Online Spring Access Modules

When you apply to us there may be parts of your application that meet the conditions of our Contextual admissions policy. If this is the case your offer will may include an invitation to this Online Access Summer School. 

As your offer is unique to you, please ensure that you are aware of all the conditions that it contains. The Online Spring Access Modules course is designed for those who need to complete an essential English and/or Maths qualification to meet their conditions.

You will be supported throughout your studies with us by our dedicated team. You will have access to various resources that will allow you to enhance your learning. You will study online for the duration of the course and will not have scheduled classes. This means you have the freedom to study whenever best suits you. 

Preparing for the course 

You will study online and in your own time. However, the expectation will be for you to fully engage with your modules regardless of other commitments you may have. Past experience shows that students who fail to fully engage with their modules find it significantly more difficult to meet the conditions of their offer.  

Planned absences (for example, holidays) that affect your ability to fully engage with or access the course will not be taken into account by the Exam Board as mitigating circumstances, should you fail to achieve the results required of you. 

Student services 

During Online Spring Access Modules, you will be considered to be like any other University of Dundee student. You will have full access to all university support services including: 

• Disability services 
• Academic support 

If you have received an invitation to Online Spring Access Modules, consider yourself to have a disability or have previously had additional support in place at school/college, it is important that any additional support you may require is in place for when you start the course. Once you have accepted your place at Summer School, we will send you a form to complete to begin this process. 

Financial support 

The Online Spring Access Modules are free to attend. There are no course fees. 

We do not offer any bursaries for attending this course.
