Student Policies and Regulations

Exam Policy

The Exam Policy covers how, where and when you will submit your exam, what happens if you have problems submitting your exam and what happens if you submit it late or not at all. It also outlines the additional support available to students with disabilities or additional requirements.

Guidance on sitting an exam that was previously part of the Remote Exams Handbook can now be found on the Exams pages of the Help Centre.

If you require this Exam Policy document in an alternative format, please contact your Student Support Team via http://www.open.ac.uk/contact (phone +44 (0)300 303 5303) if you are a current Open University student.
