UCU industrial action to take place from 20 April

psws2018_159_web_ready800x500.jpg The national University and College Union (UCU) has announced plans for nationwide 'Action Short of Strike', including a marking and assessment boycott, which may affect your studies Some staff will be taking part in a period of continuous 'Action Short of Strike' (ASoS) from 20 April 2023. For this period of industrial action, ASoS will include a marking and assessment boycott for the first time. This means that some staff may not carry out marking and associated assessment activities/duties, including supporting you as you prepare for assessment. This also covers other assessment-related work such as exam invigilation, the processing of marks and preparation for and running of exam boards. The impact is likely to vary according to your particular course and department. Not all UCL staff are members of the union, and the vast majority of staff will be assessing and marking as usual. Our priority is to minimise the impact of this boycott and we will do everything we can to support your educational outcomes and wellbeing.
