[FIXED] [DU] Term presentation board gone/not received and can't get it back

Happened to me too. I tried to place it in the world and all of a sudden it disappeared. I think what might have caused it that I clicked on Esc to close the cheat impute thing that was open while 'holding' the presentation board.
Anyway, my sim didn't fail the class and got an A since I made him study super hard.

  I have the same issue - EA can you release a patch please?
  
  I have the same issue!
  
  I have the same issue. EA: a good fix would be to allow us to buy the board from the university kiosk outside the commons.

I think for now it's just not available to purchase. A workaround for this is to withdraw from the term, you can enroll again 2 days later, this was what I did for a sim with a missing presentation board, and the next time she had a class with one, she received them with the enrollment as expected.

  I found another workaround: just study harder. My board was bugged, instead of vanished, but the result is the same: you can't do the presentation for the course.
  I continued playing the sim with the bugged presentation board and figured that since it says the presentation is a large part of the degree, instead of saying necessary or obligatory part of the degree, I'd just study harder otherwise. Made sure he was early to class with homework done, always took notes in class, and studied that subject from the text book a lot. The day before term ended, he emailed his professor, who called him a stellar student, and indeed, when the grades came in, he got A+, despite never having done the presentation board for the class.
  So a simple workaround until the boards are fixed: study extra from the text book and make sure to do all the homework well and to take notes in class.

    @Lumiasta I can confirm this workaround is good for now; I used the computer to have my Sim study like crazy for the next school day and it bumped him up to A+ even without the presentation board.
    
    Good to know you can still get ahead by finding creative ways to get extra credit.

I'd like to know if there's a way to retrieve the board as well - checked hiddenobjects and the kiosk. I rebuilt my dorm lot while the board was out, and lost it to bulldozing. Doesn't seem to be any way to replace it ☹️
