Procedure for use of separate accommodation in an examination.
Registry organises separate rooms and sends out a list to departments of students who need exam arrangements before each exam diet. Registry delivers the papers to the separate exam rooms to be received by the invigilator.
Calendar regulations 24.10 state the necessity for a separate invigilator “ An arrangement to provide separate accommodation to sit an examination may be required to meet the needs of a range of students with a disability, but is most usually required when the use of a scribe or a reader is recommended. The presence of a separate Invigilator is always required in these circumstances.”

The guidelines for the use of computers by students in examinations are under review. Revised guidelines will be available in due course.
