Alternative arrangements
It’s your responsibility to ensure you can make your scheduled exams on time. In some circumstances, alternative examination arrangements can be made.
Disability or medical condition
If you have a disability or medical condition that means you are unable to complete exams under normal conditions, alternative arrangements can be made. Examples include alternative venues, extra time, or use of a computer. The adjustment must be clearly related to the functional impact of your disability or medical condition in exam conditions. Make an appointment to discuss your requirements with a disability officer at UniAccess.
Recent injury
If you suffer an illness or disability before exams begin (for example, you injure your writing arm), contact UniAccess to see if special arrangements can be made for you.
Religious beliefs
If you cannot attend an exam due to your religious beliefs, alternative exam arrangements may be made by submitting a special consideration request to your Student Advising Office within five university working days after the publication of the final examination timetable on studentConnect. This includes presenting a letter from your religious leader, indicating you are a member of the congregation and will be unable to attend the scheduled exam.
Elite athletes
Alternative exam arrangements may be made for you by submitting a special consideration request to your Student Advising Office at least four weeks prior to the exam period; unless it is a deferred exam where applications must be received within three university working days after the publication of the timetable. You can sit the exam at the scheduled time away from the University or you may require a deferred exam.
Deferred or supplementary exams
If you’re sitting a deferred or supplementary exam, you are still required to read the information relating to main exams to ensure you’re fully prepared.
Timetable and results
Your personal timetable will display the date, time and assessment type for your exams on studentConnect at least 10 days before the exam period.
If you pass your deferred exam your mark will contribute to your existing unit mark.
If you pass your supplementary exam, you’ll receive a grade of PS (Pass Supplementary). No mark will show on your record; however, a mark of 50 per cent will be used to calculate your weighted average mark (WAM) and grade point average (GPA).
If you fail your supplementary exam, you’ll receive a grade of FS (Fail Supplementary). The original mark will show on your record and can be used to calculate your WAM and GPA you received.
It's important to be aware of how this may affect you in terms of delaying certain aspects of your course. For example, sitting a deferred or supplementary exam will delay when you receive your results, which means you are not able to graduate in the next graduation period. E.g. students sitting Semester 1 deferred or supplementary exams are not permitted to graduate in July and students sitting Semester 2 deferred or supplementary exams are not permitted to graduate in December.
