Exam dates

Read through your unit of study outlines carefully at the start of semester to make sure you're aware of when you need to be ready for your exams.

If required for your unit, in-semester tests, in-class assessments and quizzes will be arranged by your unit of study coordinator outside the end-of-semester exam period.

It's recommended that you don't make any extracurricular commitments or travel plans throughout the end-of-semester main and replacement exam periods. Exams will be scheduled to start at 9am, 1pm, or 5pm and you won’t necessarily have an exam at the same time or day as when you usually have class for that unit.
