Supplemental Exam Results
The results of the supplemental exams will be released on September 6th – you will have a clearer understanding of your options when you know what your results are.
In the meantime, here is a general overview of the various annual results and their implications for progression:
- If you get an annual result of Progress or Restricted Compensate on Sept 6th you will be able to progress into the next academic year in all subjects that you get a pass, pass by compensation or progression allowed result in.
- If you get an annual result of Restricted Deficit, then you will be allowed to progress into the next academic year with a credit deficit/shortfall of up to 10 credits that you will have to make up in subsequent years.
- If your annual result remains as Not Progress then you may wish to consider repeating a module, subject or the semester/year next year.
Please get in touch with either the Academic Advisory Office or the Programme Advisory Office on Sept 6th if you are unsure what your options are.
Last year, we helped hundreds of new students, just like you, with their programme choices including questions like these:
- How do the Arts timetable groups work?
- Is it possible for me to take a particular combination of subjects?
- What will my options be for next year if I take this particular combination of subjects?
- I hope to transfer into second year a denominated programme next year; what subjects do I need to take?
- How do I know if I have to take particular subjects as part of my programme?
- I have changed my mind about a subject; what should I do now?
For more information about your first year programme choices please see: www.maynoothuniversity.ie/year1info
Congratulations on passing your exams and progressing to the second year of your programme!
The introduction of the new Maynooth Curriculum last September has brought in greater flexibility for Maynooth students than ever before. As a second year student, you may now have the option of choosing your pathway: single major, double major, major with minor and/or the opportunity to take an elective module in an subject area of your choice.
The Programme Advisory Office hosted a series of information sessions between April 3-6th for then first year students on the Programme Options and Choices available in 2nd year including: Flexible Pathways, Subject Choices and Electives.
