Sitting exams with special conditions
If you have approved special conditions for your end of semester exams, your exam timetable may not yet fully reflect all your scheduled exams. This is due to the ongoing process of organising and scheduling your exams to ensure all your approved accommodations are in place. You are still able to view your exam date, time and mode on the full Exam timetable.
Your personal timetable will be released Friday 18 September 2026.
How does a reader/writer work with online exams?
Assessment Services will organise an experienced supervisor to write/read for you on the day of your exam. If your exam mode is Exam mode A or Exam mode B, we accomplish this by zoom and google docs. Assessment Services will be in touch with you to arrange this and give further instructions.

How extra time is applied in exams under special conditions
If you have extra writing time or extra resting time approved, it is added to the exam duration only. It is not added to other time allowances (like reading time or technical-difficulty time).
How it works:
- For a 2-hour exam, your extra time is calculated on 2 hours.
- For a 3-hour exam, your extra time is calculated on 3 hours.
What is not included in that calculation:
- For exam modes A, B, and D, these are digital exams. All students get 30 minutes for technical difficulties. This time is not included when calculating your extra time.
- For exam mode C, these are paper exams. All students get 10 minutes reading time. This time is not included when calculating your extra time.
