The Education Dashboard supports staff to see student information including student ID card photos, module enrolment information from Banner, marks from Banner, and marks as recorded in Eassignments.
What can I use the Education Dashboard for?
Any member of staff can search for a student by ID or surname to view:
- Student name: note that if they have a preferred first name set in Subscribe, this will be used.
- Student username and ID number.
- The student’s Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) and PAT contact email.
- ID card photo.
- Programme and enrolment stats.
- Student email address.
- Module and module registration status for the current academic year.
- A link to a student’s timetable.
If you are Tutor you can additionally see:
- A list of your undergraduate and postgraduate taught tutees by year group, and quick email buttons.
- Available student assessment data such as module marks from banner and assignment marks from eassignments.

Marks from eAssignment may not yet be finalised or released to students. These are to serve as an indicator of student progress and should not to be shared with the student.

Set a student communication preference
On a student profile you can add a short amount of free text under Contact details to note a student’s communication preference, for example, if they prefer email over telehone calls. Click the button “Toggle edit” to bring up the text box and then “Save” to save your comments.
