Exams outside the Main Exam Period听

Make sure you鈥檙e available for exams outside the Main Exam Period in Term 3.

Most 果冻影院 exams are centrally organised and take place during the Main Examination Period but you may also have exams during the Late Summer Assessment Period or exams that are arranged by departments which could take place at any time during the academic year. Late Summer Assessment (LSA) takes place in late August and early September. Wait for your exam results from the Main Exam Period before you book late summer travels, in case you need to be available for LSA.听
