Alternative examination arrangements are intended to reduce the impact of a long-term or temporary disability or health condition for students sitting formal examinations.
We recommend that students with long-term needs for alternative examination arrangements make an appointment to have their requirements arranged through Disability Services, Student Centre. The Disability Adviser can also assist with other aspects of a student's disability related learning requirements. Information is available at Disability Services.
Students with temporary requirements which do not have an impact on other aspects of their study may use this form to apply for alternative arrangements for their examinations.
Online Application for Academic Transcript or Letter of Completion of Studies (Authentication Required).
Students may obtain official copies of their academic transcript by completing an Application for Academic Transcript or Letter of Completion of Studies form. The charge is $10 for a single transcript or $25 for three copies.
Some students require an official letter of completion of studies for visa, employment or other purposes. Students may obtain a Letter of Completion of Studies by completing an Application for Academic transcript or Letter of Completion of Studies form. The charge is $20 for three copies of the letter of Completion of Studies.

Students who have completed their examinations and who feel that they have been disadvantaged due to illness or other circumstances affecting their study, may use this form to request that their lecturer takes this into consideration when marking the examination. Forms should be submitted directly to the relevant school, accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation, as soon as possible after the completion of the examination. Granting of special consideration is at the discretion of the lecturer and school.
If you are ill on the day of an examination or have other serious circumstances which prevent you from sitting an examination, you may apply for a deferred examination. If you are ill, you should see a doctor on the day of the examination and the doctor must return the form to the Exams Office within 3 working days of the examination.
Please note that having a medical certificate does not guarantee that a deferred examination will be approved. Further guidelines are contained on the last page of the form.
Australian citizens and permanent residents who have been resident in Australia for fewer than 10 years may apply for alternative arrangements to assist them with their examinations. These arrangements are usually only available for the first year of study.
International students are not eligible to apply for these arrangements but may apply to take a bilingual dictionary into their examinations: see Student Centre for details.
Outlines the rules under which your exams are conducted. You must read this before you sit any exams.
Description and explanation of result codes.
On campus students are required by University Rule 2 to sit all examinations at the study centre at which they are enrolled. There are two exceptions to this rule:
The above students may use this form to apply to move their examinations to another study centre.
Students who have been timetabled to sit an examination at 5pm may request to sit that examination at 3pm on the same day. Students will be required to remain in the examination venue until 5.15pm, in order to maintain the security of the examination paper, and will not be allowed to leave early.
NB students in Transnational study centres - ACK, KDU, SOU and ZUT require a different form. Please email studentenquiry.tne@utas.edu.au to receive the correct form for your centre.
If you are not satisfied with your result:
Requests for reviews are sent to the Head of School, who will organise for another marker (if practicable) to re-mark the examination and check that all results have been included in the final mark. If you are requesting a review of an assignment, please include a copy of the assignment with the application.
Schools are asked to finalise a review of assessment within four weeks, however this may take longer depending upon the remarking of the assessment. If you have requested a review for a unit for which you have been granted a supplementary grade, please be aware that it is highly unlikely that you will receive the outcome of the review before the date of your supplementary examination.
