Interchange

What is OCR Interchange?

OCR Interchange is a free, secure website which offers a variety of services for exams officers and teachers. 

Interchange supports every stage of the teaching and exams cycle, allowing you to complete day-to-day administrative functions, e.g. make entries and claims, submit internal assessment marks, view results and assessor reports, and submit post-results service requests. 

It also provides access to Active Results, our free results analysis service, the OCR Repository, a secure portal where candidate work can be uploaded and submitted, and much more.

Getting started: New users

If you're a new user at a registered centre:

• Contact your centre administrator (usually the exams officer) to request a login with the appropriate access. 
• A full list of user roles and permissions can be found on the following page:

• If you’re unsure whether your centre is registered to use Interchange or you cannot locate your administrator, please email our Customer Support Team: cast@ocr.org.uk. 

Getting started: Centres new to Interchange

If your centre is new to Interchange and does not currently have an Interchange account:

1. Nominate a centre administrator – The centre administrator controls Interchange access within a centre (this role will often be carried out by the exams officer).
2. Complete and return the OCR Interchange Agreement to the Customer Support Team at cast@ocr.org.uk.
3. We will then email you the following details:
   • Login ID – Usually your centre number
   • Username – Usually a combination of your first name and surname
   • Password – You can change your password to something easy to remember at any time after logging in by hovering over ‘Admin’ from the main menu and clicking on ‘Change your password’.
4. You can now set up and manage additional users within your centre. A full list of user roles and permissions can be found on the following page:
   
   Manage user accounts
   
   
5. If your centre administrator leaves, please complete and send us a new Interchange Agreement, informing us the previous administrator has left.
