Extra year in the University, what can I do ? by Thomey: 7:58am On Jan 19, 2016
The Senate of my school released results of graduating students yesterday. Unfortunately my name wasn't there.
I'm so sad and angry at myself. Firstly, how do I tell my parents ??. My Dad will likely disown me, my mom has great expectations for me will be greatly disappointed and she is also hypertensive. My siblings who sponsored part of my education are going to have nothing to do with me. I'm currently with my sister and how to break the news to her is beyond me.
A lot of questions and possibilities have been going through my head but I am just clueless right now

Please your advice is urgently needed before my sister gets back from work.

My brother, I will advise you stay put and concoct a convincing story of why your service year might be postponed, since your case might migrate into the fire from the frying pan if they know about your predicament.

Cook up a story about your department having an issue and of which every student will be affected cos the Senate wouldn't grant hearing until case id resolved within the department.

Just cook up anything u can always defend.

And never forget to tell the truth at the fulness of time.




Why would they not include your name?
Are you having any academic or social problem?

I don't have much to tell you but keep your calm and remember its not the end of life, you just need to put more efforts into you studies. Do not contemplate suicide!

Suicide is not an option. Though it has crossed my mind. Why would I kill myself and be condemned forever

Well,maybe you ignored some cogent things you should do as a student.
Or maybe fate just woke up on you.
But in all,this is not a complete story and you have to tell your family whataguan

Having an extra year is not the end of the world. Its better you tell your parents the truth, return back to school and pass the outstanding courses.

I had extra year thrice due to some reason but I am glad i finished up what i started, graduated and the same course is what i use in feeding myself and family now.

I pray God grants you the strength.

What course are you studying? If your parents turn their backs on you because of an academic challenge, start questioning the love they have for you. Do they love you or are you just their object of meeting their expectations and/or building their prestige?

Wow.

Please, did having an extra year have a negative effect on your employment opportunities? Did it show in your certificate that you had extra years?
Re: Extra year in the University, what can I do ? by pawsofdikeje(m): 12:45pm On Sep 27, 2019
It not written on your certificate.
