Examinations and Graduation
Examinations
Dates for Summer Course examinations will be published later for each Summer Course unit. Room locations will be advised in classes and also on the website. You are strongly advised to check the class timetable for your unit/s in the Summer Course Schedule in case there are last-minute changes to times or locations.
Special Consideration for Examinations

All requests for special consideration must be lodged with the Student Enquiry Service (SES) on Level 1 of the Lincoln Building.
The 2009 Request for Special Consideration form will be available on the web from early January 2009.
Requests for special consideration in Summer Course Program units must be lodged within two (2) working days after the date of the examination for the unit, or the date of the submission of the final assignment/take-home examination.
