Personal belongings during examinations

Space will be allocated in the venues for storing bags and coats.  Candidates will be issued with plastic bags at the venues for small personal items, wallets, purses, keys, and mobile phones which must be switched off. This bag will be tied closed and placed under the candidate’s chair and should not be touched until you leave the examination hall.  Please note that if you leave the venue before the end of the examination you will not be able to collect your bag and coat until the examination has finished so please try to bring only essential items with you.

Results

Your results will be sent by post to your home address. Please ensure that we have the correct address for you as duplicate transcripts will not be provided.

NB: Because of data protection, it is not possible for Assessments staff to give out results over the telephone, by fax or e-mail.

The Assessments Section will be closed to telephone and personal callers during the main results processing period to avoid delays in publishing results. Students will be able to access their final classification or progression decision for continuing students on the web by inputting their user login and password after the dates published in the handbook. Transcripts will be posted to all students by 1 August 2012; please do not make enquiries regarding their receipt before this date.  The Assessments Team will process and post results as soon as they possibly can.

Students who are in debt to the College

The following are all forms of debt to the College and any amount, no matter how small, will delay the results of finalists: 

• Overdue library books – including Senate House library
• Outstanding library fines – including Senate House library
• Outstanding Assessment Confirmation Form (ACF) late fees
• Outstanding Art and Design debts
• Outstanding tuition fees
• Outstanding accommodation fees – including other University of London Halls

In your own interest please ensure that any recent payments made, e.g. Textile Shop, have been notified to Credit Control. Please note that any results withheld because of debt will be released 15 working days after payment is received if paid by cheque or debit/credit card.

Childcare Bursary

We are pleased to announce the success of the Childcare Bursary ventured this academic year 2011/12. The Bursary was aimed to provide assistance with childcare costs for existing students at Goldsmiths, both Home/EU and International students, provided that they were using a registered childcare provider.

Due to such high interest / demands of this scheme, we were able to offer financial support to a considerable amount of students towards their childcare costs which in turn provided our students with financial peace of mind, enabling them to focus more on their studies.

However, we have to announce that due to the enormous success of the fund, the Childcare Bursary has now been exhausted; therefore, the fund is now closed.  

We hope to administrate a similar level of support to students for the next academic year subject to funds being available.
