Amending module component deadlines in Portico

23 January 2024

From 26 January – 9 February, Department and Faculty staff will be able to amend module component deadlines in Portico

From Thursday 26 January to Friday 9 February, Department and Faculty staff will be able to amend assessment dates in Portico for the 2023/24 academic year. Assessment deadlines for Term 2 and Term 3 modules can be amended (previous Term 1 deadlines cannot be changed). 

Update: Some departments have reported issues with editing dates where there are two deliveries of a module in different terms. We are looking into this and should have a fix soon. In the meantime, if you experience this issue, please add your changes to our logs and we will make these for you. This issue should only affect a minority of changes. 

Previously these dates were submitted via spreadsheet to the Lifecycle team, so this is a positive improvement which enables departments to manage the deadlines themselves. This also feeds into the Extenuating Circumstances task, populating the assessment date for students on their EC application which should reduce date entry errors (note that students can still amend these assessment dates, e.g. to reflect a SORA extension). 

Viewing the Detailed Assessment Data Report

To see all dates held within the task, you can run the Detailed Assessment Data Report (found in Curriculum Management > Curriculum Data Reports container).  Ensure you change the Academic Year to 2023. Column AK of the report shows the dates held within the task.
