Cannot take or missed exam

What should I do if I cannot take, am late for, or have missed my exam?

You must ensure you are available to attend your online assessments during the exam period. The University will not reschedule exams for circumstances that are considered reasonably in your control, such as employment commitments, travel, and social engagements such as weddings or birthdays.

I am running late for my exam

For on campus exams, you will still be permitted to enter your exam up to 30 minutes after the start of the writing time. After this time, if no student has left the venue, you will be permitted to enter your exam. You will not be given any extra time to complete your exam if you are late. 

For online exams, you can commence your exam any time after its start time and before its end time, however you won't be granted extra time to complete your exam if you are late.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to apply for Special Consideration. There are strict deadlines for submitting a Special Consideration application.
