Startpage KU Loket 4

Where/How to find the information 1. HIW Eng Homepage = your gateway to all kind of info and KU Leuven online portals: 2. The Programme, Teaching and Exams webpage (with all the links): 3. Particular webpages (for the thesis, BA paper, calendar, the Writing Lab, etc.) 4. The Study Guide: the summary of all the info/deadlines/etc.: available also in good old hard copy s: check your student account regularly to stay informed

Individual Study Programme (ISP) Individual Exam Schedule (IES) IES is linked with ISP

ISP + IES Procedure 1. Go to your KU Loket and choose the courses in your ISP for both semesters and then save your ISP (by clicking on 'Save' at the top of your ISP) 2. Make sure you have no clashes in your schedule. 3. Go to your IES (also in KU Loket), choose the examination dates for both examination sessions (January and June) and save your IES (by clicking on 'Save Schedule'). 4. Go back to your ISP and send it for approval (by clicking on 'Send' at the top of your ISP)

Important (ISP and IES -related) dates 8 October 2014: All students: Last day for submission of the Individual Study Programme (ISP) for the whole year (after this date the students will be assigned the ISP). No changes to first semester and year-long classes are admissible after this date. → IES completeIndividual Study Programme (ISP) 9 February till 25 February 2015: All students can make changes to their second-semester classes via their Individual Study Programme (ISP) → IES complete Individual Study Programme (ISP) For all the other dates (submission deadlines, end of classes, etc.), see the HIW Administrative Calendar at or the Study Guide

Evaluation and Grading Grading scale: 0 – 20; 10/20 passing = credit To pass the programme ≠ to pass all course units → tolerance: Tolerance in the BA: Tolerance possible for 10% of actually taken credits (=18 credits in full BA; 12 credits can be used in 1 st BA) Tolerance can only be used: - for a fail 8/20 or 9/20 (tolerable failure) - if cumulative study efficiency (CSE) at least 50%; CSE is a ratio of credits you signed up for and obtained NB: no tolerance can be applied for Research and Writing Tutorial and BA Paper with Seminar

Evaluation and Grading Tolerance in the MA – granted by exam committee For 1 grade 9/20, if distinction = 68% achieved (→ levels of achievement) No tolerance possible for the MA thesis Tolerance in the MPhil - granted by exam committee For 1 grade 9/20, if distinction = 68% achieved (→ levels of achievement) No tolerance possible for the MPhil thesis, Common Seminar (if failed) and all Major seminars NB If the student does not agree with tolerance, let the student secretariat know within 5 days (also for BA Abr and 3BA students) after announcement of results

Evaluation and Grading If you pass a course (or apply tolerance) you cannot retake the course (exam or paper) in the current or following academic year! You can book any course under a certain course code only once in your ISP (regardless of the programme in which it is offered). If you fail an exam/paper and retake it in the same academic year, the higher grade you get will count (this does not apply across academic years)

Announcements of Grades Dates of announcement of results Wed. 11 February 2015 – for the first (January) examination session Wed. 01 July 2015 – for the second (June) examination session Wed. 09 September 2015 – for the third (September) examination session  Deliberation and Proclamation Feedback on exam results 5 days after announcement of results It is not a negotiation of grade! Right of appeal 5 calendar days after announcement of results

Exam Attempts In the BA and MA: the student can enrol for a course unit (including the BA paper and the thesis) two times (that is, in two academic years). The third enrolment is only possible if the student has obtained the CSE of at least 50%. If not refusal for 3 years. In the MPhil programme the student can enrol for a course unit (including the MPhil thesis) three times (that is, in three academic years). Afterwards refusal for 3 years. NB: refusal in both cases apply to the whole programme/subsequent programme NB: students are only obliged to retake required courses!

Study Progress: Binding Study Advice BA 1 st BA (if 120 credits needed for the degree ), start in September 2014 e.g. If you don’t get CSE of 60% in January 2015 → binding study advice, you need to get 50% by September 2015 If you don’t get CSE of 50% in September 2015 → binding study condition, you need to get 50% by September 2016 (so in ) If you don’t get CSE of 50% in September 2016 – refusal to enroll for 1 year NB: Take therefore max. 60 credits this year (min 54 and max 66)

Revision of Terms Passing the course = Credit obtained Failing the course = no credit obtained Tolerance for some failures under some conditions Cumulative study efficiency (not for the MPhil) Diploma percentage → level of achievement/overall percentage Study progress Exam attempts Binding study condition (only 1 st BA, if more than 120 credits towards the degree) Deliberation – proclamation Exemption – not negotiable!

Points of Attention: Rules for composing the ISP: all students All students should pay special attention to the following: If you have problems opening/saving/etc. your ISP, please try using a different browser. Chrome, e.g., does not work well with KU Leuven applications. It is important how many credits the student books and obtains at the end of the academic year, that is after the third (September) exam session. The division of credits between the semesters is of no importance in this regard since it depends largely on scheduling of required courses and student’s choice of electives.

Points of Attention: Rules for composing the ISP: all students The student can take each course unit, under a certain course unit, only once (regardless of the programme in which it is offered), provided s/he passed it/applied tolerance for it. As of retaking exams/resubmitting papers which the student passed is not possible (in the same or the next academic year).

Points of Attention: Rules for composing the ISP: all students The student should make sure to double-check her/his ISP before the closing deadlines to see whether s/he has no 'extra' courses in it (that is, courses s/he decided to drop) or any 'missing' courses (that is, courses s/he decided to follow). It will not be possible to drop/add these courses to the ISP later in the academic year (after the ISP deadlines have passed). The student should keep in mind that courses booked in her/his ISP and not the courses that appear on her/his Toledo count towards her/his official study programme.

Points of Attention: Rules for composing the ISP: all students Students in 3BA, BA Abr, MA and MPhil who would like to take an extra course for credit, out of interest, can do so via the so-called 'credit contract', which will have no impact on their regular programme. Students in a final stage of the BA, or in the BA Abridged, MA, MPhil (graduation students): if you book the course as part of your programme you will need to complete the course (or tolerate/have it tolerated, if possible) to complete the programme, even if the course comes on top of your min. required credits for the degree. Courses booked under credit contract have no impact on your regular programme.

Points of Attention: Rules for composing the ISP: all students Check also Read carefully Should you still have any questions regarding your ISP, please contact the HIW International Programme Office (Emilia) at
