Examination Start Times

 1.     You are required to be at the examination hall 20 minutes prior to the start of the 

examination, i.e. at 09:10 for a 09:30 examination and at 14:10 for a 14:30 examination.

2.     The examination hall will open at 09:15 and 14:15 and all students must be seated

five minutes before the start of the examination, by 09:25 and 14:25.

3.     In the past there has been a serious problem with examinations starting late as

students only enter the exam hall at the last minute prior to the start of the examination. In

a large hall where 200-300 students may be taking the examination this can cause

serious delays in starting the examination.

4.     Once you enter the exam hall exam conditions apply, please read the University

Regulations governing the conduct of examinations, located under

Procedures and Regulations.

5.     You are not allowed to commence writing on answer books until the Chief

Invigilator instructs you to commence the examination. Writing on exam scripts prior to

the start of the examination will be treated as a breach of exam regulations and will be

reported to the Examinations Security Group.
