How do I inform the University if I am not able to sit exams or other learning activities such as lectures, field trips and assessment deadlines on some dates during the exam period due to my religious beliefs?
Students who are not able to sit exams due to religious beliefs can request for exams not to be scheduled on these days by filling in the application form. The deadline for submitting the form and other details about exam arrangements are listed there.
Additionally, you can find further information about how the University works to accommodate students' religious observance in the Codes of Practice relevant to the specific academic year you were admitted to your current programme; once you have chosen the appropriate year, look in the "Student Support & Student Related (incl. Immigration)" section for the relevant codes of practice.
Please note that due to scheduling constraints and resources it is not always possible to avoid scheduling exams on these dates.
Important notice regarding submitting Religious Observance Form
You will only need to complete this form once during your degree programme. Once approved, the information will stay on your records, and you will not need to submit the form again. Please note that there are specific deadlines for this form to be submitted and failure to submit your request in time may lead to exams being scheduled at a time that does not meet your religious observance request.
