Students liked the easy 24 hour access

Students liked to be in control of their transcript/ diploma supplement

Complaints from students who cannot access the system

Digitary at the University of Bradford• How we used the feedback

Complaints from students who cannot access the system. Looking to widen the progression and award program to all students in summer 2009

International students struggle to follow the instructions, In particular the Chinese students- The instructions were re-written for some students

A few embassy's do not accept an on line copy- we have provided instructions to individuals on how to create an email share and create a PDF for themselves to print. We do not widely promote this as we want to promote a paperless system.
