Request to sit an examination at an alternative campus
 
PDF, 1 page (40 kb)
 

On campus students are required by University Rule 2 to sit all examinations at the study centre at which they are enrolled. There are two exceptions to this rule:

  • Students who can demonstrate that sitting at their enrolled study centre will cause excessive hardship (supporting documentation required)
  • Students enrolled at two or more different study centres in the same semester (cross-campus study)
The above students may use this form to apply to move their examinations to another study centre.

Alternative examination arrangements
 
PDF, 2 pages (42 kb)
 

Alternative examination arrangements are intended to reduce the impact of a long-term or temporary disability or health condition for students sitting formal examinations.

We recommend that students with long-term needs for alternative examination arrangements make an appointment to have their requirements arranged through Disability Services, Student Centre. The Disability Adviser can also assist with other aspects of a student's disability related learning requirements. Information is available at http://student.admin.utas.edu.au/services/disability/

Students with temporary requirements which do not have an impact on other aspects of their study may use this form to apply for alternative arrangements for their examinations.

Australian citizens and permanent residents who have been resident in Australia for fewer than 10 years may apply for alternative arrangements to assist them with their examinations. These arrangements are usually only available for the first year of study.


International students are not eligible to apply for these arrangements but may apply to take a bilingual dictionary into their examinations: see Student Centre for details.

Deferred Ordinary examinations

If you are ill on the day of an examination or have other serious circumstances which prevent you from sitting an examination, you may apply for a deferred examination. If you are ill, you should see a doctor on the day of the examination and the doctor must return the form to the Exams Office within 3 working days of the examination.

Please note that having a medical certificate does not guarantee that a deferred examination will be approved. Further guidelines are contained on the last page of the form.

Review of Assessment

 
PDF, 4 pages (114 kb)
 

NB students in Transnational study centres - ACK, KDU, SOU and ZUT require a different form. Please email studentenquiry.tne@utas.edu.au to receive the correct form for your centre.

If you are not satisfied with your result:

  • You may request to see your examination script. Your lecturer or another academic will normally be present to provide feedback while you look at the script. You should submit a request in writing to the school 5 working days in advance.

  • For feedback on your overall academic performance in a unit, you should contact your lecturer.

  • You may apply for a review of assessment up to 10 working days after the release of results. Students who have passed a unit must pay $50 for the review. If the mark or grade result goes up, the application fee will be refunded. Results cannot be lowered as a result of a review of assessment.

Requests for reviews are sent to the Head of School, who will organise for another marker (if practicable) to re-mark the examination and check that all results have been included in the final mark. If you are requesting a review of an assignment, please include a copy of the assignment with the application.

Schools are asked to finalise a review of assessment within four weeks, however this may take longer depending upon the remarking of the assessment. If you have requested a review for a unit for which you have been granted a supplementary grade, please be aware that it is highly unlikely that you will receive the outcome of the review before the date of your supplementary examination.
