Off-campus students and students taking off-campus units will be notified by mail of their examination commitment. These letters are dispatched five to six weeks before the examination period. If you do not receive this letter please contact the Assessments Group in DSA on (03) 5227 3220.
If you missed your examination for reasons that were genuinely beyond your control, then you must lodge an application for special consideration, accompanied by appropriate documentary evidence, to your Faculty Campus Office no later than three days after the date of the examination. Application forms are available from each Faculty Campus Office.
Ensure that you read your timetable correctly, as misreading the timetable is not grounds for special consideration. Temporary minor illnesses such as colds, sore throat, headaches are also unlikely to be accepted as grounds for not sitting an examination.
