What you need to know

Your School will have issued guidance to students re online assessment. Long assessments (24 hours plus) have been designed to not require the full duration to complete therefore scheduled assessments may overlap.

Although we try to minimise congestion where possible, there will be instances where you may have overlapping long assessments, this is not in itself grounds for an EC claim.

Students need to manage their own time efficiently to allow enough time to complete their assessments in the given windows.

Assessment Windows versus Active Working Time on assessments

The total amount of time spent on the assessment should be no more than the recommended length of the assessment according to the rubric (with extra time for disabled students on support plans)

It is important to remember that online assessments of 24 hours or more do not require you to work for the full duration of time permitted and the following principles apply:

• You should prepare for the assessment in the same way as for in-person timed exams (i.e. revising in advance)
• You should not use the time during the assessment to undertake research
• The amount of active working time required for the assessment will be outlined by the School 
• You can access your exam timetable using your main University username and password.
