Visiting US and Canadian students taking Semester 1 or Fall examinations only :

For Fall semester only students assessment will be completed by the end of the teaching semester. A module grade may be based on continuous assessment only, in which case all assignments must be handed in before the end of the semester or at the date designated by the course lecturer. Where a module is partly or wholly based on an examination, the examination will take place before the end of the semester, most likely in the final week of the teaching semester. Individual departments are responsible for administering these examinations.

Departments may decide to replace an examination by an alternative but equivalent assignment due no later than the last day of the semester.

Fall semester only students may not do the January examinations and must be available to do the examinationa and assignment at the times designated by their academic departments. This policy is not flexible. Please do not book your flight home before the end of term.
