Submitting scripts by fax

Due to the ongoing postal strikes, we have decided to continue to accept scripts via fax or email.

Scripts faxed to the number below will arrive at ActEd as an attachment to an email. We will print out and mark the script before posting it back to you in the normal way.

If you wish to use this method, you must follow the following guidelines, or your script will not be accepted:

• Fax your script (including the cover sheet) to 0870 330 5960.
• Write in black ink using a medium-sized nib because we will be unable to mark illegible scripts.
• Leave at least 2cm margin on all borders.
• Number all pages of your script (excluding the cover sheet).
• Write the total number of pages (excluding the cover sheet) clearly on the cover sheet.
• Write on one side of the paper only (so that you can fax your script in the correct order in one go).

In addition:

• We recommend that you stay by the fax machine until the fax has been sent so that you can deal with any problems immediately. (If an error occurs, please re-fax the whole script.)
• An email will be sent by the end of the next working day to confirm that we have processed your script. Please do not phone to check progress before then. If the fax was sent without error then it's very unlikely that there will be a problem.
• Deadline dates still apply but we will accept scripts faxed to us on the deadline date. Late scripts will not be marked.
• We will continue to accept posted scripts, but you should receive your script back from us more promptly if it is faxed or emailed.

We will not accept:

• scripts submitted to other ActEd fax numbers - please use 0870 330 5960.
• more than one fax per script.
• more than one script per fax.
• jumbled scripts - please fax the pages in the correct order.

If you would prefer, you can scan your script and email it to:

ActEdMarking@bpp.com

Please title the email in the form of CT1 X4 No. 12345 with the appropriate assignment and ActEd student number entered.
