Exam adjustment process

Receiving your exam timetable

• The Exams Team will email you all the information about your exam timetable from examinations@ed.ac.uk.  Remember to check that this address is not marked as junk or spam.
• Emails about your exam timetable will only be sent to your university email address.  Make sure to check this regularly.
• Your exam timetable will appear in your Office 365 (link) calendar.  You should check this calendar as this is the only way you will be notified of your exam timetable.  It will show your exam information including times and location impacted by your adjustments.  It will look a bit like the example below:
• Times on your calendar will be rounded up to the nearest 5 minutes, e.g., 1 hour and 53 minutes in your timetable will be rounded up to 1 hour and 55 minutes.
• You can also check the Exam Web Timetable (link) to find the date, time and location of exams. The timetable does not reflect any adjustments you have related to your exams.
• The Exams Team regularly updates: Exams Information

Exam timetable: what you should do

• If your exam timetable does not appear in your Office 365 calendar (link) 10 days before your first expected exam, contact examinations@ed.ac.uk immediately.
• Check your timetable regularly as you may have changes to your exam timetable.
• If you are missing, or not intending to sit an exam, please discuss this with your Student Advisor as soon as you receive your exam timetable. They will inform the Examinations Team.
• If you have exam adjustments, your exams will be held in a different venue from the main exam rooms.  If you go to the main exam venue, you will not receive your exam adjustments.  Ensure you check the location on your personalised exam timetable closely. 

On the day of the exam

• Arrive in good time, you will not receive additional time if you are late.
• If you think you have not been given the correct adjustments speak to the invigilator immediately.  Then check by emailing examinations@ed.ac.uk
