We allow students to enter the examination during the first 30
minutes. Any student arriving after that time is referred to the
Registry. In exceptional circumstances, we might try to arrange
for the student to take the examination at that time in an alternative
room (as long as invigilation etc can be organised).
If the student has a good reason for being late, and can provide
evidence, they would be eligible to apply for deferred assessment
(taken during the August resit period).
Hope this helps.
