Scheduling exams

[Print-friendly version]

Central examinations are administered by the Student Business Services Department and are held at the end of each semester and summer program. You'll find the dates for this year's central examination periods on the
academic calendar.

Internal students must be available to undertake examinations at the relevant QUT campus throughout periods designated for centrally organised exams and at times specified in the unit outlines for school-based exams. External students will sit exams at the same time as internal students; however, they undertake them at external examination centres.

Exams may be held between 8.00am and 9.00pm on weekdays, and 8.00am and 6.00pm on Saturdays. Exam sessions commence at 8.30am, 1.30pm and 5.30pm .

Preliminary exam timetables are released five weeks before examinations begin. Staff and students may propose changes to the timetable during the week following the release of the preliminary timetable. The final examination timetable is released four weeks prior to the start of examinations. Timetables are no longer displayed on noticeboards. For timetable information, students should access their personal profile on QUT Virtual.

Individual timetables that do not comply with QUT's timetabling guidelines may be eligible for alternative arrangements. Students should contact Student Business Services.
