...get access to SAINT

If you are a member of University staff and need access to SAINT, please ask your line manager to contact the ICT Service Desk (ICTServiceDesk@bradford.ac.uk or call x3333). The Service Desk will add SAINT to your user profile and the SAINT Team will set up your access and send you an email with the details.
If you are working at the University, but are not employed by the University (e.g. temporary staff), please read this document on Creation of IT Accounts for Staff for instructions.
Once you have access to SAINT, you may find the Introduction to SAINT document useful, and perhaps some of the other documents in the ...use SAINT more quickly and efficiently section of this page

...use SAINT more quickly and efficiently

The SAINT Team have produced a number of useful documents to help you use SAINT more quickly and efficiently.

For new users, the SAINT Quick Reference Guide, list of Commonly Used Screens and the Keyboard Template will be very useful.
Once you've found your way around the system, our documents on retrieving records and sorting records might be useful, along with the Hub screen which allows you to see lots of details about a particular student all on one screen.
For more advanced users, we have documents on how to export data, exporting data using an SRL, and exporting records using Gold Bar.
There are also documents on using the Quick Analysis tool, system navigation and changing the font in SAINT

...deal with marks/progression and award

Progression and Award can be broken down into 3 parts:

Part 1: Pre-Assessment Committee - entering marks and producing documentation for Assessment Committees (also known as Brad reports)
- Some schools also use Sigma AC to produce statistics for the Assessment Committee (instructions in the Part 1 documentation above)
Part 2: Pre-Board of Examiners - confirming the marks agreed by the Assessment Committee and producing documentation for the Board of Examiners
- For 2009, there is a new, web-based report for the Board of Examiners. The Part 2 documentation (above) details how to use this report.
- The link to the reports is here
- To convert web-based reports into Excel for printing (UG only), there is an Excel 2007 macro and instructions on how to use the Excel macro.
Part 3: Post-Board of Examiners - confirming the decisions agreed by the Board of Examiners and producing pass lists and results letters

Our one-page crib sheet covers the entire process - useful as a prompt sheet! There is also a list of FAQs from the training sessions held in April/May 2009.
