Special arrangements

You’re required to sit your assessments at the time and location scheduled in Allocate+, but in some circumstances you can apply for special arrangements to adjust your assessment start time or location.

You may be eligible to defer your final assessment if you can’t attend it due to exceptional circumstances beyond your control.

If you’re registered with Disability Support Services, you should discuss alternative assessment arrangements with your Disability Adviser.

Eligibility

You can apply to adjust your assessment start time or location if:

  • you don’t have an appropriate home environment to sit your off-campus eExam
  • you’re in an unsuitable time zone to sit your off-campus eExam
  • you’re unable to sit your assessment because you're participating in a Monash-facilitated program overseas at the time of your assessment
  • you’re registered with Monash’s Elite Student Performer Support Program and you’re unable to attend your final assessment due to mandatory performance requirements
  • you need to start your final assessment earlier or later due to religious obligations (such as daily prayers, Friday Jummah prayers or incoming Sabbath time).

When you're not eligible

You’re not eligible for special arrangements if you're travelling or on holidays, so don’t plan any trips during your assessment period.

You’re not eligible for special arrangements if you have an illness (including COVID-19). However, you may be eligible to defer your assessment through special consideration (you’ll need to provide the required supporting documents).
