Deferred Exam or Assessment
What do I do if I can't sit my exam?
If you are unable to attend the final examination, due to unexpected and
extenuating circumstances such as medical illness, you can apply for a deferred
examination.
An application
form must be lodged at Campus Central no later than five working days after
the examination date. Please read all of the information on the first page of
the form to ensure you understand what you need to do to be eligible for a
deferred examination.

Applications for deferred assessment must be lodged at Campus Central or UniSA partner administration office, as applicable, on the appropriate form, supporting documentation must be included, as specified in 7.3, and submitted not later than five working days after the scheduled examination date or the final assessment submission deadline.
