• Equity Examinations - for Disability or Medical Reasons
• Equity Examinations - for Religious Reasons
• Students with Examination Clashes or 3 Examinations in one Calendar Day

Equity Examinations - for Disability or Medical Reasons

Equity examinations are run every semester for students who have a disability or a medical condition which would disadvantage them should they sit the examination in the usual way.

If you think that you require an Equity Examination then please contact the University's Student Counsellor.

You will need to provide appropriate medical documentation and apply as early as possible, after the final examination timetable is released.
The deadline for making these arrangements is two weeks prior to the commencement of Centrally Scheduled.

Equity Examinations - for Religious Reasons

Students who, for religious reasons, are prevented from sitting an examination at the scheduled time may apply for an Equity examination.
If you think that you require an Equity Examination for religious reasons please contact the Examinations Office for an appointment to discuss your requirements.
You will need to provide appropriate documentation from your religious group.
It is vital that you apply as early as possible. The deadline for making these arrangements is two weeks prior to the commencement of the Centrally Scheduled examination period.

Students with Examination Clashes or 3 Examinations in one Calendar Day

Students shall not be required to take more than two (2) examinations, or other assessment activity, whether centrally administeredor not, on the same day.
A student with 3 or more examinations scheduled on 1 calendar day may elect to sit one examination at a time prior to the officially scheduled time.
If clashes appear after the publication of the draft timetable: No action required. Please await publication of final timetable.
If clashes appear after the publication of the final timetable:
A clash form is available from the Student Services Office and must be completed by the student, authorised by the School and forwarded to the Examination Office for appropriate alternative examination arrangements to be made.
