The Examination Timetable for the Mid-year Examination Period was released to students on Monday 4 May 2020.
Each student should have received a personal e-mail which lists all the student’s examinations, tests and assignments that are allocated into the Mid-year Examination Period. It may not include assignments that were given out during Term 2 with submission during the Examination Period.
Please make sure that you check the dates and times of your examinations… carefully. Students are expected to be available to sit their exams at the dates/times scheduled unless there are reasons outside of your control (eg international time differences…).
As the semester progresses, there may be slight changes to individual exam information. Please check the Learn page for each of your courses and your student e-mail for information regarding your exams.

University Of Canterbury Exam Papers
Official UC exams are administered by the Registry and are held at the end of a course (this may be in the middle or at the end of the year).
The Library receives copies of these from the Examinations Office and they are then made available via this search (NB: there can be delays with this process, exam papers will not appear in this search until some time after the exam has finished).
Department-administered term tests, Foundation Studies tests and exams, and Summer school exams are not included in the exam papers search.
