You may require special arrangements for one or more of your examinations if:

• two of your examinations are timetabled for the same session, or
• you have three examinations scheduled on a single day.

Please Note: Special Arrangements required due to a timetable clash are subject to the same conditions as for other Special Arrangement Examinations.

The following procedure applies only to examinations listed in the official end-of-semester examination timetables:

1. Complete a Request for special arrangements for exams form (PDF) or (Word) and submit it to a Student Centre or email to:
   • examinations@uq.edu.au (St Lucia and Ipswich campuses) or
   • exams@uqg.uq.edu.au (Gatton campus)
      
2. You will be sent an arrangement form advising the revised details of your examinations. This form acts as an official agreement between the student and the University.
3. The University’s General Award Rules (GAR 1A) require that students must apply at least 14 calendar days before the commencement of the relevant end-of-semester examination period and at least 14 calendar days prior to the exam date for mid-semester exams, for special arrangements to be made.  (You will find a link to the General Award Rules on the University Rules page. Once you have accessed the General Award Rules page, scroll down to Part 1A - Assessment.)  
4. If you are unable to attend an examination, telephone the relevant Examinations Section not less than 2 hours prior to the arranged starting time of the examination:
   • St Lucia campus and UQ Ipswich Telephone: (07) 3365 2488
   • UQ Gatton Examinations Telephone: (07) 5460 1126

Please note: Special arrangements will not be made if application forms are not received within the required timeframe.
