Information for Access Students
Student Guide to Grading
The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) introduced grading for all Access course Level 3 units in September 2009. OCNSWR have produced their own regional guide to grading for Access students, which explains the process. The OCNSWR Access Student Guide to Grading is available to download free of charge.
Access Student Stories
The Access course is a life-changing experience, as even our own Access to HE Team can testify, three of whom studied as Access students.
See our Student Stories page to read inspiring stories of Access students who completed their Access courses despite significant difficulties and went on to fulfil their dreams of studying in Higher Education.
