Late Summer Assessment exam papers to be submitted by 19 July

Late Summer Assessments will take place from 16 August until 3 September 2021.

The Exams office will issue cover sheets and formally request exam papers via an MS Form on Wednesday 7 July, when the draft exam timetable is published. If there are any changes to dates or additional exams to be added, revised cover sheets will be sent to departments. 

Meeting this deadline is important to enable the Exams team to set up all the exams due to run in the LSA examination period.

LSA guidance

All centrally managed exams during the Late Summer Assessment period will operate in the same way as those in the main examination period: they will be either timed or 24 hour online exams taking place on AssessmentUCL.

Full information on the exams operating model, FAQs and staff guidance for AssessmentUCL can be found on the Operation of exams and assessments webpages.
