For guidance on completing exams, read the Student Handbook for exams.
Before you attend an on-campus exam
- Check you have your UniCard, or photo ID, as this is a requirement to attend an on-campus exam.
- Check your exam timetable. You can find your exam timetable in MyTimetable. All exam times get listed in UK time. Make sure your devices are set to UK time to avoid missing your exam.
- Check the location and start time of your exam. Exams for the same module can take place in different locations. You can only sit your exam at the location and time listed on MyTimetable. You can find a map of each campus on the Our Campuses webpage.
- If you have a specific provision, check that your venue includes ‘SP’ in its title. Learn more about specific provisions during exams.
- If you need a calculator for your exam, check and follow the calculator regulations.
