This will provide your examination dates, times, duration, location and seat number (if you are sitting the examination on campus).
You may also have examinations during the examination period that have been scheduled by your School. If this is the case, they will be in touch with details regarding your examinations and when and where they will take place.
In the meantime, if you have any urgent queries about School/department scheduled exams please contact your School Education Support Office directly. You can find your School ESO contact details in the following link.
