Requesting a role
Unit Leader and Course Leader information is now referenced from the Quercus database. Because of this, these roles must be approved by your School Executive Officer and added to Quercus before the role can be assigned in SOL.
Unit Leader
You can request to be Unit Leader on a unit page via the enrolment self-service. Further instructions can be found here. Please note that requests for Unit Leader enrolment may take up to 48 hours.
Tutor and Non-editing Tutor
You can add yourself as a Tutor or Non-editing Tutor on a unit page via the enrolment-self service. Further instructions can be found here. Please contact LTU@solent.ac.uk if you would like to be enrolled as a Tutor on a page that may contain sensitive information.
Course Leader
If you would like to be listed as Course Leader on a Course Page, please contact Student.Registry@solent.ac.uk. They will need to confirm your Course Leader status.
