We have exactly the same problem at brighton, plus there are students we
have invoiced for tuition fees who are phoning to say thye have been
assessed, but did not even appear on the SLC disks.
I think we are planning on attaching a list to the attendance confirmation
report, and will wait and see what happens.
Life is never simple at the moment!
