Alternative arrangements (Equity Examinations)
Curtin University recognises that some students require alternative arrangements for their examinations. This may be due to a disability, a medical condition or a religious reason.
Students requiring alternative exam arrangements due to a medical condition or disability should seek advice and assistance from Curtin’s Disability Services. You will need to provide medical documentation to support your request at the initial appointment. Disability Services will then assist you to make arrangements for in-class and end of semester exams.
The deadline for alternative examination applications is three weeks prior to the commencement of the examination period, so ensure that a meeting with the Disability Advisor is made as early as possible in the semester.
Students whose religious convictions prevent them from sitting an examination at the scheduled time may apply for an alternative examination based on religious reasons. To apply for an alternative examination, please contact Curtin’s Multi-Faith Officer to arrange an appointment. The Multi-Faith Officer will assist you in the application process. At the meeting, you will need to provide appropriate documentation from your church or religious group and provide advice of unit enrolments. For more information, visit the Religious equity arrangements webpage.
The deadline for alternative examination applications is three weeks prior to the commencement of the examination period, so ensure that a meeting with the Multi-Faith Officer is made as early as possible after the final examination timetable is released.
If you are experiencing issues related to social inclusion that prohibit you from sitting your exams at the scheduled time, such as pregnancy or extenuating commitments as a primary carer, you should contact a Student Wellbeing Advisor. They will be able to determine what alternative arrangement is required or assist with your assessment extension application.
The deadline for alternative examination applications is three weeks prior to the commencement of the examination period, so ensure that communication is made as early as possible after the final examination timetable is released.
