Exams

Centrally Conducted Exams

Centrally conducted exams (also known as formal exams) are scheduled and conducted by the University. Further information about exams can be accessed via the UTS website. 

In the event that you are unable to attempt a Main Exam in the Final Assessment Period, refer to the University process for Alternative Examinations.

Faculty Based Exams

Faculty based exams (also known as informal exams) are scheduled by the individual Subject Coordinator and conducted at the Faculty level. Dates and times for Faculty based exams are normally specified in the relevant subject outline for each subject, or released in class by the individual Subject Coordinator or Lecturer.

Difficulties Attending a Faculty Based Exam

Students who know in advance that they will be unable to attend a Faculty based (informal) exam, due to serious illness or other circumstances beyond their control, are advised to lodge a special consideration application. A completed application must be submitted at least 10 working days prior to your scheduled exam.

Missed a Faculty Based Exam?

Students who have missed an informal Faculty based exam should complete a Special Consideration application which will be assessed by your Subject Coordinator.
