I feel the poster above @ oyetpel .I was once in that shoe. Infact I didn't graduate. I just left because of prerequisite courses in my department and its not just about clearing outstanding carryovers but you have to pass a certain course in one level to register for some courses in higher level. So you could have an extra year from second year failing a chemistry or bch course as you won't be able to do the major courses in third year without passing them.
The thing is that many people that you don't even notice know when you gained admission and people are expecting to see you in nysc uniform after certain years.
I've since started my own business and I can't count how many chemistry and chemical engineers and countless other people including senior colleague in the business that graduated from biochemistry u didn't finish that have contacted me to train them on paint production.
I even have much matured men all graduates that served in nysc that work for me.
My candid advice is to come out clean with your parents that you will surely graduate but there are some courses that are giving you problem that you gave to pass first so that they are prepared. They will eventually know later and by preparing them, you will lessen the disappointment.
People in similar situation should continue with the course and find some jobs or business to engage in because chances of working with a third class degree isn't too bright.
Once your parents are aware that you have some outstanding courses that may delay you and come to terms with it ( which they have little choice on after initial gra gra) then that's all that matters.

Funny enough, there was a day my mum was lamenting and complaining, I told her what she expected me to do, that should I commit suicide, that shut her up.
Your parents would rather have you alive and start over again than you kill yourself. That's a double loss to them. You didn't justify their investment in you and you deprive them of a child.

CAN SOMEBODY REWRITE CARRY OVER COURSE AFTER TEN YEARS OF GRADUATION?HAD ONE CARRY OVER 1ST SEM EXAM 2005 BEFOR I TRAVELLED OUT

oyetpel:
Mayb he's busy with some other things.
Am currently in fellowbeing shoe, too many carry over courses, very low grade...but am not planning 2 kill myself.

Have you graduated? Or your set (without you) graduated?

I'm confused because nothing concerns a graduate with rewriting a carry-over.

pls, is the OP dead already? I couldnt find the news in the dailies.

Jengbetiele:


Let me quickly share my story with you....the best sermon is one's personal experience. I left secondary school in 2004. By 2005, I got admitted to a state university in Ekiti State. After two years of studies in Ekiti state, I discovered the program i was doing was not accredited. To make the story worse, nearly all lecturers in the faculty of science passionately disliked the program. It was called SLT then. Consequently, they mark down our papers. Not only that, they called us all sorts of names like NFA, unfortunate students and the likes anyone who attended the university and did that course can attest to what i am saying. My dad happens to be a staff of the University, so i told him about the poor grades, everything i heard about the program, and the intensity of the lecturer's hatred for the program all to no avail. All he said was whenever students dont want to read, they come up with different flimsy excuses so i kept mute.

After five years of my life in that school, my dad was made one of the board members of the faculty so he saw the whole results since the inception of the program. He saw so may spill over students from year 2000, and the fact that the program has not been accredited. I was in 500 level(final year) then with alot of carry overs.....carry over is not a big deal in that program....people had 15. My father saw how bad it was and he immediately invited me to his office for a meeting. He blamed himself for not listening to me when i complained 3 years earlier and he said he would want me to transfer immediately. That was how i took my transcript and returned to 200level in another school entirely when i ought to graduate with maybe a third class or a pass.

I wasted 5years of my life in Ekiti as a result of this, i was so sad and depressed. Merely sitting with my younger brother's age mate turned my stomach in anger. Infact when i got to the new school, my own younger brother who i happened to be ahead of by 3years became my senior. The retrogression started affecting my grades such that attending classes became a burden. Along the line, i sat myself down and reasoned deeply about how my life has been. For crying out loud, I used to the best student in secondary school. I was only unfortunate to have attended the wrong program in Ekiti. Though i wasn't given any certificate despite the number of years spent but what about the life lessons i learnt?. I made a concrete decision to change my attitude towards my new classmates and I began to humble myself to a fault. Above all, i began to see my new school as the golden opportunity to start afresh again. My declining grades all of a sudden began to soar so high such that i had 5.0/5.0 in one of the semesters and i ended finishing top 5 out of the class of about 300.

