Guidance for Students with Formal Examinations

This information is intended for all students who as part of their course have formal examinations this month (May 2017) at the University’s main Brayford Pool Campus. It has also been emailed to all students.

Formal examinations take place between Monday 8th May and Friday 26th May 2017. If you are taking exams, you should already have reviewed your exam timetable, which can be found on your student timetable on Blackboard. Please ensure that you scroll forward to the first exam week and check all three exam weeks to see when your exams are scheduled.

You should read the Codes of Conduct for Examinations attached in the top right corner of your timetable before you attend your first exam.

Please check your exam timetable carefully to ensure you know the venues in which your exams are taking place. Be aware that in some instances the same exam will be scheduled in several venues due to room capacity, so please make sure that you attend the venue as stated on your timetable.

As the weather can be unpredictable over the exam period, please dress appropriately for your personal comfort. It can be cool in some of the larger exam venues. You will not be permitted to keep coats and hats on in the examination room.

If you are taking an exam where you are permitted to take in exam equipment (for example a calculator or a clean translation dictionary with no annotated notes inside), please ensure that you bring the correct equipment to your examination. If you are unsure what equipment is permitted, please check with your school office.

Mobiles phones are not permitted in the exam venues, so please ensure that if you require a calculator for your examination you bring one with you, as they will not be provided.

Finally, please remember to bring your student card to your examination.
