to 2.0, so that means there're a fair few people out there with a few Fs on their transcript, to offset the people getting CR+'s.
