How can I view timetable of another profile?

Currently you can only view exams of the profile that have been published by the exam office. There is a future enhancement where students can choose a profile and view exams corresponding to that profile.


Do I need any additional software to view PDF?

You would need software capable of reading PDF documents, such as Adobe Reader. If this is not currently installed on your PC, you can locate it under the Warwick Tree (IT Services delivered applications). To find it, click on the word "Viewers". If for some reason you do not have access to the Tree, the software can be downloaded free from: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html


Why can't I see exams?

You can only see exams corresponding to the profile that has been published by the exam office. If the exams are not yet published, you won't see any data.

If the exams are published and you get a blank page make sure you have adobe installed. There is a known issue with some safari versions. In case you are trying to view pdf document in safari and it doesn't work, use other browser (example - Firefox/IE). If it still does not work, raise call to IT helpdesk.
