Access Grading

ACCESS GRADING

This page is being populated with a range of guidance and template documents to support the implementation of grading for Access courses.

Grade descriptor allocations to units are available from your college Access Coordinator or from your Access centre's OCNSER Workspace area in 'Documents'.

This page will be updated regularly in the first few weeks of the autumn term so do come back again. If you have any examples of new documents you have developed for grading please do send them into our Access office so we can share good practice (send to s.martin@ocnser.org.uk).

If you have any queries please call the Access office Mon - Thurs 9.00am - 5.00pm on 01227 827823.
