I've just received my marks for my module and I think I should have got better marks, what can I do?
The best thing you can do is get the feedback from your personal tutor on the assessments that made up that module and try and find out exactly why you got the marks you did, you are entitled to this.
You cannot appeal your marks simply because you think you should have got better grades, however, if there has been a mistake on what you received and what was entered on your record for whatever reason, then that is something we can help with at the SU. Please contact and adviser for further help.
I've just been told I've been withdrawn from a module because of my attendance, is there anything I can do?
If you have been withdrawn due to lack of attendance, that's anything less than 75% of your module lectures, which usually equates to missing 3 lectures or more, then you should be automatically withdrawn. The reason that the university does this is because it is felt that you would not have learnt enough of the module to benefit from the teaching, and regardless or not of whether you can pass the assessments at the end of the module, it would not be a UEL taught degree.
However, if you have 75% attendance, or more, then please see your module leader to discuss this further with them.
I've just tried to access UELPlus/UELDirect/WebCT and I have been unable to get in, whats wrong?
Generally, it can be a number of things, please check the following:
- You have an outstanding debt to UEL for tuition fees (access cannot be blocked for debt accrued through an accommodation issues)
- There is a problem with your IT account, follow this link to UEL IT Services
If you have a debt with UEL for tuition fees then please go and see UEL Credit Control in order to discuss payment options (even if you are unable to pay!) it's always better to discuss this at the earliest opportunity, than it is to 'bury your head in the sand' about it.

The Most Gruesome Death
There was a long, long line of spirits at the gate waiting to get into heaven. Not all these spirits could fit into heaven, so the ones who died the worst death would be allowed in.
The first man in line started telling his story, "Well, Peter, you see, I knew that my wife was cheating on me so I decided to come home early from work one day to catch them in action. I got home and searched all over but I couldn't find him. Then when I walked out onto the balcony, there he was dangling off the darn thing by his fingertips. So I ran and got a hammer then started beating him with it and he fell. Well, the fall didn't kill him, because he landed in a bush so I picked up the refrigerator and threw it on him. Although that killed him, the strain gave me a heart attack, and here I am."
The next man came up and started his story. "St. Peter, I always work out on my balcony on the 14th floor of my apartment building. I was on my bike one day and I fell off when it flipped. I sailed over the rail and I thought "Please God spare my life" and he did. I caught on to a balcony below me. I was even happier when a man discovered me hanging there. But all of a sudden he started beating my hands with a hammer so I fell again. But the dear Lord saved me again when I landed in a bush. But I'm here now because the guy threw his refrigerator on top of me."
It was now the third guy's turn to start his story. "Well, Peter, just picture this. I'm hiding butt naked in this married chick's refrigerator....."
Sensitive Beer
Three hicks were working on a telephone tower - Steve, Bruce and Jed. Steve falls off and is killed instantly.
As the ambulance takes the body away, Bruce says, "Someone should go and tell his wife."
Jed says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it."
Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of beer.
Bruce says, "Where did you get that, Jed?"
"Steve's wife gave it to me," Jed replies.
"That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?"
Well, not exactly", Jed says. "When she answered the door, I said to her, 'You must be Steve's widow'."
She said, "No, I'm not a widow!"
And I said, "I'll bet you a case of Budweiser you are.
