CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

Key decisions have been taken regarding exams:

• Pre-honours undergraduate students (SCQF levels 7 and 8): you will not have exams for pre-Honours (Years 1 and 2) courses. There may be a small number of exceptions to this, where a professional or statutory regulatory body (PSRB) requires students to complete further assessment. Your School will advise you if this is the case.
• Honours undergraduate and postgraduate (taught) students (SCQF levels 9, 10 and 11): exams will be replaced either with additional coursework assessment or timed take-home (“open-book”) exams offered remotely.

Further updates will be communicated to you as more details become available.

 Invigilators  specific update

The University will not be running the Main 27^th April – 22^nd May exam diet.  All fixed date exams are also cancelled until further notice.  There will be no requirement for exam invigilation in the immediate months.  We are liaising closely with HR and further updates will be communicated to you as more details become available.

Thank you for your continued support during these unprecedented developments.  The safety of staff, students, and visitors remains a top priority.

Following the successful implementation of Exam Scheduler in July 2018, the Examinations Team has successfully delivered another examination diet.  In total 20,757 students, sat exams across 1047 courses, which equates to over 56621 sittings within a 4 week timescale. 

Data, which populates the timetable is set up by Schools in EUCLID and feeds into the software.  Student data is pulled through e.g enrolments and any additional adjustments, which is put in place in consultation with Disability Services.

Students now receive a personalised timetable, which confirms dates, times and locations of exams.  Students can obtain their timetable through various mobile devices with the assistance of Office365.
