Extra time and support for exams

If you have a disability or difficulty you may be entitled to adjustments in exams and assessments.

Your adjustments

If you need support in exams, the University can provide adjustments such as extra time, a quiet room, or the use of a computer.

To set these up, you’ll meet with Student Wellbeing to discuss your needs. Once everything is agreed, we’ll create a Study Needs Agreement (SNA) for you.

ℹ️Adjustments must be confirmed around 4 weeks before exams begin, so make sure you contact us early.

Setting up a Study Needs Agreement

 You’ll need to contact Student Wellbeing to talk about the support you need.

During your appointment, you’ll be asked about:

  • Any support you’ve had before
  • What you need now
  • How you access your studies and learning

From this conversation — and any evidence you provide — your adviser will create your Study Needs Agreement (SNA). You can choose what information is shared with staff and what adjustments you want in place.

ℹ️You can find more details about Study Needs Agreements (SNAs) on our website.
