UCL announces COVID-mitigation measures for 2020-21 exams and assessments

Message to students from Professor Anthony Smith, Vice-Provost (Education and Student Affairs) on behalf of UCL Education Committee. UCL has today announced a package of adjustments to examination and assessment arrangements for 2020-21 to make sure you are not disadvantaged by the coronavirus pandemic. We have listened to what you have told us about the impact of the pandemic on your life, study and support networks. This has helped the work we have done with Students' Union UCL to develop 2020-21 COVID-19 mitigation measures to support you before, during and after assessment. Your department will contact you as soon as possible to explain exactly what this 'no detriment' package means for you and your programme. You have told us that you are concerned that you will not be able to show what you are truly capable of and so the measures we are putting in place are designed so that you can demonstrate your full academic potential and what you have been able to achieve in the context of the pandemic. They complement the adjustments that UCL departments have already made to every aspect of your education in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
