Examinations

If your timetable requires you to sit two or more of your exams at the same time, or you have one exam on-campus and one off-campus on the same day, you may be eligible for extenuating circumstances arrangements.

You must complete the application form for assessment task extension or replacement examination due to extenuating circumstances and email it to operationalero@adelaide.edu.au within two weeks of the timetable being published. Applications made outside of this period may not be considered.

Students will:

• receive confirmation of their arrangements via their student email.
• be required to sit both exams on the same day where possible.
• be permitted to revise between exams.

You are strongly advised not to bring a bag and/or personal items to the exam venue. The University takes no responsibility for any loss or damage to those items.

Students bringing bags into the exam venue may be subject to inspection as you enter the venue. Place all the materials you will need on your desk and put any other materials eg. mobile phones and pencil cases in your closed bag under your seat.

Only bring to an exam those items which you need to undertake the exam.
