Please seek help, don't worry about uni, they should help if asked, contact your tutor, head of course, anyone really, there are so many people who can help you in and out of uni, just google and don't be scared.

Wish you well
 
My current college/uni has their programmes laid out as follows (in Scotland)

Year 1: HNC
Year 2: HND
Year 3: BA/BSc
Year 4: BA/BSc hons

With the degrees being taught by my college and awarded by a uni we are affiliated with until our college gains the right to award degrees.

As I understand it each qualification requires more credits. You need 12 for the HNC, 30 for the HND etc so essentially even if I intend to do my BA as a first year student, I am doing the HNC course and so on. I like the flexibility it offers me as I haven't decided how 'far' I want to go academically.

Perhaps your uni was the same
 
I am not a huge advocate of higher education. I mean if you actually need the qualification for your career than fine, but if you have a real yearning to learn then just go to Oxford and get yourself in to the basement of Blackwells. Phone a University up and ask what the book list is. Ultimately University is about how to learn, not what you learn, and you can actually find that out for yourself. You don't need to pay them to tell you what you probably already know, or can easily find out.

There should be a rule that new joiners can't reply to threads older than 12 months.

But still allowing regular posters to revive threads - as in most cases that's technically what you should be doing rather than creating a new thread.

Most new joiners find threads through google from <insert search words here>, and then sign up to comment.
 
Wow, this is a bit of a blast from the past!

I never did find out if I was entitled to anything as I managed to get another job pretty quickly.

This was my problem. I was never fully on board with it and by the time I'd finished college I'd had enough of education anyway but it seemed like going to uni was the done thing. That combined with some other things going on at the time meant I completely lost the will to complete my final year.

Whilst i don't disagree with the sentiment, you're also paying for tuition/guidance from people who are knowledgeable in their relevant field, of which you won't get from books.

If you're able to learn the subject without any tuition/guidance, then great makes things easy.
 
Ok a lot of people dont know about these things, and I know them from going to a bottom of the barrel 'yooney' for special brains like myself.

1) If you finish all first year credits - Certificate of Higher Education (equivalent to a foundation degree)

2) If you finish the above and second year credits - Diploma of Higher Education (equivalent to HND)

3) If you finish the above and half the credits in final year - Ordinary Degree (I got this and its worth less than the paper its printed on, go me!)

4) If you finish all the modules - If you need the answer to this one, you shouldn't even be in a rank 130+ yooney.

While I realised after posting that this is a zombie thread, this is actually useful information to have so I will leave it here.

If I had known I was too dumb to do the final year dissertation before going to yoponety, I would have never gone in the first place. Young and dumb (still dumb) and all that, the serious answer to anyone nowadays is if you aren't going to get a first pass from a Russell group uni in a good subject, look for an aprrenticeship or start working at Tesco from age 16 and work your way up.

You will never get any return on studying if you get the special head 'AT LEAST YOU TRIED!' passes like I did.

Also I can't get any kind of help at all with more education or training now because I am considered as already having a degree, and can't get funding to try an accelerated one 2nd and 3rd year only in one of those airy fairy things like Gender Studies so so I can use it to progress in Admin / HR / Reception / Customer Service or the likes.
