Jusoda Kid 1 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 aye don't waste any time either way need to get on their backs and cause hassle asap it's the only way to get things done.Being a nuisance is a great way to hurry people the fuck up This. And parents are usually a damn site more understanding than kids give them credit for. If you are an only child who is now living away, they will probably be fully back in the swing of having unbridled sex all over the house with no kids about and will be only too happy to get you back into UNI. Sorry for the mental picure btw. Acid house style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask to meet with the Dean. If you rang the same person that let you go in the first place they'll just try to fobb you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 they've rung my course director to ask about appeals and stuff and shes told them no so I guess thats it Absolutely do not take that as an answer, it's like asking the boss that's just fired you if they are sure. Go and see someone outside the department and get some advice (the university itself should have someone that deals with this sort of thing, as should the students union), I don't for a second believe that there is "no" appeals process, no process they want you to try more like.

One fail and you're out seems really harsh, usually (at least in Canadian universities) there is some sort of probationary period where they tell you to stop coming to class straight from the kegger the night before and you at least gt to prove you are serious abut being at the school. best of luck with that and remember you are paying for that education so you are not only a student but a paying customer as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Check the course prospectus/forms to see what they say about grounds for expulsion-this would tell you whether or not they are in breach of contract. Alternatively if you question the exam results themselves (you don't say you do to be fair but just to cover all bases given the magnitude), then the route would potentially be a Judicial Review of the exam board. Either way though, you should at least try and speak to somebody with some decision making power (above the course director) within the institution. Your uni reps should help you with this.

andy_w_1986 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Personally i would get straight on to your Students Union, they love things like this!

trophyshy 6434 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 well my parents will find out today, im going home, wanted to tell them face to face, I am praying they'll see the injustice in this instead of just going into meltdown at me but I'm not putting any money on it it was the course director who informed me, I've met her a few times this year (all for positive stuff, i think i was her favourite or something) and she kept apologising saying its not her choice its the board or i'd be staying etc so I'll report back assuming I'm capable of typing and I'm not locked up somewhere or on the streets Am I the only one who thinks she wanted you to make sure her position was satisfactory in order to protect your own?

Aye, as unfashionable as I assume they still are, it's a good idea, they will know your options better than anyone and will usually help kick up a stink in situations like this, and it is making a big stink that helps you in situations like that.

Asprilla 96 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 :facepalm: Fucking hell Andrew... Sorry to hear it fella, are you a bit relieved? Cause it sounds like you're resigned to not challenging the decision... maybe I'm misinterpreting. Like people here have said, you're not going to get anywhere by being passive so I would be thinking about becoming a pain their arses for a very long time until they let you back. Are there any local or student rags you can go to? Maybe even your MP? I'd go with the line of we're in the shit as a country and you're doing your best to contribute, this uni gets tax payers money, yet they're doing their best to throw you out for a very iffy reason. Good luck chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
