Central Assessment Timetable Data

This year the collection of information used for the scheduling of the central assessment timetable will be undertaken via email rather than via Portico.

ELOs should’ve already received an email listing their anticipated centrally organised exams for checking. The deadline for replies is 2 December. 

The purpose of this task is to ensure that the assessment data we hold is correct, to identify any examinations that must be timetabled together, and to submit scheduling requests.  

Assessment Operating Model 2022/23

The Assessment Operating Model for 2022/23 has recently been approved by Education Committee.  If you have not already familiarised yourself with the new regulations, then please do so. 

This year, while the default position will remain to deliver centrally managed assessments on-line via AssessmentUCL, we will be returning to some face-to-face delivery in exam halls for those examinations where that method of assessment has been deemed more appropriate. 

Resits 

While it is normally the case for students with trailed resits/deferrals to be assessed by the same method as was in place for the original attempt; it has been agreed that for this year, if a teaching department deems it appropriate, such candidates MAY be assessed by the 2022/23 method.   

For departments where resit candidates are expected; ELOS will be invited to advise on the preferred assessment method as part of this task. 

Use of Other Digital Platforms for Centrally Timetabled Examinations 

Where you would prefer to deliver a centrally timetabled online examination yourselves using a platform other than AssessmentUCL (e.g. Moodle); there will be a space for you to indicate this.
