Current UCL students' chat thread!

Terrible times!

Spent ages changing my UCL password (as per usual).
Then forgot said password, and got blocked trying to access my e-mail.
Coursework sent by my tutor still in my inbox, hadn't printed it out yet. Can't access moodle either of course.
Job applications to be sent out by 31st December (can use my gmail account, but would have LIKED to use my UCL one)
I am to understand that the ISD desk is closed until the new year (I will be phoning them on 27th like mad)....But am I going to go up to London before NYE for this??
At any rate, I will be leaving for London on the 2nd Jan at the latest, to get said coursework done!!!

Rant over. Have pity please?

Back to university in a couple of hours.


Fun.

What actually happens in term three? Obviously I know there are exams, but in the weeks after coming back from Easter and before the exam period, do you just revise independently? Sorry if this should be in the 'ask a UCL student' thread, but I am a current student so I thought I'd try here.

Anyone know where I can find my exam number? Submitting coursework and they don't want my name just a code.

On Portico, under 'results and awards'

Are you sure it's not your student number? Normally I just give in my student number for coursework.

Only have my ID nubmer. Would it be LQUAR79? (my UPI)

No.....your student number off your student ID? Don't think it's got any letters in it.

In the first year, I managed to put my student number on essays several times, no-one gave a damn about it and I was also told that as long as there's not my name it's fine. I wouldn't do it again though, just to be on the safe side.

I'm not looking forward to getting my essay marks online. I dont know why, but somehow for me clicking on a page to see the mark is more nerve-wracking than collecting an envelope!

So got my graduation details today. It's at 18.45, for a hour and a half ceremony followed by a 1-2 hour drinks reception. What?! I want to do sunny post-ceremony hat throwing in the quad then a nice dinner with my parents and drinks with my friends, not leave UCL at 22.30 and have to run for the last train home. Surely no one wants a ceremony at that time! It's prime nice-meal-to-celebrate-graduation time, and just plain inconvenient. My parents only live in Kent and this timing makes it a pain in the arse for them/us to get home, I feel sorry for anyone who lives further out!

Oh, and it's £130 just in tickets and robe hire alone. Jesus. You'd think considering tuition fees that UCL could at least let the graduand go for free.

Seriously considering seeing if you can just hire robes for the afternoon, take loads of pictures with friends and skip the ceremony in favour of a nice dinner with the parents.
