Hi,
I’m in quite a terrible situation at the moment & had just wanted to find out if anyone has gone through anything similar.
I basically found out I was withdrawn from my marketing course at university. I was re-doing my 2nd year & had managed to get the credits I had needed in able for me to make it into my final year. This being said with the Withdrawl message that I had received from my head of department she had mention 4 FNFAs (fail no further attempt) which is one more that the university’s policy which resulted in me being taken off the course.
I was taken by surprise with this information as I believed that my position on the course was secure as I had the credits needed to progress. To make things worse I had only seen the message about the decision made from the board of examiners 3 weeks late as the message was sent to me through my student records inbox - this resulted in me missing my 10 day window to appeal their decision. I’m very devesated by all of this as I feel like my case has a chance to win if I had the opportunity to appeal. I feel like this could have all been avoided is the ‘withdrawal message’ was sent to me official through proper email or letter as I could have responded promptly.
I have contacted my head of department & she had basically told me there’s nothing much I can do.. I then emailed the dean of the business school but have not received heard a response yet. I’m truly sadden by all of this as I only had 1 year left, I have the credits needed despite the one FNFA over policy.
Is there any advice anybody could give me please? I’m quite desperate & I would like to stay on my course and finish.
