⏳ When are the provisional grades published?Evaluations are usually completed within 4 weeks of taking place. 📅✨ As soon as everything is assessed, you'll receive your provisional grade and the Tutor's comments. Keep an eye on the Campus Online announcements so you don't miss any updates! 📢✅ | |
❓ Why are the marks provisional?The grades are considered provisional because, at the end of the academic year, they all go through a review by the Accrediting University's Board of Examiners. If necessary, this Board can make adjustments to ensure that all assessments are fair and consistent. 🎓✅ | |
📅 Do I need to access the Online Campus every week?Content is made available in weekly blocks, so ideally you should create a regular study routine. This helps you not to accumulate material and to follow the course smoothly and efficiently. 📚✅ Tip: logging in every week will make it much easier for you to learn! 😉 | |
📩 How can I contact my tutor?The best way to contact your tutor is via the "Support" form on Campus Online. 🖥️✍️ He/She will reply to your request by e-mail. 📧 If you need more personal support, individual meetings can be organised. If necessary, the tutor can also contact you by phone. 📞💬 Don't hesitate to ask for help whenever you need it! 🚀😊 | |
