Alternative exam arrangements
The Faculty knows that things do not always go according to plan around exam time. For this reason, we are able to make Alternative Examination Arrangements (AEA's) for students that have been unfairly disadvantaged by a physical or mental health condition. We are able to organise AEAs to change the environment in which you sit your exam or the way you complete your exam. Possible arrangements include:
- additional reading or writing time
- rest breaks
- completing examinations on a computer
- organising a scribe to write for you
- sitting your exam in a different venue
Students who have a short term physical illness (i.e. broken arm, chickenpox) should speak with the Faculty of Economics and Commerce Disability Contact Officer. This can be done in person by visiting the Commerce Student Centre or by phone on: +61 3 8344 5474. Please contact us as soon as you are aware there is a problem. The sooner we know of your special needs, the easier it will be to make suitable arrangements for you.
Students who have an ongoing physical or mental health condition are strongly recommended to register with the Disability Liaison Unit (DLU) so that they can automatically make these arrangements for you. Students should see the DLU at least a month before the release of the examination timetable. This can be done in person by visiting the Disability Liaison Unit located on Masson Road, or by phone on: +61 3 8344 7068.
