Submission of digital files for coursework assessment in Art and Design, Media, Music, Music: Portfolio and Music Technology

Centres are required to submit audio visual and/or digital assessment materials to us on behalf of their candidates.

You’ll be able to submit digital files again for the components listed below from Monday 3 March. This service replaces the need for you to submit audio visual and/or digital assessment materials on a pen drive or CD. Where possible, you should use this service for the submission of digital files.

As a result of feedback from Music teachers, we’ve expanded the service for 2025 to include coursework for Music.

* Please note, this applies to work that is impractical to view as a hard copy. You can use the digital submission service to submit final pieces and design solutions for moving image, animation, and website design. All candidates must still submit physical portfolios.

We’ll publish a system user guide, including subject-specific information, for the service on SQA Connect next month.

You’ll still be required to complete and submit physical flyleafs and EX6 forms for all externally assessed coursework. We’ll send this stationery to you in line with the dates published in the Key Dates document on SQA Connect.

If you’ve any questions about the submission of assessment materials for these subjects, please contact Script Management on 0345 213 6612 (option 2) or email script.management@sqa.org.uk.
