2. ISP and Learning Account
• 13 courses from first stage are taken into your ISP : “Individual StudyProgramme” or ISP
• ISP consists out of study units (related to the courses)
• Learning account functiones as a backpack.
• A backpack full of study units (SU) – at the start: 140 SU
• SU are taken out upon every ISP registration (first stage BBA = 60 SU)
o 140 minus 60 = 80
• Successful SU will be recharged in your backpack
• As long as your backpack is loaded with study units, you go on with yourstudies.
• So : the difference between number of successful study units (>=10/20) andnumber of study units taken into your ISP must stay small, otherwise yourbackpack will be empty soon(er).

6. Exam results
• 2 chances to pass the course
o E.g. fail course in January 2nd chance in Aug./Sept.
fail course in June2nd chance in Aug./Sept.
o you keep the best mark
(only within the same academic year)
E.g. Philosophy
June: 9/20
August: 6/20
=> End result: 9/20
6. Exam results
• 10/20 or more: credit
• 8/20 or 9/20: choice
o Retake (2nd exam chance or next academic year) or
o Tolerate (optional)
• Only for 8/20 or 9/20 and if study efficiency ≥ 50%
• For 18 SU in bachelor (in case of exemptions less).
• 1st year : up to a maximum of 12 tolerances
• MBA : no tolerances
• ≤ 7/20: retake
6. Exam resultsCourse with 2 parts
o At least 8,00/20 on both parts (A & B)
Final grade = average of part A & part B
• E.g.: part A: 8,20/20 – part B: 11,10/20 average: 9,65/20 = (from .5
rounded up =) 10/20 credit
o Less than 8,00/20 on one or two of the parts
Final grade = the lowest grade
e.g. Part A : 6,3/20 and Part B : 11,7/20 => End result =
6,3/20 (lower than .5 rounded down = ) 6/20
2nd exam chance only (!) for the unsuccessful part
Last (NOT the best) result counts for parts !
Again one of the two parts less than 8/20? Both parts again next year
8,00/20 on both parts? Final grade = average grade
7. Study Progress Measures
A. Calculating Cumulative Study Efficiency (CSE)
number of credits (10>=20) (tolerances not included)
= __________________________
number of study units taken into your ISP
calculated over all preceding years
• E.g. Results AY End 1: 45 credits/60 SU SE 75%
Results AY End 2: 50 credits/55 SU SE 91%
CSE = (45+50)/(60+55) = 83% CSE
7. Study Progress Measures
A. Cumulative Study Efficiency (CSE)
• For students who didn’t obtain 60 SU by the
o End of Year 1:
- CSE < 30% no access to the same programme
for 1 year!
- CSE < 50% access possible + compulsory
conditions
o End of Year 2:
CSE < 50% no access to all KUL programmes
for 1 year!
7. Study Progress Measures
A. Cumulative Study Efficiency : overall result
E.g.: Results
• AY now (end): 24 credits/ 60 SU
CSE = 24/60 = 40%
access + binding conditions
• AY next (end): 29 credits/ 49 SU (=59% !)
CSE = (24+ 29)/ (60+49) = 48,62%
49%
no access to all KUL programmes
for 1 year!
7. Study Progress Measures
B. Cumulative Study Efficiency : single courses
• 2nd time in your year programme: YES (unless SE < 30%)
• 3rd time in your year programme:
* CSE ≥ 50%: YES
* CSE < 50%: NO
No access to KUL programmes of which the
course unit is part - for 1 year!
• 4th time in your year program: NO
No access to KUL programmes of which the course
unit is part - for 3 years!
! The registration in your ISP counts, not the fact if you take the exam or
not!
7. Study Progress Measures
C. Prevent situations A & B!
• Reflect:
? Enough study time?, Enough effort?, Slow/fast track?,
Tutorials?, Coaching?, Trial exams ? Exam feedback? …
• In 2nd semester:
• ? Adaptations in ISP (less than 30 SU)? (deadline = 1st of March)
• In 2nd BBA:
• Limited number of study units in ISP (less than 60 SU)?
• Professional bachelor (BBM at Odisee) instead of academic bachelor?
