I am a tad confused.
Our exams officer has been contacted by Kirsty Stewart - 'Closure and Completion', during our half term holiday, to say that marks and samples need to be submitted by 4th November, a Sunday!?
I have had no reply to emails requesting clarification.
I assume 'C&C' have made a mistake and that the originally advised date as above stands.
Given the urgency of the situation I'd appreciate your earliest response.
Kind Regards
Chris
Dear Chris
Thanks for your email and sorry that you did not receive an immediate response from C&C.
The reminder was an error, as you suspected. The correct date is 5th November.I am investigating the cause of the error & will ensure that it is not repeated.Thanks for alerting us and good luck with getting your sample sent off.
