Because of the flexibility of courses of study at Otago, examination timetabling cannot begin until after the last day to delete papers for that teaching period. Therefore, the anticipated dates for the release of examination timetable dates and times (published below) are:
- Summer School: late January
- Semester one: mid–late April
- Semester two: mid–late August
Once the examination timetable has been finalised, each student’s examination information will be displayed in the Timetable section of their eVision portal.
As per the University of Otago Examination and Assessment Regulations, candidates are expected to sit their final examinations as scheduled. The main examination centre is Dunedin. In the case of Extramural or Distance Learning candidates, the examination centre is a University-nominated examination venue near their normal study location.
