Registration and attendance confirmations for academic year 2024/25
Now is a good time to undertake an ‘end of year’ clean up of your worklists. The earliest deadline for payment was 1 May. This was for liability 3 attendance confirmations to release fee payments for term 3. You should also check there are no outstanding registrations on your worklists. In addition, please check previous years for reassessments that have come back on your attendance worklist. This is to reconfirm attendance in acceptance of the changes made and will let us release payments or recover overpayments.
