Interruption of Studies at Escape Studios

On occasion our undergraduate students at Escape find that for whatever reason, personal or professional, they need to apply for an Interruption of Studies (also known as a suspension of studies).

Interruption of studies means exactly that - our undergraduate students can interrupt their studies, typically for a year, then pick up the course in a year's time. 

 In other words, you press the Pause Button.

Why Animators Should Submit Early

Don't wait until the very last minute!

Deadlines matter, and for all our students at Escape Studios, it is very important to submit formal assessed work on time. 

At Escape Studios the animation lecturers have very little leeway in accepting late submissions.  Our recommendation to all our  students is this: Don't wait until the due date to submit your work.  Instead, aim to submit your work the night before. 

How 2nd Marking Works at Escape Studios

Michael Davies teaching at Escape Studios

Now that the academic year is coming to an end, our tutors at Escape Studios are busy marking student work, and also carrying out second marking.

Second marking at Escape Studios is part of the process by which we ensure that our academic standards are being rigorously applied. Was the marking fair? Is it reasonable? Were the correct criteria applied?

Looking at your students' work through the eyes of another is a valuable exercise; it is a reminder of how personal marking can be, and how important it is to apply rigidly objective criteria. We don't always get it right first time, which is why second marking is so important.

Mit Circs and Extensions at Escape Studios

What happens if a student fails to meet an academic deadline at Escape Studios? Or, if a student hasn't yet missed a deadline, but thinks they might miss it? There are two online forms our students need to know about.

The first form is the Extenuating Circumstances form, which applies when a student - through no fault of their own - fails to meet an academic deadline. The second is the Deadline Extension Form, which applies when a student needs more time to complete a project - but has not yet missed the deadline.
