Deadline approaching to enter assessment dates by bulk upload into Portico

The Assessment Dates Task is available in Portico until Thursday 31 October for departments to enter their assessment dates by bulk upload.

Departments can access the task via the Curricular Management tab in Portico, guidance is provided in the Assessment Dates Task User Guide. Current dates are populated based on what was submitted last academic year to reflect the 24/25 dates.

Dates can be uploaded for all terms in the 2024/25 academic year. The task will be reopened for 2 weeks at the start of term 2 and 3 for revisions.

Dates that the Assessment Dates Task will be re-opened:

• Monday 13 Jan – Friday 24 January 2025
• Monday 28 April – Friday 9 May 2025

Please note: 

• The controlled condition exams will be available on your download, please do not populate these dates. The Central Assessment Team will be responsible for adding them to Portico. 

• Ensure you add dates in the format DD/MM/YYYY. Sharing spreadsheets via teams can cause confusion and amend the dates to the American format, so we recommend avoiding using Teams to share the spreadsheet, or, if you do, double check the dates are correct before upload. 

• Do not use weekend dates, or UCL closure dates for submissions. 

Populated Assessment Dates are essential for the submission of Delayed Assessment Permits, and beneficial for the Extenuating Circumstances task (by auto-populating the dates for students and so reducing scope for error. Note, these can be over-written by students where needed, for example SoRA extensions).
