OBU Period 38 delay

They will send mail to everyone just relax

Life is all about the ups and downs. I was impatient for the results yesterday and hardly slept the day before as I was extremely anxious. Disappointing about the delay and OBU should seriously need to learn and work around their issues but i'm at peace now and looking forward to the 25th!

@sock nee just check whether you filled in the google form as requested by OBU few days back in which they asked toprovide the contact details of students. Doubtful whether they have your correct email. Better if you email and check.

Let`s call a spade a spade here. This is the University ever with the most frustrating administration. I stopped two of my brothers from studying with them after the experience I had. Certificates are always delayed and when students send emails, noone replies.I wanted to study my MBA with them. Got an offer, but with this kind of poor administration, I cancelled it. There is nothing better about two bad things. After what happened to students in period 37, they should have adjusted to expedite certificates dispatching.

Yes exactly, ACCA just takes around 1.5 months to issue the results with multiple folds of students sitting per session unlike the OBU degree which gets 4 months of time span with relatively low count of submissions than ACCA. At least they should have notified us about the delay on the 17th sep. With regard to the graduation day I got to know that students don't receive any certificates or at least some sort of a general medal or badge authenticating our completion of the BSc.That is pathetic. I don't know how it is in the UK. It is discouraging for students to fly for the graduation day all the way to Dubai or Malaysia just for a handshake on the stage. I know that a decent amount of students attend the graduation, but the event can be made more pleasing if OBU provides the graduates with some sort of certificate, medal or bagde on the big day. COMMENT BY Trephena - As has already been explained the two systems are not comparable. I am not aware that EVERY SINGLE ACCA paper that is failed is remarked for example - which is the case with the RAP. Also Degrees are regulated and all UK Universities have accreditations that mean that the work has to be reviewed by external examiners - again I do not believe that is the case with ACCA papers. It is a graduation ceremony and not school prize giving! I will tell you exactly what it is in the UK. The numbers are huge (during graduation periods probably graduates numbers run to five figures) - so it would be logistically impossible with no shows to ensure that everyone ended up with the right certificates on the day and therefore the norm for every UK university is to send the certificate to the registered address of the student. I accept that overseas the numbers are smaller but administratively if someone didn't turn up what then? What would happen to their certificate? If not collected it could end up being lost or mislaid - it can only be issued once so then further moans and complaints understandably would ensue if students were told 'tough you should have collected it and you didn't'. The graduation ceremony is for friends and family to join with you to congratulate and share in your success and as you are not compelled to attend, I suggest you stay home if you don't think it's worth attending. As for a badge or medal? Oh please! The object of doing the work is to obtain a degree and you get certificate to verify this - if you want a badge or medal take up a sport and start training for the Olympics!

I think they don't care about applied accounting through ACCA route. They are more focused on in house courses. It's high time for ACCA to collaborate with another university.

Has any one recieved obu result as of yet ?

This is just an administrative hiccup that does not necessarily affect the academic quality of the OBU degree qualification. It's good to keep things in perspective.

All the best for tomorrow and Wednesday.

anyone received their result yet ??

I was going to ask the same thing. Do we think we will get the results today or will they only be released tomorrow?

No one has received yet I think. Maybe in the afternoon.
