Distance Learning Students

ASSESSMENT PERIOD 2023/2024

Special Circumstances:  Please make sure you let your department(s) know of any special circumstances (medical, personal etc) which might affect your performance in plenty of time and BEFORE the meetings of the next examination boards.  You should do this by completing a “Special Circumstances Form” which you can obtain from your department, as a link from your Student Record on the Web or at the following web address:  http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/academic/special-circumstances/ .  Students must submit the special circumstances form to their academic department(s) along with any supporting evidence.    It is much harder to get your module marks amended once they have been agreed by departmental and Senate examination boards.

Next Results:  Following the Examination Boards your results will be posted to your “Student Record”  https://studentrecord.aber.ac.uk/en/login.php on the web for you to access.  Results will be available from Thursday 22 February.

It is important that you check your University student email account regularly as this is often our primary way of contacting you and act upon any correspondence sent to you regarding your performance following confirmation of your results.  Failure to do so might lead to problems for you later in the session.

If you require advice or support we are available via email, telephone (see below) and the chat facility on this page.
