6 . Study Progress MeasuresA. Cumulative Study Efficiency (CSE)= N° of credits obtained/ N° of credits taken into your ISP  calculated over all preceding yearsOnly 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 MeasuresA. Cumulative Study Efficiency (CSE) (2)Students who didn’t obtain 60 SU:Year 1: CSE < 50%  compulsory conditionsYear 2: CSE < 50%  no access to all KUL courses for 1 year!

6. Study Progress MeasuresA. Cumulative Study Efficiency (3)E.g.: Results AY 2014-2015: 24 credits/ 60 SU CSE = 24/60 = 40%  binding conditionsAY 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 MeasuresB. Reregistration2nd time in your year program: YES3rd 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 MeasuresC. 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.: 25/02/2015In 2nd BBA: limited number of credits in ISP?Professional bachelor instead of academic bachelor? Contact the study coaches for more information!
