Troubleshooting
If you are unable to select your assessor's name:
- Check that you have the correct spelling for your assessor’s name
- Contact your course coordinator as your assessor's name may not be in the system
If your assessor is not receiving the email to mark your work, try the following:
- Have your external assessor check their SPAM or JUNK folder in the email account.
- Have your external assessor do a search of their inbox for an email with the subject line Journal Sign-off Request from (Student Name).
- Have your external assessor complete a Lost Invitation Retrieval. This will require them to enter the email address that has been provided to your School by the external assessor.
- If still having problems contact the Library AskUs service for further assistance.
