100% increase in postgraduate awards on Portico by results day
12 December 2019
Benefits to students realised following improvements to post-Exam Board process
The number of results and awards processed on Portico and made available to students by the end of November 2019 was greatly increased, thanks to the hard work and collaboration of staff in departments, faculties and the Registry.
By replacing what was a manual, paper-based process up to 2017/18 with an online workflow and ensuring all postgraduate award rules were built into the system, it has been possible to confer 8,000 postgraduate qualifications on Portico, double the number conferred by the same time last year.
The number of certificates dispatched to eligible students prior to the Christmas closure has also increased from 40% to 80% this year. Continuing postgraduates have also benefitted from these process improvements, with result notifications being emailed to students throughout the Autumn Term.
Other improvement highlights include:
- 11,000 student qualifications awarded via Portico (from September to date) from Late Summer Assessment and Postgraduate Exam Boards
- 22,000 student results emailed from September to date
- Results released to postgraduate students throughout October and November
- First formal postgraduate results day at UCL – 9,500 students received award and classification information by email
