Exam Timetable FAQ

When are my exams?

Please consult the Academic Calendar for examination start and end dates.

The Academic Calendar provides the schedule for formal University examinations.
For any other assessments e.g. practicals or Multiple Choice Question exams arranged by your School or College, you will be advised directly by your lecturers or by your School/College office.

When will my exam timetable be available?

The examination timetable release date is available on the Examinations Office website.
The examination timetable should not be used for planning flights as the timetable may change.

How do I access my personal exam timetable?

Access your personal exam timetable online by selecting the appropriate exam session e.g. Semester 1.

Why is my Personal Timetable missing an Exam?

Your personal exam timetable is a reflection of your registration status. If you registered late or if there was a late change to your registration for certain modules, then they will not appear on your personal exam timetable. You must register for any exams not listed on your personal exam timetable by contacting the Student Information Desk (Tel. 091-495999 email sidnuigalway.ie). You will then sit your exam in the Late Entries Room. The Student Registry Helpdesk will give you a form with the relevant details.

Why does my Personal Timetable have me scheduled for an exam that I am not studying?

You must check your registration by contacting the Student Registry Helpdesk (Tel. 091-495999 email sidnuigalway.ie). Once your registration has been corrected, you can ignore this exam on your personal timetable.

Why is no Personal Timetable visible for me?

Ensure your registration is correct by contacting the Student Information Desk (Tel. 091-495999 email sidnuigalway.ie ). Once your registration is correct, you will sit all your exams in the Late Entries Room.

I cannot access my Personal Timetable

Have you set up your Campus Account? Visit Campus Account Self Service to set up your Campus Account or to retrieve your password. For support on student access to computing services, contact the ISS Service Desk (Tel. 091-495777, servicedesk@nuigalway.ie).

Can I find out my exam dates in advance of the release of the timetable?

No. It is not possible, under any circumstances, to provide details of the examination dates for specific modules or personal timetables to students in advance of the release of the timetable.

Can I change the date of an exam?

The Examinations Office cannot consider a change to the exam timetable based on a student request.

Please consult your lecturer(s) for their advice.

If other students in your class have similar concerns to you, it is recommended that you discuss with your class rep first and then consult your lecturer(s) for advice.

Can an exam be re-arranged because e.g. I have flights booked?

Students are expected to be available for exams for the entire duration of the exam session and the Examinations Office does not make alternative exam arrangements for individuals.

If you are unable to attend a scheduled exam, please contact your College Office as soon as possible for advice.

How can I get help as my exams are too close together?

If you have concerns about your exam timetable and possible impact on your exam performance, it is recommended that you raise them with your class rep, in the first instance, and if necessary, your lecturer or course co-ordinator.

The Examinations Office does not make alternative exam arrangements for individuals.

If you’d like help, especially coming up to exams, please know that support is also available to you by contacting your College or School Office, student counsellors and chaplains.

How do I get to my exam venue?

Exam venue information is available on the Examinations Office website at http://www.nuigalway.ie/exams/timetable-advice/venues/
