Exam arrangements for disabled students

Information about exam arrangements.

We want to make sure that disabled students can complete their exams and will work with you to identify and recommend appropriate reasonable adjustments. Examples include:

  • Additional time allowances
  • A scribe
  • A small group room
  • Rest breaks

Arranging exam support

In order to access this support, you will need to contact the Disability Advice and Guidance Team and provide appropriate evidence of your disability. A member of the team will then be able to discuss your individual needs and recommend reasonable adjustments for your exams.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to exam timetabling requirements, you will need to have provided supporting evidence and met with a Disability Adviser, prior to the university administrative deadline.  Recommendations made after the deadline date for that semester cannot be implemented until the next assessment period. 

Did you receive exam adjustments in school?  Come to one of our Exam Information Sessions.  Join a webinar (via MS Teams) by registering below:
