Students with PLSPs (Personal Learning Support Plans) must book examination adjustments prior to EVERY end of semester in person on campus exam as soon as the timetables are published. This is to ensure that reasonable adjustments match the assessment method for each of your exams. Please only request adjustments for the current semester.

To book your exam adjustments, please log in to the and choose ‘exam adjustments’.

You will be asked to choose which of the adjustments from your PLSP you require for each of the exams.

Please do this as soon as possible, the deadline for booking exam adjustments is Sunday 15 December 2024 and requests made after this deadline cannot be guaranteed.

Once you have made the request, you will be notified to look back at the Request Centre for the time and location of your exam(s).

If you wish to discuss your arrangements with a member of staff from the Examinations Office, please email examinations@bangor.ac.uk

IMPORTANT:

• Please book in your arrangements as soon as possible. If you miss the deadline (Sunday 15 December 2024), we cannot guarantee that we can put in place your adjustments.
• Students in Health Sciences: please contact your School for exam adjustments.

This format of exam has been designed to be inclusive, and so many individual adjustments (e.g. extra time, use of computer, exam support room etc.), are not necessary. If you usually have extra time and / or rest breaks, please take these during the ‘open’ period as required.

If you feel that the new format of these assessments is not accessible to you, please contact Disability Services to discuss this as soon as possible.

Good practice for this format of assessment:

• Prepare as you would for a standard exam.
• If you have IT / connectivity issues, please contact the IT Services Helpdesk; they can help resolve issues remotely (email from your Uni email address if possible, and include a contact telephone number).
• If IT issues cannot be resolved, you will be able to request a First Sit or Alternative Arrangements – see below.
• Decide what time you will stop for the day to ensure that you get adequate rest.
• Don’t leave it until the last minute to submit the work, in case of technical / connectivity difficulties on the day. Consider submitting in the evening (even though the deadline will be 8.59am), as this could allow better rest overnight.

This could be for a range of reasons, including internet connectivity / technical issues, illness, and self-isolation. If you are unable to complete the exam at the time it is scheduled, please use the to ask for a First Sit or Alternative Arrangements. If you are unable to access the Request Centre, call 01248 388400 during weekdays 10-12 and 2-4 so that staff can help you.

Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ students with a Specific Learning Difference (SpLD), who are registered with Disability Services and have a Personal Learning Support Plan in place, are offered the reasonable adjustment of a yellow slip.

In Person On Campus Exams

Students who are completing in person on campus examinations will complete an answer book as normal. A paper yellow slip (that will need to be collected from Main Reception, Ground Floor, Neuadd Rathbone, College Road) will need to be inserted into the booklet.

For those undertaking assessment on a computer, you will need to follow the same procedure as the Online Exams section above – and copy and paste your yellow slip at the front of your examination.
