*Any deviation from the approved Calendar dates should be signed off by the relevant Dean of Faculty. 1 These periods represent the main Assessment Board activity within the University but a number of Assessment Boards will occur outwith these periods. Students will be notified of Assessment Board Results on the Student Portal within five working days of the Assessment Board and hard copy transcripts will be issued within ten working days of the Assessment Board. These timescales are applicable to all Assessment Boards. 2 The University will reopen on Friday 3 January. Library opening times over the Christmas/New Year period will be published (by the Library) nearer the time. 3 Some courses, in most cases postgraduate courses, have teaching scheduled all year round. For this purpose, reference is made to Semester Three.
