If you choose to go home for the exam period, you must make sure that you have suitable working conditions in which to complete your exam – including a stable internet connection and appropriate access to the necessary resources – from your location.
- Online exam durations have reverted back to being short format, so there will be no 24 hour exams in the May main exam diet 2022.

- Changes can occur to the timetable therefore please ensure that you recheck your exam details immediately prior to your examination(s).
End of teaching period
The University is aware that many students will choose to leave Edinburgh after the teaching period ends in Semester 2.
It is your individual responsibility to decide whether or not you are able to leave Edinburgh:
- Students in University-managed accommodation will not be able to get lease breaks this year due to exams being online. This means that they will not be refunded for their accommodation if they leave Edinburgh early.
- Students in private accommodation should check with their providers.
- Sponsored PGT students should check with Student Immigration Service (SIS) any impact on their visa before booking travel.

Extenuating Circumstances
Students who believe that religious reasons or participation in elite-level sport prevent them from sitting an examination at the scheduled time should contact their Personal Tutor and Student Support Team. Their case is considered by the relevant Dean and Student Administration in consultation with the Convener of the Board of Examiners. Further information regarding flexibility which may be offered to students taking part in elite-level sport is provided in the Performance Sport Policy:
Please note:
- As examinations may be scheduled at any time during the semester, it is a student's responsibility to be available throughout the semester, including the whole of the examination diet. Occasionally assessments may need to be rescheduled with very little notice. If special circumstances mean that a student is unavailable for the rescheduled assessment, Boards of Examiners may consider using an alternative method to assess the relevant learning outcomes (Assessment Regulation 17.3).
- Other than online assessment, students are not allowed to sit examinations away from Edinburgh (Assessment Regulation 25.5)
- Factors which may adversely affect your performance in an examination or in assessed coursework over the year, such as personal illness or the illness of a close relative or partner, must be drawn to the attention of the examiners in writing by you as soon as possible and, in any event, before the meeting of the Board of Examiners. This is usually done via your Personal Tutor or Postgraduate Programme Director.
