Full details of the dates and times for individual student examinations will be sent to you after the examination timetable is published. The examination papers, stationery and any further instructions will be uploaded to a secure folder, which you will be granted access to approximately 1-2 weeks before the start of the exam session. Please confirm that you can access the secure site and are in receipt of examination papers.
It is very important that the examination(s) take place simultaneously with the corresponding examination in Nottingham. We are not able to amend the examination dates or times.
Fees
Students should make initial contact with their chosen venue, and it is the student's responsibility to liaise with the overseas institution in relation to any local fees. The students should meet all local costs. Therefore, you will need to contact the student with details of your charges.
Day of exam
Students should show their student ID card (or photo ID) upon arrival at each examination they are due to take at your institution.
Invigilation guidance will be provided with the exam materials, which will include information about conduct in examinations but please note the following:
-
Candidates are not permitted to keep question papers
-
Candidates are not allowed to take any papers, books or loose notes into the examination room unless otherwise stated on the rubric. They are also only allowed the amount of time specified on the paper (unless advised in writing by the Exams Office)
