Academic issues – syllabus infringements following assessment. Examples of these can be found on the Drama Syllabus Infringements page.
The examiner will begin assessing the performance, but may need to refer to °®¶¹ÊÓƵ’s post-results department at any time within the two-week marking period which follows upload (and/or after an operational issue that has been identified, is resolved). Once the submission has been referred for syllabus infringement, it may then take up to a further 30 working days (6 weeks) to process and release the results back to the centre. During this time, the status on the account will be set to ‘referred’Ìý
Please note that for digital entries where there are both operational issues and syllabus infringements, these may be subject to a longer timeframe to resolve.
