RISISweb Portal – A Guide to Submitting Assessed Assignments

Henley pages

The first page you see might vary depending on what you study. However in all cases if you are a current Programme Member, in the top left hand corner, you will see your intray.

The Intray will show all your new/unread messages.

Click on the link that says “View all messages in the Intray” to see all your Henley assignments and feedback to date.

If you are expecting to find a message in your Intray, remember to use this option as it may not be in view on the initial screen because you have previously opened and read it.

If you see a message like the one below instead of your intray, either your registration period has ended or your details have not been updated on the system properly. Please contact [email protected] who will be able to advise you.
