There was an issue with FASER which meant that exam papers were not released to students by 9:55am.
The issue was fixed at 10:15am, and exam papers should be available to download. You will be required to refresh FASER within your web browser to see the exam paper.
If you’re still having problems with downloading your exam paper, please get in contact with the IT Helpdesk through email or via our live chat
We apologies for the trouble caused, and thank you for your patience during this time.
We’ve been able to solve the problem and FASER is now sending out e-mails again. If you’d like an e-mail receipt for a file you uploaded between 3am and 9:30am please get in touch with the IT Helpdesk and we’ll be able to send you a new one.
We’re currently aware of an issue that’s stopping FASER from sending e-mails, including the file uploaded receipt.
Don’t panic! This doesn’t prevent FASER from accepting submissions, it just means that you won’t receive your e-mail receipt until we fix the problem. When you upload a file to FASER, you should see the Submission Details pop-up window which tells you that FASER has your submission, which you can use as proof of upload:
The green “FASER has your submission” alert means your upload has been accepted
If you close this window, you can get it back again by clicking your uploaded file and selecting Details from the drop-down menu.
13:12 – 11/05/2020

Apologies for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for your patience.
