Who should I notify?
If your religious observance or beliefs prevent you from taking an exam during an examination period, you must inform the Assistant Registrar (Exams and Awards).
This allows the University to consider your circumstances when arranging examinations.
When do I need to notify the University?
You must notify the University by the relevant deadline.

What evidence do I need to provide?
You must provide written supporting evidence from an appropriate religious representative, such as:
- Imam
- Rabbi
- Vicar
- Priest
Your request will only be considered once supporting evidence has been received.
If you have previously informed the Exams and Awards Office and have already provided supporting evidence, you do not need to submit it again.
