How to Use These Dates

  • Register your courses in the first weeks of the window, not the last. Late registration means missed TMAs, and TMAs count toward your final grade.
  • Submit each TMA inside its two-week window on the eLearning portal. There is no make-up window once it closes.
  • Check your exam timetable on the portal about two weeks before the exam block starts — venue and slot can differ by study centre.
  • Project students: the PAS submission windows are short. Upload early; the portal rejects late submissions.
