Examination Timetable
It is important to remember that all students are required to attend examinations as scheduled in the official examination timetable. Students are advised to check the examination timetables and notify any examination clashes.
If you organise return tickets or a holiday while you are in Australia, it is important to remember not to make travel arrangements that could coincide with the University’s official examination period. Policy set by James Cook University’s Academic Board states that exams are to be sat at the scheduled time. The Board's policy does not allow for students to sit exams in advance, or to have special exams set. The specified exam period that starts on February 19th and end on March 5th is regarded as part of the Academic Year and students are expected to sit exams in those periods.
A student who is unable to sit an exam due to extenuating circumstances should apply for a deferred exam. The Head of School has the right to decline an application (whether or not the examiner is willing to set another paper) if he considers the reasons are less than exceptional. For additional information on examinations at JCU, please refer to www.jcu.edu.au/studying/exams/.
