Central examinationsare administered by the Examinations Section and are held during the designated University exam periods.

Students are expected to be available to undertake their examinations at the scheduled time and at the campus where they normally attend classes. Please see the UQ Assessment  Policy, linked to below, for further information.

School examinations are generally held during regular scheduled class time and are administered by the school to which the individual course belongs. Some schools may have permission from the Academic Board to hold certain examinations out of class times, sometimes at weekends.

Policies have been formulated to ensure equity in the examination system. If you are unsure about the University's or your own obligations regarding examinations, consult the UQ Assessment Policy (section 4.8) which details the principles and practices governing central examination conduct. UQ Assessment rules are in part 1A of the General Award Rules. You will find a link to the General Award Rules on the University Rules page.

Faculties and schools may have their own guidelines regarding school exams.

Student ID card
You must present your current student ID card when attending examinations. Failure to present your student ID card at an examination is a breach of University of Queensland General Award Rule 1A. If you do not have your ID card you will be required to complete a Declaration of Breach of General Award Rule 1A. and present your current student ID card at a Student Centre within 14 days after the examination. If you fail to produce your student ID card the result for the examination must be recorded as though no examination was attempted.

Externally enrolled students are advised to obtain a student ID card, however, an official form of photographic identification (e.g. driver’s license or passport) will be acceptable for external students when attending examinations.

The General Award Rules outline student responsibilities in detail and are accessed via the University Rules page.
