Further Information
Please note, the above dates do not relate to the deadline for your External Examiner Annual Report. They are provided here as a guideline for when you can expect payment following submission of your report.
Payment requests being sent to Payroll/Finance will be dependent upon all details and documentation, such as Right to Work, VAM forms (UG and PGCE only) and bank details being in place. If any of these details/documents are missing, this will delay payment.
Payment of External Examiner fees cannot be made if your External Examiner Annual Report report has not yet been submitted.
