Merging Access Arrangements & Candidate Management

With the addition of these two new access arrangement options, it may be necessary to merge existing arrangements to align with the updated JCQ specifications. Schools that have previously created their own arrangements should review and merge them accordingly using Modules > Examination > Special Access Arrangements to maintain consistency and compliance.

When merging access arrangements, the newly added options will be available for selection.

Further information about the merging process for Access Arrangements can be found within Bromcom Docs How to Merge Special Requirements with Access Arrangements
