The University has two main exam periods every academic year, one in January and one in May. There are also two main re-assessment periods, in March and July, when resits from the previous main exam period may be taken.
In order to be able to guarantee that exam adjustments can be accommodated, the Exams Team need several weeks notice of the adjustment.
All exam adjustments must be on a published Reasonable Adjustment Plan (RAP) by the deadlines below to be guaranteed.
Any exam adjustment published after the deadline will not be provided until the following exam period.
It is the responsibility of each student to check that their RAP is correct and up to date before each deadline.
| EXAM PERIOD – 12-16 January 2026 |
| DEADLINE – Monday 01 December 2025 (4pm) |

Please note: Some academic departments manage exams which do not fall within the published exam and re-assessment periods. In these cases, all exam adjustments have to be agreed upon 4 teaching weeks before the assessment. Any adjustments agreed after the deadline will be at the discretion of the lecturer responsible for managing the assessment.
