Alternative exam arrangements
Arrangements for students with an Access Plan
Students with disabilities may negotiate an agreement to alter the standard examination conditions. If you believe you require alternative exam arrangements please contact the Disability Service at the Learning and Teaching Unit.
The arrangements will vary depending on the impact of the disability and are outlined in an Access Plan. The Access Plan will be provided to you and your Program Director by the Disability Service at the Learning and Teaching Unit.
Your Access Plan must be in place no later than four weeks before the Mid Year and End of Year exam periods and three weeks before all other exam periods (e.g. secondary assessment exam periods, Postgraduate or Law exam periods). You must bring your Access Plan to your examination.
The arrangements that are agreed upon can be temporary or can be in effect for the duration of your study, depending on whether the disability is temporary (e.g. broken arm), fluctuating or permanent.
Equipment and extra time
Invigilators will be provided with equipment and extra time details as outlined in your Access Plan.
Off campus exam arrangements for students studying a course internally
Please note: in accordance with Assessment Policy and Procedure
APPM 6.8 Off-campus examination arrangements for students studying a
course internally
6.8.1 Students studying a course internally are expected to be available for all examinations at the specified venue during the examination periods.
6.8.2 (a) Where an internal student is offered an examination in the examination period in February, they are expected to make reasonable attempts to attend the specified venue by delaying or deferring travel elsewhere
6.8.2 (b) Where it is not possible for a student to delay or defer travel, and they have a home address recorded on the student record system outside of South Australia, an internal student can apply to sit the examination off-campus.
If you have been offered a supplementary assessment or a deferred
examination/assessment in one or more courses and you have arranged to
return home immediately after the examinations, you should organise to
sit the assessment/examination off-campus before you return home.
Complete and lodge the
off campus exam arrangement form (DOC 98KB) with payment at any Campus
Central Office within five working days of notification of the deferred
examination/assessment. The administration charge to sit off campus is
$150.
The University will arrange for all students to sit their exams at approved
examination centres. The examination centre that you are allocated will be based
on the address that you have recorded with the University. Students are no
longer permitted to arrange for a private Invigilator to supervise their exams.
The
Deferred Examination Timetable will be available on the web. Shortly
after the examination timetable becomes available you will receive an
email or letter advising you of the examination centre that you have
been allocated to and the exact date/time. Off-campus examinations and
assessments are to be taken at the same time as on-campus examinations
and assessments.
