Adjustment deadlines for exams
Details about the deadlines for reasonable adjustments to be added to your record for the next exam session
The University's Student Wellbeing and Inclusivity Service (SWAI) offers a range of support for students. If you have a disability or medical condition that you think could affect your performance in exams and assessments, you should contact SWAI at your earliest opportunity to discuss these. SWAI will assess whether reasonable adjustments can be put in place to support you in demonstrating your true academic potential.
Is there a deadline for adjustments to be added?
There is a deadline for each exam period by when your adjustments must be added to your record. If you are assessed as needing an adjustment after this deadline, the adjustment will still be added to your record so it is taken into account in the future, but won't be applied for that particular exam period. These deadlines are detailed below:
Semester 1 (Mon 18 Jan - Weds 3 Feb 2027)
The deadline for reasonable adjustments to be added to your record for Semester 1 exams will be in December. Exact dates will be published shortly.
