Exams can be very stressful, so planning for your exams is very important. You should plan your time well and prepare in advance to avoid surprises.
For information on unsupervised online exams, please go to your course site in learnonline. Information is also available in the Assessment and Examinations section on the Campus Central COVID-19 FAQ page.
Check when the exam timetable will be published. This information is available on the exam timetable and release dates web page.
There are 3 ways you can view your exam timetable*:
Students enrolled externally will receive two emails. The initial email will advise that they will be allocated to an external exam centre based on their mailing address. When an exam centre has been secured the student will receive a second email confirming their personal exam timetable with their allocated exam centre.
Course timetable
This allows students to search by course to see the exam date, time and venue.
Personal timetable website
This timetable shows the student their individual timetable including the date, time and venue (this is the same information as the personal exam timetable email)
How long will it take to get to the exam venue? To assist with working out your travel plans, check out the exam locations page and what exam parking is available.
TIP: We suggest you leave home early to allow extra time for unexpected travel delays and/or if you plan to leave your bag in the secure storage area.
Did you know there are three different exam rooms at the Adelaide Showgrounds ... and sometimes the exam is split across rooms! It's a good idea to check your personal exam timetable (that was emailed to your student email address) to see which room each of your exams is located in. It could be the Ridley, Banquet or Arena exam room.
TIP: Check the map of the Adelaide Showgrounds so you are familiar with where the room is located.
Know what you can and can’t bring into the exam room. This information is outlined on the what do i need to bring to my exam webpage.
