Alternative Exam Arrangements

Alternative Exam Arrangements (AEAs) are reasonable adjustments made to an examination where the standard exam arrangements put you at a substantial disadvantage because of a physical or mental impairment, specific learning difficulty or health condition. This page is a resource for students who are either in discussion with Wellbeing Support Services regarding additional support, or are considering making an appointment with regards to ongoing issues/concerns.

The below dates are deadlines for requesting consideration of AEAs for all students (with the exception of MBChB students) at the University, regardless of examination type (i.e., online or in-person).
