Update on national Marking and Assessment Boycott

s_uk_ucl_61_web_ready800x500.jpg Further information on the University and College Union (UCU) nationwide 'Action Short of Strike' which includes a marking and assessment boycott. This may affect some students. The University and College Union (UCU) announced a national marking and assessment boycott as part of action short of strike (ASoS), which began on Monday 24 April at UCL. During this boycott, staff who are UCU members may choose not to carry out tasks such as marking exams and assessments or processing marks. We expect that the vast majority of students will remain unaffected by this action and, in most cases, will receive their results on time, and progress, and graduate as normal. In some cases, students might experience delays in receiving some of their marks and we are working hard to minimise impact on these students. What is UCL doing? . In January, an Examinations and Assessments Contingency Panel was set up with representation from across UCL, including the Students' Union UCL Education Sabbatical Officer.