Today, I am currently in Canada on a graduate program fully funded by a Canadian university. Up till now, I am yet to spend a dime of myself in Canada because the scholarship covered everything. Guess what?, I even got two scholarships from two different universities and just last week, I got another funding again. Yes just last week! What if i had committed suicide then? . Would i have seen the goodness almighty God has packaged in my future today? What i am saying in essence is you can fall as much as possible but whenever you fall and refuse to rise again is when you failed. The righteous shall fall seven times.....but they shall rise again.

Conclusively, whatever the case maybe, dust up yourself and try again. Do not give up so easily because winners never quit and quitters never win. I am sure very soon you gonna look back and smile. Every successful man or woman at some point had a share of that gloomy period when you feel you are all alone and the world is about comming down on you. But I am happy to announce to you that alot of people have tread this same path and today they have become success and point of reference in the society. Brother, it is never how far, but how well and tough time never lasts tough people do!!!!!!

bro please how can i go intto such graduate program? Please help a brother so i dont start contemplating suicide like this my brother. waiting for ur response...

crystalzoe:
hello dear pls u need to b strong. I was once in ur shoes it took me almost 9yrs to graduate from a 5yr program. it wasn't funny. I carried ova some courses from 100 level to final year I kept writing them every year. u can imagine what that did to my cgpa. I finally escaped with a 3rd class but God who gives beauty for ashes restored me
I got a job during my 2nd extra year. d pay was low but the skills and experience I gained is what is feeding me today. after years of shame I can actually look back and laugh. my course mates can't believ that I'm actually practising. pls its beta to tell ur folks abt d spill than for them to see ur corpse I assure u its not worth it. uniilorin cannot break u. pls u can rise above this.

Everyone's path differs, the beautiful thing is that some of your "highflyer" classmates may be envying you right now...
except it's not the right thing to do as it might mean they're ignoring what God has placed in their own hands and are busy coveting another's.

Your's is actually one of the many "contrarian" stories..
Had a classmate then who even though spilled for two years, already had a whole training outfit running an aspect of the course.

Had another who was already shuttling btw the U.S n Nigeria, yet met him in Final year.

Maturity is why some of us didn't look down on them then...

How are you @ fellowbeing darling?

Im trying to be fine.Thanks

Don't be discouraged, draw close to your creator, the one that have the Master plan for your life and he will give you direction and purpose. We all have failed at one point or the other. Don't be discouraged, lift up your head and stand tall, you are special in a unique way.

If i am not mistaken you were admitted in 2011, i could remember vividly that i apply for admission that same year in unilorin with good utme score and 74 in post utme but not admitted, you got the admission then and because of some problem, you thought of killing yourself. I SHOULD SPANK YOU

all these while just done with my ND and so happy about it, you guys dont know that it is a different game outside of school...


NOTE: KNOW YOUR PROBLEM AND SOLVE IT.



THE TRUEST TEST OF INTEGRITY IS IT BLUNT REFUSAL TO BE COMPROMISE.


If you still chose to kill yourself, pls say me hi to my grandparents.

There is a possibility you can write and get your certificate..
There is something called "retroactive deferment of studies" go to the school, make a strong case why you left the school without deferment and apply.. They will have a siting and possibly allow you do the course and maybe few more courses as there might be some changes in the department.

Abbey2sam:



i graduated in 2012,(actually it should have been 2010)

i'm yet to get my result
yet to serve

and you think your problem is bigger than mine, as far as i'm concern you don't even have a problem ........just two years, mine is five this year
though school went on three years strike

its well bro, have pity on your parents and live for them if you don't want to live for yourself

The funny thing about life is that when you think you are in a problem or you feel you are going through a lot, there are so many people out there that are in a far greater problem than you and you will just have to do nothing but give thanks to almighty God. When I was in my final year, I had about 7 carryovers to attend to . I kept thinking of how I was going to graduate because i couldnt just imagine having an extra year. When I saw a friends course form a particular day, I saw about 15 carryover courses in the course form ( the course I did , there was usually enough space/ units to register as much carryover courses as it can Carry in your final year). I said to myself, do I really have any cause to worry? Live goes on, what will be will be. Honestly , how I managed to graduate that year still remains a mystery. I don't know how I graduated and I don't want to know. Some things are better left unsaid.

At the end of the day, it is testimony. Thanks to y'all.
