Central Examination Timetable Data

This year the collection of information used for the scheduling of the central examination timetable will be undertaken via email rather than via Portico.  Email requests were sent out to ELOs at the beginning of November. 

This task is NOT an opportunity to change assessment methods (e.g. Exam to Coursework).

The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that the details held on Portico for each examination to be centrally run and/or timetabled are accurate and to submit any timetabling requests. This information is then used to produce the central examination timetable. Please note that failure to carry out this task thoroughly may result in an incorrect timetable being published to students.

Assessment Operating Model 2024/25  

You are strongly advised to familiarise yourselves with the assessment regulations which can found here.

The following exam delivery methods are available this year:

1. In-person pen and paper examinations (centrally organised exams will take place at the ExCel Centre)
2. Remote online time limited assessments (centrally organised assessments will be delivered via WISEflow)
3. In-person online exams.  There will be a limited number of centrally managed examinations using WISEflow.  For those who indicate this as the preferred delivery method, the Exams Team will get in touch to confirm whether you can be accommodated. Those not included in the central provision can be departmentally organised, but can be included in the central timetable for the avoidance of clashes.

Resits 

If an examination has moved to/from in-person/online since last year, you may switch the resit candidates to the new delivery method.  This does not constitute a change of assessment method.

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.
