View my exam timetable

Your timetable will include your:

  • Exam date
  • Start and end time
  • Duration of reading time (if applicable)
  • Exam format
  • Digital exam type (if applicable)
  • Exam venue
  • Seat number
  • Alternative Exam Arrangements (if applicable)

If you are enrolled in any on-campus subjects, you must be in Melbourne for the entire exams period. You must sit your exams in the format they are offered.

Digital exam types

For all on campus digital exams, you will sit either an LMS Classic Quiz or an LMS Cadmus exam. Your exam type will be listed on your my.unimelb timetable, under your exam format.   Depending on your exam type, you will have to download certain software.  You can view more information here.

Departmental (faculty managed) exams

Some exams will be coordinated by your faculty and will not appear on your exam timetable. If you have any faculty-managed exams, you will be notified  by your Subject Coordinator.

Check if your subject has further assessment tasks such as take-home, practical, oral or performance exams, via your LMS subject site or ask your Subject Coordinator.

If you were expecting to see an exam in your timetable but it isn’t there, please refer to your LMS subject site or ask your Subject Coordinator.

Clash exams

If you have a clash between two centrally managed exams, arrangements will be made for you to sit these exams on the same day, with one exam following the other (and a break in between). You will sit these clash exams at a separate venue to the rest of your cohort.

You can view your clash exam details on your exam timetable.

In between clash exams:

  • You will not be permitted to leave the clash exam venue or access your phone, laptop or any other electronic devices
  • You can bring hard copy study material to revise for your exams, but no electronic
  • You will be sitting in the exam clash venue for some time, so please bring snacks and a drink bottle

FAQs

  • If your central exam clashes with a faculty-managed exam, test or intensive, you should contact your Subject Coordinator and/or department so that they can make alternative arrangements for you. You are expected to complete all of your centrally managed exams at their scheduled time.

  • Students can sit no more than two exams in one day. If a Faculty-managed exam is one of your three exams in one day, contact your Subject Coordinator and/or department so that they can make alternative arrangements for that exam. You are expected to complete all of your centrally managed exams at their scheduled time.
