Exams Information

To the despair of many students, cheating is not permitted in Macquarie University exams. Mobile phones are not permitted to be carried into the exam room – nor are any bags, which must be stored in the ‘Bag Room’ specified on the door of the exam room. Candidates must sit in their designated seats only.

Students are required to sit their examinations at the time and date specified in the exam timetable, there are no re-sits, early, or late examinations. No excuses are accepted outside of illness, compassionate cause, or genuine misadventure. The academic staff are no longer able to accommodate students to take exams earlier or later than the specified date.

The long and short of it? DON'T MISS YOUR EXAM!

Do not make any travelling plans for any time before the last day of the exam period, unless the Final Exam Timetable has been released.

The Draft Exam Timetable is generally available in about week 6 of the semester. The draft timetable is not final and frequently varies significantly from the Final Exam Timetable. If two of your exams are scheduled at the same time, you need to inform the Student Enquiry Service.

The Final Exam Timetable is usually available in week 9 or 10 (the first week after mid-semester), no changes are made to the exam schedule after this point.

Both timetables are available online from http://www.student.mq.edu.au/, or a paper copy is posted outside the Student Enquiry Service in the courtyard of the university.
