Final assessment period (previously known as exams)

Exam venues and seating 

Due to COVID-19, the traditional exams you will be used to will not be running for the foreseeable future. Instead, you will have alternative final assessments. For more details on your final assessments, please visit your unit Canvas Shell.

Students with disabilities and carers 

If you have a disability or are caring for someone with a disability make sure you register with AccessAbility Services when you first enrol in your unit. 

You can apply for a personalised equitable assessment arrangement but you'll need to have registered with AccessAbility Services at least four weeks before your assessment. 

Your personalised assessment arrangements will then be sent to your Swinburne student email address by the Exams and Assessment Team.  

If you have not contacted AccessAbility Services at least four weeks before your assessment there may not be time to put your arrangements in place.
