Thanks to those staff who completed the referral timing and mid-year Boards of Examiners surveys. Outcomes are here and were reported to the University. It is anticipated that the referral week will move to the week before Graduation for the 2018/19 session and that mid-year Boards will become optional from 2018/19 onwards; confirmation of these changes is pending.

Lecture timings

A reminder that the standard model is for single lectures to last 50 minutes, with a ten-minute break afterwards to facilitate room changes.

Marybone AV Support

If you encounter any issues, please now call Tithebarn St technical support on x5875. AV assistance signage in Marybone was updated over the winter break to reflect this change and it should facilitate more timely support.

Outlook tips

If you right-click on a student’s email address in Outlook and select ‘Open Outlook Properties’:

> The ‘email addresses’ tab provides the student’s six-digit registration number

> The ‘memberships’ tab lists the modules that they are registered on
