Each School should appoint an Examination Liaison Officer (ELO).  The ELO, on behalf of the Head of School, works closely with the University Examinations Office and acts as a point of contact for the School on all matters related to the administration and conduct of examinations. 

The ELO is required to: 

• Provide critical information to assist with the examination timetabling process. 

• Coordinate examination board arrangements and the activities of external examiners. 

• Upload and approve examination papers for printing. 

• Review uploaded examination results. 

The ELO should oversee the administration of examinations within the School. This should include: 

• Ensuring that all course examination details are correct at the beginning of each semester. 

• Ensuring that examination papers are sent to external examiners for review. 

• Ensuring that papers are securely transmitted to the Examinations Office, via the University’s electronic Examination Paper Transfer Manager system. 

• Ensuring that draft examination timetables are thoroughly checked and that any issues are notified to the Examinations Office by the specified deadline. 

• Ensuring that scripts are collected from the examination halls after each examination. 

• Ensuring that scripts are marked and moderated and that Boards of Examiners meet well in advance of the University deadline for the publication of results. 

• Ensuring that results are uploaded to QSIS and published in advance of the University deadline for the publication of results.
