Hi

Im left with fac1601 which i failed.. anyone else doin it message me.. maybe we could work together am hopefully get chosen for f1..

Guys I'm not trying to sell anything. I am speaking from experience. I used Tabaldi to pass FAC1601. Difficult subject.


Agree 100% with you. But....Only back when Charles did the interactive videos. I cannot comment on what its like since he left it.
He truely showed one where marks were allocated.and the little things that help one understand.

Hey guys,

Got some feedback from F1 dept. Theyve advised that they will finalise the F1 students on 16 January and he advised me that we phone and ask on the 17th if we qualified and were chosen.

He also advised that one registers anyway in the mean time.....

I sorted out my registration and I'm registered again for final year student with two modules outstanding. I'm in a unique situation because I know the one module they wont give me a f1 because it is portfolio based however; the one is written and I need a concession for that. I'm hoping they still grant me a concession cause I can always fix a portfolio just would be awesome I don't have to finish at an exam centre.

the other one is written*

I have one portfolio and one written. Do you think they'll still give me a concession for the written one.

Dear Students

To those of you who have not passed LML4806 in the October/November 2016 exam period, you may have an opportunity to write a special FI Concession Exam in order to complete your degree, if you qualify to write this exam. There is nothing you need to do to apply for the FI Concession Exam. If you do qualify you will be notified in due course of this via your mylife unisa address. You will also be provided with the date and details of the FI Concession Exam via your mylife unisa address.

Kindly note that the Student Assessment Department is responsible for the identification of students who qualify for the FI Concession Exam and not your lecturers. If you believe that you qualify for the FI Concession Exam in order to complete your degree please contact Mr Michael Makola (Tel: 012 441 5398 or E-mail: makolmm@unisa.ac.za) to confirm whether or not you qualify for such examination.

Students are advised to reregister for the module pending the finalisation of the FI Concession Exam.

Regards

You guys are lucky you getting replies. I have done everything I can but to avail no help, typical UNISA. No answers to ANYTHING!!

Has anyone received a concession for a portfolio before?

Hulo all,

So I have a question. Does UNISA ever change their rulings and grant an f1 concession(s) even though the student has more than 2 modules left (3 or 4) .

Yes, I know that the rules say up to 2 modules have to be outstanding but the rules also say that it is up to UNISA's discretion, so has anyone with 3-4 modules outstanding (and failed those at the last sitting), been granted concessions in order to complete the degree?

The rules on FI Concession are clear that it excludes Portfolio based modules.

See extract below:

Students who qualify for the concession must meet the following criteria:
Require no more than two (2) modules to complete their qualification (undergraduate students)
Require no more than 24 credits to complete their qualification (postgraduate students)
Are registered to complete a qualification at UNISA (modules selected as NDP modules are not considered for the concession)
The outstanding modules are the modules required to complete the qualification
Wrote and failed the last available examination opportunity.

The following qualifications/students/modules are excluded and do not qualify for the FI Concession:
· All master’s and doctoral degrees/modules
· Modules in qualifications where the summative assessment is done by way of a portfolio / practical examination
· All research modules
· All modules in excess of 24 credits
· Short-learning Programmes (SLPs)

OK cool what if the other wasn't a portfolio. What do you think? Would you still get a concession for the written one? Like one portfolio and one written.

You might be granted for one module, however, the mere fact that you will not complete your qualification based on the FI Concession may count against you.

Yeah you're right. The rules do state if you fail a concession you have to re register for that module. But you do have a valid point. Hope and pray for Gods favour. I failed the written by 2%

The portfolio Ill ask lecturers. A portfolio I can always fix, but a written that's a different story

"The following qualifications"
Looks like I might not get it after all.

I managed to get a hold of someone at UNISA. She told me to get a hold of the lecture of the module in question. She said it will only be awarded if asked.

That person from unisa is not telling the truth, my lecture said exam department deals with concession, not lectures.

Can someone please give me a number which will enable me to contact unisa I have tried every number on this topic and haven't been able to get through I even tried calling the lecturer and the phone just rings with no answer. I have 1 module to complete my degree and I got a supp for it last semester and I want to know if I'm going to qualify for an F1 concession. Someone please assist me with the number you have used to get through to the person whom assisted you.
