Off-campus assessments

Assessments under controlled conditions, including examinations, may take place on a University campus or at a venue determined by the University for the whole cohort of students taking that assessment, including at the University's partner institutions.

It is your responsibility to attend examinations and assessments under controlled conditions. No student shall have the right to take any assessment off campus and permission to do so is at the discretion of the University.

First sit examinations should be held at UWE Bristol or an approved academic partner.

The application deadline to request to sit an exam overseas is four weeks before the exam date.

There will be local administration costs charged by the British Council that you will need to organise payment for. Find out about sitting an exam overseas.

Permission to take an examination off campus may only be granted if it can be arranged at a British Council Office.

The only exceptions to this are:

• where the assessment is for students participating in an academic exchange, and it can be arranged at one of the other institutions participating in the exchange, or
• where you are involved in national or international elite/high-performance sporting/or other activities at that level, or a unique career-enhancing opportunity approved by the University and
• where the assessment may be invigilated by responsible individuals approved by the University (for example staff from their national governing body of sport).
