6. Study Progress Measures
A. Cumulative Study Efficiency (CSE)
• = N° of credits obtained/ N° of credits taken into your ISP calculated over all preceding years
• Only credits - Tolerances are not taken into account!
• E.g.
Results AY 1: 45 credits/60 SU SE 75%
Results AY 2: 50 credits/55 SU SE 91%
CSE = (45+50)/(60+55) = 83% CSE
6. Study Progress Measures
A. Cumulative Study Efficiency (CSE) (2)
• Students who didn’t obtain 60 SU:o Year 1:
CSE < 50% compulsory conditionso Year 2:
CSE < 50% no access to all KUL courses for 1 year!
6. Study Progress Measures
A. Cumulative Study Efficiency (3)
E.g.: Results
• AY 2014-2015: 24 credits/ 60 SU
CSE = 24/60 = 40%
binding conditions
• AY 2015-2016: 29 credits/ 49 SU
CSE = (24+ 29)/ (60+49) = 48,62%
49%
no access to all KUL courses for 1
year!
6. Study Progress Measures
B. Reregistration• 2nd time in your year program: YES• 3rd time in your year program:
* CSE ≥ 50%: YES
* CSE < 50%: NO
No access to KUL courses of which the
course unit is part - for 1 year! • 4th time in your year program: NO
No access to KUL courses 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!
6. Study Progress Measures
C. Prevent situation A & B!
• Reflect:
Enough study time?, Enough effort?, Slow/fast track?,
Learning teams?, Coaching?, …• In 2nd semester:
adaptations in ISP (e.g. part-time program)?
deadline changes ISP 2nd sem.: 25/02/2015• In 2nd BBA:
limited number of credits in ISP?• Professional bachelor instead of academic bachelor?
