(Archive) Results withheld/ deferred

same happened with me i m frustrated with all this whats the point of all the hard work. Most of the material in my project was taken from the internet and really nowadays we dont require any other mean to take the information from its all in the net

I hope someone helps us who has experienced this in past :| I really am very up set..

I am utterly disappointed with my result being deferred too. Worked really hard to complete it word by word my own creation but still got referred academic conduct officer. I wonder is there any chance of getting a pass grade after investigation is over? Has anyone ever got passed after that.

They say academic conduct officer will contact us within one month but this whole process can take three months or even more. Is there anyone who previously had this experience please guide us.

Hi sarah, May i know what was ur topic?

It was topic 8.. Have u passed? Do u know anyone who ever faced such problem?

Me too got deferred and my mentor say it is ok. Just random spot check.

Guys, Me too my project has been referred to ACO, was eager to see my result but now quite stressed. I did my own work, i did topic 8.

We just can pray and wait. Hope for the best

Hi Sarah Who was your mentor? May i pls know

turnitin has noted that your content and some other content either from internet or past submitted raps are matching, matching doesn't means copying pasting. Now human eye will check whether this matching is just coincidence or act of plagiarism. If it is not plagiarism your RAP will be marked pass. So good hope of passing.

The chances is 50:50.A mail would be sent to you and you would be required to answer such mail.You will need to dig into your archive to get copies of the minutes of meetings you had with your mentor.Also soft copies of the materials of the used as well as scanned copies of the hard copies. I have handled issues like this on behalf of students in the past.But you must have done the work yourself.

I dont have minutes. But I am sure 100% done by myself & fully reference.

@ sarah I plan to submit in november. and yes a person who is facing the same problem. I wish u best of luck!

I have the same issue!.... i dont understand why they are torturing us!...

Any one got any reply from ACO?

No i have not yet received any response. Did anyone have any feedback?

Not yet Still waiting May ALLAH help us n pass us. Please share if the ACO contacts anyone of u I surely will All the best

these ppl are ridiculous!.... they have the projects from nov ... its 6mths now!...

True that

yes..............thanks god i got email from oxford conduct officer that my project is passed...............good luck to those who are waiting...........

when did u get the email?

@kharai bunch of congrates When did u hear from the ACO? Did he directly tell u that u have passed or did he contact u before that for some kinda information? I am really stressed about it

It takes time depending how much messed up your analysis is. It takes from one to three months for OBU to reply after which they will either declare you pass, fail or will forward your case to the academic conduct committee. If you are unable to satisfy them, worst case scenario is that you will be permanently disqualified from OBU along with an advise to ACCA to initiate disciplinary proceedings against you. But again thats the worst case scenario, 99.9% will either be declared pass or fail within 3-6 months of the result. make sure you have all of your workings ready incase they call for them. Good Luck

hmmmm .... that means im screwed! ... in a country like kenya, Safaricom and Airtel are like the only companies in the same field that one can get their hands on in terms of comparative companies. 26 submissions means, they must have got a minimum of 26 projects on these companies! This sucks!

@ Kumar, not necessarily, provided you were not involved in the plagiarsm activity, the cement industry is pretty popular in Pakistan and there are several submissions on the same company each year.

Im praying man!... Thanks for your advise and comments :)

well it seems like issues take long to be resolved.The students have to bear with such a hellish wait to know their fate.it must equally be hard for the markers looking at all those scripts from arund the world.Do they even check if the quoted companies exist???Highly unikely.just my thoughts.Choice of company just doesn"t matter would be my conclusion.Submittimg in may and keeping fingers crossed

hi i got my results yesterday and it is passed......it was an email from oxford brooks bsc/acca administrator saying that the academic officer reviewed your project carefully and he is agredd that your project should be passed ..... the email also says that please download the letter from obu site which i did just to confirm...........good luck to all who are waiting

That was the email i received Dear student, We regret the need to hold your BSc result for investigation. This process has been completed in your case, but has taken longer than expected due to the very large number of cases that the Academic Conduct Officers have had to handle. We have now been advised that your project has been fully and carefully reviewed and that the Academic Conduct Officer has agreed that your project should be passed. Your e-copy letters are now visible on-line. The formal paperwork, including your official transcript will be sent by Royal Mail shortly
