My Cambridge for exams officers

My Cambridge is a 'single sign-on' service, which allows you to access a number of services provided by OCR and Cambridge University Press and Assessment using one set of login details. You can access the services directly or via links on the My Cambridge 'landing page' at sso.cambridge.org.

For OCR, the services currently available via My Cambridge are: 

Teach Cambridge – a personalised and secure website providing teachers with access to all the support and resources they need for their subjects – see the Teach Cambridge page for details.

Submit for Assessment – a digital submission service for uploading and submitting candidate work – currently available for Cambridge Nationals. Take a look at our step-by-step instructions.

Access to Scripts – a free on-demand service for exams officers to download candidates' exam scripts once results have been released – available for general qualifications and Cambridge Nationals. Take a look at our step-by-step instructions.

OCR Train – free online training courses for teachers covering all aspects of internal assessment for qualifications with a moderated component or unit, including examples and marking exercises. Courses cover GCSEs, A Levels, Cambridge Technicals and Cambridge Nationals and are also accessible via Teach Cambridge.

Cambridge Technicals Progress Tracker – use this service to track the progress of students’ Cambridge Technicals unit achievements and identify whether they are eligible to receive their full qualification award before results are released. See our dedicated page.

We'll be adding more OCR services to My Cambridge over the coming months.

Access to My Cambridge within schools and colleges is managed by exams officers.

Exams officers can set up accounts for members of staff and manage which services they can access by following the instructions below.

You first need to set up My Cambridge by activating your account:

1. Go to the My Cambridge web site at sso.cambridge.org – Click the ‘Forgotten password’ link and enter the email address registered with the NCN. You will receive an email to reset your password. If you don't receive an email please contact us.
   
2. Set a new password – Click the ‘Reset my password’ link in the email and set a password. When the new password has been set you’ll see a link to sign in. 
3. Sign in – Use the password you’ve just created. 

To manage your account, click on ‘Account’ in the left-hand menu and select one of the options:

• Select ‘Personal info’ to edit your name, password or email address. You can add more than one email address to your account. 
• If you want to be able to log in using Facebook or Google, select ‘Connected accounts’ and then click ‘Connect’ as relevant. 

Once you’ve logged into My Cambridge, if you have the user management role, you can add users to your organisation (your school or college). To do this, select ‘Organisation’ on the left-hand side of the page and click ‘Users’.

If you can’t see the ‘Organisation’ menu item and you're the exams officer within your centre, please contact us so we can set this up for you. 

Click the ‘Add users(s)’ button and complete the details for each user then click ‘Save user’. This will send an email to them:

• If they are new to My Cambridge, they will receive a message to say you have created an account for them, inviting them to sign in. 
• If they already have a My Cambridge account, they will receive an invitation to join your organisation. 

Once logged in, users will see the My Cambridge home page with 'tiles' for each of the available services. If a link doesn't work, they may not have the permission to access that particular service.

Users can create their own My Cambridge accounts but until they’re invited to join an organisation and given the relevant user roles, they won’t be able to access any of the OCR services.

There are five user roles you can set up for OCR services:

• User management – this role allows users to invite and manage access for other members of staff within your school or college.
• Exams Officer – this role allows access to Access to Scripts, Teach Cambridge and the Cambridge Technicals Progress Tracker.
• Teacher – this role allows access to Teach Cambridge and the Cambridge Technicals Progress Tracker.
• Submit for Assessment: Exams Officer and Submit for Assessment: Teacher – these roles can access Submit for Assessment.

You can add roles when you add a user to your organisation. If you need to amend any roles for a user, click the ‘View’ link on the ‘Users’ page, update the check boxes and then click ‘Save changes’.

Please be aware you can't amend your own user roles.

If you have any queries, please call our Customer Support Centre on 01223 553998 or email support@ocr.org.uk.
