N.B. Students are not entitled to sit an examination at another time, and are not entitled to any other concession. If a scheduled examination conflicts with a planned vacation or special personal event (eg. travel, weddings, etc.) students may wish to consult with their School or Faculty.

AEA exams will usually be sat on the same day and at the same time as scheduled in the timetable. Students must retain a copy of their approved application form, as written confirmation may not be provided. Venue arrangements will be advised when the AEA application form is lodged. More detailed information about the University's services for students with a disability or medical condition can be found on the Disability Service webpage.
