Right to Work checks for UG External Examiners

Verified Right to Work checks for Undergraduate External Examiners

Examination Board teams are advised that the Government’s requirements changed on 01 October 2022, and that Coronavirus-adjusted remote checks are no longer valid. Instead an in-person or a Home Office online Right to Work check must be conducted for all new Undergraduate External Examiners in the first year of their appointment.  

Please read the HR guidance for acceptable Right to Work documentation and undertaking Right to Work verification checks as the Government’s requirements changed on 01 October 2022. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/human-resources/working-ucl/hr-services/immigration/guide-right-work-checks 

Academic Services will cover External Examiners’ expenses for one in-person visit to check Right to Work which should take place early in the Academic Year (as is feasible).  

You are advised to combine the External Examiner’s in-person Right to Work check visit with, for example, a departmental induction event/meeting with students and the wider team.  

If you have any queries about Right to Work documentation or the verification process, please ask your Department’s HR Contact for guidance.
