The extended 23-hour window to complete an exam allows those who would usually have special timing arrangements to take any extra time or rest breaks they need. We will make every effort to timetable exams so that you will not have more than one take-home online exam in a day.
You will also be able to use your assistive technology at home. If you normally have the aid of a scribe, reader, or oral language modifier (OLM), your family or members of your household can perform this role for you. Please contact the Disability Advisory Service for further advice.
If you have other needs that cannot be met, please contact your Support Centre, HBS School Office or ISLI (International Study and Language Institute) Helpdesk in the first instance.
If you are diagnosed with a condition that might lead to reasonable adjustments in your exam arrangements during the exam period, fall ill or have an accident that affects your ability to complete your online exams, please contact us using your University email address, at take-home-exam@reading.ac.uk for advice.
If you are unable to take your exams for reasons outside of your control, you can use the Extenuating Circumstances process to let us know.
What should I do if I normally have a coloured sticker to attach to my coursework?
I require access to specialist equipment/software to sit my exams. Please can I be granted access to University IT equipment?
Will extra time be given for students who need it? How does it work if I take medication, or need rest breaks during my exams?
