Subject: Important Update on Assignment Submissions - Fall 2024
Dear Students,
We hope this message finds you well.
We want to address an unexpected issue that occurred during the assignment submission process on December 1. Due to a high volume of last-minute uploads, the system experienced a technical failure, impacting the ability of some students to submit their assignments on time.
Understanding the challenges this caused, and in consideration of your concerns, we have good news to share. We decided to extend leniency regarding submissions made during the supplementary submission period. No penalties will be applied to assignments submitted up until December 2.
While we strongly encourage all students to plan ahead and submit their work well before deadlines to avoid such issues in the future, we acknowledge that technical glitches can occur and appreciate your patience as we work to address this situation.
If you have any additional concerns or require assistance, please feel free to contact the support team at Help Desk.
Thank you for your continued commitment to excellence in your academic journey with the International Open University.

🔺Note that that university shall only do one reset of the exam for each course for eligible cases, hence, before you start the exam:
▪️ensure that you have smooth and strong internet connection,
internet data is sufficient to complete the exam
▪️you have uninterrupted time to attempt the exam
there are no scheduled load shedding/electricity downtime during this period
▪️You must ‘submit the exam’ as soon as you are done with the exam, and do not wait for the exam to be submitted automatically, as sometimes, exams are not submitted automatically due to internet disconnection which results in zero grades.
▪️It is noticed that the majority of the students try to attempt exams at the eleventh hour and as a result the server reaches its maximum capacity to process the requests and, therefore, exams are not submitted.
▪️If anyone is unable to submit the exam by the deadline then his/her exam would not be graded, nor will he/she be able to apply for its reset, even if it is due to server overload.
▪️The best option would be not to delay doing the exam till the last moment.
▪️No reset will be possible for the students who take the test/exam at the last moment as the tests and exams will be closed by the system and it will not be possible to reset them individually.
▪️You can use the MCQ ERROR REPORTING PORTAL to report an error in the MCQ or evaluate the answer you selected in your tests, midterm exam, or final exam.
▪️The complaint will be checked by the course instructor and if you are justified, your grade will be restored, otherwise, your application will be rejected.
May Allah assist you in your preparation, increase your understanding of the course material and give you success in the examination. Ameen
