If you think that you may require exam support/adjustments, please note that the final deadline (for the Semester One Exam Period) for providing appropriate evidence is Friday 7 November 2025.
What is additional exam support?
Newcastle University provides support for students with a disability, long-term illness or health condition (including mental health), learning difficulty or developmental disorder. For exams, this includes (but is not restricted) to the following arrangements:
Extra exam time
Rest breaks
Use of a PC and/or assistive software
Change of exam venue/seating arrangement
Provision of specialist equipment
How to apply:
If you think you may require any of the above (or any other arrangements) for your future exams, please contact the Student Health and Wellbeing Service before Friday 7 November with your evidence.
If you are a continuing student who has already been granted alternative exam arrangements (i.e. you have a Student Support Plan in place) then you do NOT need to reapply.
Religious observance and exams
If you are unable to take an in-person or take-home exam during any of the University’s main exam periods due to a religious observance (e.g. holy days or religious festivals), then you can let us know by completing a Religious Observance Form.
For any observances during the Semester One Exam Period (6 to 20 January 2026), the deadline for submitting a form is Friday 24 October 2025.
