Your personal exam timetable for this semester is now available to view via your SUSSED account. It includes the time, date, location and seat number for your exams.
To help things run smoothly on the day, make sure you:
- Take note of your venue and seat number
- Familiarise yourself with the venue – use this detailed University map
- Double check your timetable on the morning of your exam: if exams are cancelled due to extraordinary circumstances (for example, extreme weather or sudden loss of exam venues), they may be rescheduled at short notice.
Plan your journey
You will not be allowed any extra time if you arrive late so leave plenty of time to arrive at your venue. If you are using Unilink Buses, plan your journey on the bus website.
Know what to expect
If you require a calculator or dictionary, use an approved model. Unapproved models/versions will be taken away. For more information about assessment rules and regulations including instructions to candidates, what to bring, do and expect, visit the University website.
If you feel unwell or can’t attend
Do not start or continue your exam. If you feel ill or can’t attend your exam for any reason, notify The Student Hub as soon as possible. If you feel ill during your exam, raise your hand and tell the invigilator.
Special considerations
If you are unable to attend an exam, complete an assessment or meet a deadline due to exceptional circumstances outside of your control, use the special considerations process to let us know:
- Make sure you are familiar with the guidance
- Have your supporting documents ready before completing the form
- Submit the form as soon as you can – usually no longer than five working days after any assessment or deadline may have been negatively impacted by exceptional circumstances.
If you have any issues during your exam or uploading files
Take screenshots or photos of the error notices on your screen, and make sure they clearly show the time. Submit the evidence as soon as you can via a Special Consideration request to your School.
Library services
Hartley Library gets busy between 11:00 and 16:00 on weekdays during this period so it’s recommended to find study spaces first thing in the morning and evening. If you are struggling to find a study space, speak to a member of the library team at the main helpdesk. Visit the Library website for opening hours, borrowing books and e-books, resources for your subject, academic skills and more.
In-person exams
Listen carefully to instructions from the invigilator and take the time to check the instructions provided. Read all the questions before you begin so you can draw up a plan and map out your answers. Use the exam papers database for past examination papers for all subjects.
If you need support
The Student Hub is your first point of contact if you have questions and concerns relating to support, exams and wellbeing, available to contact 24/7.
