If you cannot see an exam which you are expecting to take, on the timetable, please contact the Assessment Team.
Examination Attendance
Attendance at examinations is compulsory and no alternative dates can be arranged. Students are responsible for presenting for examination in accordance with the published timetable. Failure to attend without good reason is counted as a sit and attracts the mark of zero (Academic Regulation F7.4).
All students who are registered for an examinable module will be contacted via their university and personal email accounts a minimum of 2 weeks before the date of the first exam. This email will contain details of the date, time and location of their examinations. If you do not receive your timetable please contact the Assessment Team.
Students that have been assessed for additional exam arrangements will have their exam on the same day and time as displayed on the main time table. On your email you will be notified of any other arrangements that have been made for you. If this is not noted on your email you must contact assessments immediately.
For further information about examinations, please contact the Assessment Team.

Reasonable Adjustments
Additional exam arrangements are made for students with disabilities or unforeseen medical circumstances, in line with the Equality Act 2010. A range of reasonable adjustments can be made in appropriate cases, e.g. separate rooms, computers, specialist software, large print papers, extra time and use of electronic devices.
