IMM is a money making scheme!!!

Imm is a money making scheme. They let me do business law this year first semester. I'm now trying to get credits for this module "There is no Business Law on the new Streams of the BCom". In short i will not be credited. When did they find this out, why did they allow people to register for BM 1 if they are phasing it out. So I wasted 6 months and money on a useless module, no communication sent or advise. The money is in the bag and they are simply telling us "no there's nothing we can do ". Disgusted!!!!

Dear Lindelwa,

Thank you for raising your concern.

Unfortunately, your complaint does not provide all the facts pertaining to this matter and thus does not provide a balanced perspective.

You commenced your studies in 2013 and therefore you had 8 years to finish the programme - up to the end of 2021.  You have only completed 5 out of 21 modules up to this point in time. 

You registered with the IMM Graduate School only in 2013, 2016, and 2020.   The IMM Graduate School prospectus states very clearly that students who have not studied with us for a while (such as yourself),  must check the prospectus very carefully to determine which modules are available in every academic programme as all academic programmes are updated regularly to ensure that they meet the needs as per the changing world we find ourselves in.

Our records show that you registered yourself via the student portal on 19 December 2019.  It would seem that you did not check the prospectus to determine whether there were any changes, and you possibly did not consult with a student consultant prior to registering for Business Law in order to ensure that your module selection was in order.

Due to your academic programme time frame coming to an end in 2021, you requested the National Registrar to approve credit transfers to the new BCom.  The new BCom no longer has Business Law as a module.  There are many students registered in the same BCom stream as yourself and therefore the student portal allows them to finish the academic programme by completing modules such as Business Law.

I will send you a private email so that we may find a solution to this matter.

I strongly recommend that any student who has not studied with us for a year or two, to consult with one of the student consultants so that they may make such students aware of any important changes which took place during the years of not studying with the IMM Graduate School.

Kind regards
