Important student news
Failed and Deferred Assessment Guide now online
Award results and module results for Semester 1 are now
available on e:Vision. We hope the results
position you well for Semester 2 and beyond.
Some of you, however, may have outstanding deferred modules, or
modules with fail marks. Registry are currently writing
individually to those students, with instructions on what to do
next, regarding resits. We have written a guide on
failed and deferred assessment that contains all the
information you need to apply for re-examination or, if
appropriate, to take deferred assessment. It is important that you
read this guide carefully. You can also
download this guide as a PDF document.
If you have any queries about your results and what you must do
to progress to the next year, please contact Registry staff
immediately for advice, either in person at the Student Advice
Counter, Holgate Building, by e-mailing registry@yorksj.ac.uk or by
calling direct on 01904 876849 / 876776 / 876923.
Don’t have a rubbish Easter – a message from City of York
Council Street Environment & Enforcement Team
The
Spring Term went fast! Easter is upon us and some of you
lucky students are going home for a few weeks….please remember a
few common courtesies as you leave your accommodation.
- Your rubbish collection
will not change over the Easter period. Bank holiday
collections remain the same.
- PLEASE
only put your rubbish out on the day its due to be collected, or no
earlier than 7pm the day before. If you can’t do this, ask a
neighbour to help.
- PLEASE
DON’T leave it out any earlier as it can be damaged by
vehicles, animals, vermin or even identify thieves. Not to
mention its law breaking.
If you have any extra waste
that you need to be rid of, visit James Street Household Waste
Recycling Centre or arrange a bulky collection if its not bagged
rubbish - for help and advice visit www.york.gov.uk/waste or
call the York Customer Contact Centre on York (01904) 551551.
WARNING!!!
Don’t have a rubbish
end to your degree! Putting rubbish out at the wrong
time or dumping it are criminal offences. If you are found
guilty, you could leave your studies with a criminal record and a
hefty fine of up to £50,000.
Have a great break and we’ll
see you in April.

Assessment results
Module results for Semester 1 2009/10 will be
available on e:Vision during February. The
marks shown will not be formally 'agreed' until after the meeting
of your Faculty's 'Subject-Area Assessment Panel', and therefore
are subject to change before then. If you have any queries about
the results shown please contact your Faculty office. Results will
be confirmed in writing after the meeting of the University's
'Board of Examiners for Progress and Award' on Thursday 4
March 2010. Please do not contact Registry about module
results before then.
Award results will be published on e:Vision from Thursday
4 March 2010, following the meeting of the Board
of Examiners. Please do not telephone Registry for information
about your award before then - we will send award letters to your
home address immediately after the Board. Please use e:Vision to ensure your home
address is kept up-to-date so that this letter can reach you
promptly.
Tick Off To Take Off!
Have you been selected
to Study Abroad? If you have, and you’ve got
through the interviews and accepted your place, all the hard work
is not quite done yet.
In the next few weeks you’ll need to complete a formal
application to your Partner University, choose the modules you want
to study overseas, organise your finances and visa and make
some preliminary preparations for your return – before you even
leave! So, there’s a lot to organise in a fairly short space of
time. That’s why we’ve set up this tutorial: it’ll guide you
through the administrative journey you need to make before you
embark on your adventure overseas. Click here to log in
and get started!
Please be aware this service is still in its infancy, and
there's lots more help and info on its way.
