Centrally Managed Exams 2021/22

Centrally managed written exams will continue to be remote and online in the next academic year, in line with the agreed 2021/22 UCL Operating Model (Education Committee, 23 February).  

Education Committee agreed further detail on 10 June 2021:  

For all 2021/22 centrally managed exams:   

• Exams will be remote and open book.  

• Exams may be either 24 hour exams or timed exams, with all students starting at the same time (BST).  

• Timed exams will have an upload window, the length of which is yet to be determined. The upload window will be added to the duration on AssessmentUCL.  

• The examination timetable will display the time students have to write the exam.  

• A task and finish group of Academic Regulations and Quality Assurance Sub-Committee is being established to make recommendations on the regulatory framework for online exams.  

Module Catalogue  

The Module Catalogue will be refreshed after 19 July to reflect any late changes to assessment methods. 

The method of assessment for centrally managed exams will be displayed in the module catalogue as Remote Online Exam - duration information will not be published to allow time for departments to agree the duration of exams following agreed outputs from the task and finish group.  

Confirmation of durations  

In November, the usual Curriculum Data Maintenance (CDM) task will be released to departments in which to confirm the actual duration of the exam to then be fed into the exam timetable.
