Before the exams
- Check the location of your exam venues... do you know where Philadelphia Campus is? Make sure you know how long it will take to get there
- Locations, dates and times can change. Check the exam timetable regularly
- Make sure you don’t have any exam clashes, and if you do report these on the exam clash form
- If you use a calculator, have it checked and labelled before the exams at SSiD in the Students’ Union. Check the battery yourself
- If you are an international student, take your dictionary to SSiD and get a letter of authorisation to use it. You must take this with you to ALL your exams
- Dyslexic, Dyspraxic, Asperger's or impaired hearing? Contact the University Disability and Dyslexia Support Service for more information
- Remember to set your alarm clock if you have a morning exam
- Check your pens have enough ink in them. These should be in a CLEAR pencil case
- Check that there are no notes written on anything you are taking into the exam. Dictionaries and calculators will be checked by the invigilators, and disciplinary action is normally taken against anyone found with unauthorised notes
On the day
- Have something to eat and drink before your exam
- Take pens, pencils, calculator, dictionary, water and tissues with you
- Go to the loo before your exam
- Leave your phone at home, or switched off in your bag
- Allow plenty of time to get to venues. You will NOT be allowed into the exam venue if you arrive later than 30 minutes after the start of the exam, for any reason. If you are delayed, phone the Exams Office on 0114 222 1298
- If you are ill on the day notify your department and fill in a special circumstances form
- Take your U-card to ALL exams. If you have lost yours, go to SSiD for a replacement
Check you have all your belongings with you at the end of your exam. Any property left behind may be collected from the Exams Office at Registry, Level 6, University House, next to the Students’ Union.
