Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What are the opening hours of the UWBS School Office
Term time and Vacation: 9.00am – 5.00pm Monday to Friday
2. What should I do if I can’t make an assignment deadline
Contact the Student Office to seek an extension. The Student Office can approve a one
week extension. Alternatively, where your illness or personal difficulty is so serious that you
consider your performance in one or more modules has been affected, or you are unable to
attend a formal examination, you should seek extenuating circumstances. If your claim is
accepted you will normally be offered the opportunity to take assessment as if for the first
time (with no grade penalty) within the current year. However, please note the assessment
task may have changed. Extenuating circumstances forms are available online via e:Vision.
3. If I am unable to attend a class session, whom should I notify in order to obtain any
handouts
All module materials can be accessed via WOLF.
4. What happens if I need a leave of absence (LOA)
You may request a LOA of up to four semesters. LOA forms are available online via
e:Vision. Please indicate when you are returning.
5. What must I do if I change my name or address
A student can change their address and telephone contact numbers through their e-Vision
record. However, documentary proof is required for a change of name.
6. When and how do I get my results
At the end of each semester you will not be sent a results letter, you will need to check
your results on e:Vision.
Please do not telephone in for your results - we do not release them over the
telephone.
7. What happens if I fail a module with an E grade
If you fail a module with an E grade you will have the right to attempt the failed
assessment(s) once, within the current academic year. If successful, you are limited to a
maximum grade of D for the assessment(s) you resit, regardless of your actual performance.
The overall grade for the module will be calculated on the basis of grades achieved in
assessment(s) passed at the first attempt and the bare pass awarded for assessment(s) you
resit. Where the resit is coursework it will normally be undertaken in June and submitted in
July. Where this is an examination, it will normally take place during the resit examination
week in July. Please check the University exam timetable for resit examination dates and
times.
In some cases, where modules run in both semester one and semester two,
you may be able to resit a failed assessment from semester one during
semester two. Please check with the appropriate module leader to determine
if this is possible.
