What should I do if I am persuaded to quit by the school after failing the sophomore make-up examination for international students in the British District?
The student, majoring in CHEM at York University, failed to pass 3 subjects in the final exam of his sophomore year, and failed to pass 2 subjects in the make-up exam, and his credits and GPA did not meet the standard, not only could he not be promoted to the third year, but he also received an email from the school to persuade him to quit.In this case, the first thing we need to do is to appeal, first find out where we don't meet the school's requirements, and then appeal according to the student policy.
For example, York University's grievance policy states that you cannot appeal an examiner's academic judgment. So the York University argue score doesn't work, and many universities in the UK can't appeal the position mentions this.
In addition, it is important to note that the University of York requires students to submit an appeal within 28 days of receiving the email, usually within 90 days of receiving the appeal result, and within 10 days of receiving the result.
The student initially appealed on his own, but failed, and now his main appeal is to change his major and continue his studies.
The team teacher took into account the student's situation and gave 3 options:
1. First get the opportunity to stay in school and continue to study through appeal, and then apply for a change of major after success.
2. Transfer directly to change majors, but the best time to transfer in the UK is the freshman year, and it is difficult to be expelled from the sophomore year to transfer, for example: the University of Bristol requires applicants to achieve at least a 2:1 degree level in their freshman year, and after meeting the hard rules of the target institution, if you can still get a letter of recommendation, it will be a plus.
3. Transfer to the junior year and change majors at the same time, but this method will only be accepted by colleges and universities ranked 600 or later.
The first two methods will cause students to spend another year or two in undergrad, and the third school will be too poorly ranked. The student is not very receptive. So the fourth option was given.
4. Apply for a master's degree without getting an undergraduate degree - apply for a master's degree across the bachelor's degree.
The team teacher considered the student's situation, and selected 4 colleges and universities for the master's degree according to the student's wishes, helped the student improve his background, get a letter of recommendation, write an essay, and finally got an offer for a one-year taught master's degree in Leeds.
