Once again the pandemic situation has meant changes and challenges for us all as we negotiate our way through the next few weeks and months.
We appreciate that during this unsettling time your ability to study and perform to your full potential in assessments may have been impacted and we want to reassure you that we have a number of measures in place to support you and your achievements during this year. We would like to express our thanks to all students and particularly our Students’ Union who have been involved in the discussions to ensure we have a broad suite of safety net measures in place. This includes measures which can positively impact on marks and final degree classifications, which maintain the quality and standards of our degrees but also ensure your outcomes are fair and appropriate, reflecting all your hard work, given the current circumstances.
As well as the measures explained through the link below, which are in place now, we are developing an additional process to support students on all taught programmes. We will consider all module marks through a “Covid Impact Review” process that will occur before the main Examination Boards in the summer. We are developing the final details for this now in consultation with teaching teams and will provide further information as soon as we can.
These measures are explained in a set of FAQs at www.lincoln.ac.uk/coronavirus and through this page: https://studentservices.lincoln.ac.uk/life-at-university/continued-support-during-covid19/
I hope you are all staying safe and navigating this lockdown, wherever you are at the moment. We have been in touch with you previously to explain the current situation with face to face and online teaching and we are working on plans to ensure we can safely return to our previous levels of face to face teaching for all subjects as quickly as the Government allows. As soon as we know more we will be in touch to update you.
We are working very hard to ensure we deliver the best possible learning experience during this time. If you have any questions or feedback please do contact your personal tutor or school in the first instance.
Most importantly, please remember that if you are struggling with any personal or academic issues there are lots of different people who are here to help you, please contact Student Services – https://studentservices.lincoln.ac.uk, email studentsupport@lincoln.ac.uk or the SU Advice Centre – https://lincolnsu.com/advice. Please stay safe and look out for each other.
Best wishes
