Alternative exam arrangements
For examination adjustments to be put in place we require appropriate supporting evidence. Once in place, they will be maintained throughout your time at the University but can be reviewed and updated as necessary.
Reasonable adjustments in exams can include:
- Additional time
- Room adjustments
- Use of a computer
- Adjustments to the format of exam papers
- Support workers (scribes or readers)
These examination adjustments, when approved by Disability Support Services, may not be relevant for all the assessments you take during your time at University. Please speak to the relevant person in your School/Department prior to any timed assessments to verify the accommodations that are in place.
If you move from an undergraduate to a postgraduate course please contact us to confirm you still require the same arrangements.
Please contact us as soon as you become aware you need support. Do not wait till the published deadline dates below.
To set up your Support Plan now please follow the instructions on Tell us of a Disability webpage

Further information on exam procedures and adjustments for students with a disability or long term medcial condition can be viewed in the University of Nottingham's Quality Manual.
Please note that exam stress, anxiety, panic or nerves are experienced by many students and these are not normally a sufficient reason to provide reasonable adjustments. If you are feeling particularly anxious you can view the Counselling Services' selfhelp resources which include exam anxiety.
