Exam and assessment support
We can recommend a variety of exam and assessment support. This might be additional time to complete an exam, an extension to your coursework deadline, the use of assistive technology or support from a reader or scribe.
To receive exam or assessment support, you’ll need to tell us about your disability and meet with a Disability Adviser to create your Personal Learning Plan (PLP). You’ll be offered exam support if your PLP states that this is needed to minimise disability-related disadvantage.
Students with disabilities, who have timed examinations/assessments on their course are strongly advised to meet a Disability Adviser and have a PLP in place well in advance of their exams, so that appropriate adjustments can be put in place. Please make sure to contact us as early as possible to arrange your support.
Find out what to do if you have a PLP but can’t hand your coursework in on time.
Scope and standards of examination recommendations
Whilst every effort will be made to make recommended reasonable adjustments to the assessment conditions of a disabled student, the extent to which this can be done in main assessment periods may be restricted by the availability of suitable rooms and/or other physical and human resources. It may therefore be necessary in some cases to reschedule assessments for such students.
