(Adelaide Examinations conducted for External Institutions)

The University of Adelaide is pleased to offer assistance in the conduct of examinations in Adelaide on behalf of other Universities and institutions. The Examinations Office may be able to provide suitable venues and supervisors for your external exam. Saturday exams are negotiable but usually only conducted during our official exam periods.

Exam start times will be 9:50am (morning session) and 1:50pm (afternoon session) from Monday to Friday and will generally be conducted on the North Terrace campus, in the city of Adelaide. During our official examination periods, morning exams will start at 9:20am.

In order to manage the costs of room bookings and supervisor payments, the Examinations Office has set a fee of $130.00 per session (including GST). This fee covers up to 20 students in one session. The fee is payable if the students fail to attend for their exams unless we receive 24 hours notice of cancellation. This fee will increase from January 2010 to $150.00 per session.

Where possible, the Examinations Office will abide by the instructions and rules of the home institutions.

To arrange for The University of Adelaide to host an exam, complete the External Exams form and fax it to the Examinations Office as soon as possible. The Examinations Office will acknowledge the request and advise if it is able to host the exams.

The exam materials must then be forwarded to the Exams Office at least 2 days before the scheduled date of the exam. The Examinations Office will return the materials as per your instructions on the next working day after the exam. The University of Adelaide will invoice your institution at the billing address supplied or, alternatively, receive cash payment from the student on the day of the exam.
