FAQs: Disruption During Online Exams

How will you mitigate for students who can't find a quiet place to take their exam / are disrupted during the exam?

This is something much harder for some of you than others, and the University acknowledges this.

Please contact the exams team if you foresee any specific barriers, so that they can do their best to support everyone's individual circumstances. Please do be aware that they're receiving lots of emails right now, and without knowing the details of your exam there's very limited help they'll be able to give. As such, I'd suggest it's best to wait until the details of your exam are released before contacting them. If the concern is around technology, please see my other related FAQ.

If you are a student parent or carer, you may also wish to get in touch with SPACE.

You can apply for mitigating circumstances for either consideration (should you require a 3rd attempt) or to defer to the re-sit period.
