I have received my Certificate last week but have not received my transcript yet.
Did you get your transcript and certificate?I will be attending the ACCA OBU Graduation ceremony in Dubai on 23 Feb 2019.
Is anyone else going to attend it?
I would like to know and meet fellow graduates.If I quit ACCA, will my BSc degree from OBU, Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business and CAT be void?
Can anyone give me the list of documents(hard copies) that OBU will send via mail?How many days will it take approximately after the result date to receive the documents?
The confirmation email :
“Yes, that is correct. Following the decision of our appeals officer, your online record has been updated to show that you have now passed the Bsc in Applied Accounting degree. However, please note that the online system will not show your correct award classification because you have been awarded after the results were released. We will be sending hard copies of your pass letter, award confirmation letter and transcript to you in due course and these will show your correct degree classification.”
This is what ACCA replied when I asked the same question.
“You must appeal within 60 days of the release of your results at the very latest, although we would normally expect to receive appeals sooner than this. The time taken to answer appeals can vary. However, the sooner we receive an appeal, then the earlier you should receive a response as appeals are generally answered based on the order in which they were received.
If you want your results to be reviewed, please email acca@brookes.ac.uk with details of the grounds on which you are appealing. You should try and be as specific as possible. It’s useful to quote the marker’s feedback and then detail why you disagree with a particular point and give examples of how your project meets the pass grade criteria. We will then pass this on to an academic member of the team to review your RAP.
Please note that students have to pass all nine sections of the assessment criteria before a degree can be awarded. Please also note that an appeal cannot be considered on grounds of academic judgement. However, an appeal can be considered for technical reasons. Technical reasons can include the marking criteria being misinterpreted, or that an uploaded element of the work has been missed by the marker. “
Thanks a lot for the clarification.
I will post the confirmation email once I get it.I got this email from Appeal Officer
” I understand that you are unhappy with your RAP result. I have also reviewed the work on your request.
I have looked at the feedback and there was an irregularity in the conduct of the assessment. Therefore, I will ask the administrative team to remove the fail grade for the RAP from the mark sheet. This will take some time to show on your Oxebiz account.
Please let me know if you have any further queries.”
What does this imply?
Has anyone successfully appealed and passed their project?
How long does the process take?Dear Student,
Thank you for participating in the Investigative Process and responding to the concerns which were raised about the originality of the work that you submitted for assessment for the Research and Analysis Project in Period 34.
Having carefully considered what you have had to say and having looked at your work carefully, I have concluded that you have committed plagiarism and/or collusion in that you have copied word for word from your sources material and/or colluded with other students or your mentor and submitted the work as you own independent and original work. This is a breach of Student Conduct regulation 2.2.1 and I have imposed a penalty of a Zero grade for your Research and Analysis Project. If you are eligible you may resubmit a project, but must choose another topic and research a different company i.e. not Topic 17 and not HSBC. You should undergo mentoring again.
The key facts of this case are as outlined in my letter of 30th October 2017
The Turnitin Originality Checking Report shows a match within other sources.
The Turnitin Originality Checking Report shows a significant match with another student within the Skills and Learning Statement.The reasons for my decision are that such matches with other students suggest a deliberate attempt to cheat.
You have the right to request that your case be re-heard by an Academic Misconduct Committee. If you wish to do so, you must set out in writing which of my findings and/or penalties that you believe are inappropriate and the reasons why. Your letter, together with any additional information you wish to submit, must be received by the University Student Conduct Officer (email studentdisputes@brookes.ac.uk) within 15 working days of the date of this letter. You should note that an Academic Misconduct Committee can increase penalties as well as reduce them. Although in this instance, I will not be referring the matter to the Undergraduate Misconduct Committee for a more serious penalty, the breach is of such a serious nature that I will be advising ACCA of this matter.
If you have any questions about this letter or the academic issues that it relates to, please contact me.
If you are unclear about any other aspect of your situation or are in any doubt as to what you should do now, you should contact the BSc Office at Oxford Brookes on acca@brookes.ac.uk or refer to the Student Conduct Regulations and Procedure which are available on the Brookes Intranet at
https://www.brookes.ac.uk/students/your-studies/student-disputes/student-conduct/ for further information. Please note that as a non-enrolled student some of the standard support services listed, such as the Student Union, are not available to you.Yours faithfully,
Can I resubmit in the next intake??
What are the chances of ACCA penalising me?
