Support for your exams

Students Requiring Provision

In order to receive provision for your exams, you must first make contact with the Disability Office or Wellbeing Services. Please do not assume that because you had provision in School or your previous education provider that you will have them at Swansea University.

You must have been assessed by the Disability Office/Wellbeing Services and confirmed your provision with the Exams Office by the relevant deadline date, otherwise you will not receive any provision for your in-person exams that session.

For students receiving provisions for their exams, you must make arrangments with the Exams Office before midday on the following dates:

Session	Date
January 2023	Thursday 1st December 2022
May/June 2023	Tuesday 4th April 2023
August Supplementary	Tuesday 25th July 2023

Start and End Times, and how your Exams work

Your examination timetable will be issued by your Faculty. It is your responsibility to check it for any omissions/errors.

For in-person exams, we ask that you arrive at the venue in good time to start your exam. Please note, any extra time/rest breaks will not be reflected in the exam duration shown on your timetable but the invigilators will be aware of your entitlements.

When your provision has been agreed, you must attend the smaller provisions venue as there will no longer be a seat available for you in the main venue.

Temporary Provision

If you have a temporary illness/injury e.g broken limb, which is supported by current medical evidence you may be entitled to receive short-term temporary provision to support you taking your examination, which may include extra time, rest breaks or a smaller room.

Temporary provision requests must be made as soon as possible. It is important that you first discuss your circumstances with your Faculty so they can consider the impact on your academic work and advise you accordingly.

For in-person exams, in order to receive temporary provision, you will be asked to make contact with the MyUniHub. A Student Information Officer will ask for relevant, current medical evidence to support your request. The Student Information Officer will then pass their recommendations onto the Exams Office, who will contact you directly to confirm your temporary provision and exam venue.

Please note that you are only able to receive temporary provision for the same condition once – if a condition becomes permanent, you will need to consult the Disability Office or Wellbeing Service to discuss ongoing exam provisions.
