Alternative exam arrangements
For alternative examination arrangements (reasonable 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.
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.

Please explain which adjustments you require when you upload your evidence or attach a completed 'Your Essential Information Form' too.
Reasonable adjustments can include:
- Additional time
- Room adjustments
- Use of a computer
- Use of equipment such as coloured filters
- Adjustments to the format of exam papers
- Support workers (scribes or readers)
These support arrangements 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.
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.
