Student ID

Student ID is required for all exams. If you do not have a photo ID card you must complete an ID verification form. Forms are available from the Faculty office.

Dictionary use

Dictionary use in examinations is only permitted for students who do not have English as their first language. Complete a dictionary form at the Faculty Student Administration Office and have it signed there. Take the form and your dictionary to the examination where the supervisor will check it before the start.

Sitting an examination out of time or place

It is possible to sit an examination at a different time or place only under exceptional circumstances. These are assessed on a case-by-case basis. An application form must be completed well in advance of the examination date. Independent supporting documentation must be provided in all cases. Application forms are available from the Faculty office.
