FOR SEMESTER 1 THIS ACADEMIC YEAR, ACADEMIC STAFF WERE REQUESTED TO
PROVIDE GRADE LISTS BY 8 JANUARY LATEST. HOWEVER, SOME GRADE LISTS WERE
RECEIVED PRIOR TO THIS, GRADES WERE ENTERED AND 24 HOURS LATER, STUDENTS
COULD ACCESS THEIR RESULTS ELECTRONICALLY VIA THE STUDENT PORTAL.
PUBLICATION OF RESULTS IS DONE DEPARTMENTALLY, SO TIME SCALES VARY FOR THIS.
ALL STUDENTS HAD RESULTS POSTED TO THEIR HOME ADDRESS ON FRIDAY 25 JANUARY,
IN PREPARATION FOR SEMESTER 2 REGISTRATION.

FACULTY OFFICERS WILL WRITE TO ALL STUDENTS TO REQUEST THAT THEY MAKE

I am relatively new here and hope that I haven't missed anything out. I
have attached results from a recent survey I conducted through JISCMail
looking at modularised, semesterised programmes as one of the questions was
looking at graduation timings and business processes. I hope it may be of
use. I would also appreciate feedback from this survey, wich will feed into
our Student Project at Stirling.
Regards,
Brian
