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.
Missed a centrally conducted Alternative Exam?
Law students may apply to the Faculty for a final opportunity to sit their exam if they were approved to undertake an alternative exam but missed that exam owing to circumstances beyond their control (eg. illness, family emergency, etc)
This process is called the exam after the examination period process. Applying for an exam does not guarantee that your application will be approved.
To apply for an exam after the examination period please complete this request form.
All applications are to be completed within two working days of the missed alternative exam and must be accompanied by appropriate supporting documents. In the case of illness, a Professional Authority Form must be completed - medical certificates will not be accepted. Please see the list of approved supporting documents for other circumstances.
The Law Faculty's Exam After the Examination period is held five working days after the last centrally conducted alternative exam. These exams are held over the course of two working days. No further exam accommodations can be made.
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.
