Restricted release days (Wednesday)

This is the day before students receive their results. From 12.01am, exams office staff and heads of centre only can see results on these systems:

  • Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and A2C (make sure you click 'Send/Receive' to force A2C to check for files)
  • as 'e-documents' on Centre Services, our secure extranet:

Please note: only centre admins have permission to access results early on Centre Services. If a head of centre or any other senior member of teaching staff requires early access to results, the centre admin can give them access by following these steps:

  • Log in to Centre Services
  • Click 'Manage user roles' (if you have multiple centres you will need to select the correct one first)
  • Locate the user
  • Click 'edit' against user
  • Click the dropdown menu titled 'Roles', then select 'Centre Results Early Read'
  • Click 'save'

Please allow up to 30 minutes for the user to gain access.
