Enrolment / Re-enrolment <strong>information</strong> (including enrolment schedule, course selection<br />
forms, and advisor <strong>information</strong>) is currently available online at<br />
http://www.rmit.edu.au/csit/enrol.<br />
<strong>The</strong> exam timetables are published on<br />
http://www.rmit.edu.au/examinations-graduations/timetables six weeks prior to the<br />
commencement of the first exam. Reading time is 15 minutes before the advertised<br />
starting time.<br />
You need to see a doctor and get a certificate. It isn’t reasonable to present a “Student<br />
was ill” certificate which states that you are “ill” for a day! You should ensure that you<br />
give us enough <strong>information</strong> to conclude that you were indeed disadvantaged. It is<br />
unfortunately very easy to find a “quack” who will issue a certificate for a simple headache!<br />
At any rate, you should still try to attend the examination unless you feel too bad. Students<br />
who attend and are too ill to complete the exam, can leave the exam after discussing the<br />
matter with staff on duty.<br />
For more <strong>information</strong> please see the Special Consideration and Deferred Exams policy at:<br />
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/students/spcon.shtml<br />
Possibly, if your documentation and report are in order (see previous question).<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are other grounds for a deferred exam, such as a bereavement etc.<br />
You should obtain a special consideration form from the School Office on level 10 of<br />
building 10 and fill it in and return it to the office (no need for a signature) within 48 hours<br />
of the examination.<br />
Special consideration is also available for other forms of assessment.<br />
If a lecturer believes that you are close to a “pass” grade, they may ask you to undertake<br />
some extra examination. This is not a right. <strong>The</strong> decision is made by the lecturer in concert<br />
with the Examiners’ Meeting(s), and is very rare.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are held in the week before the July semester commences for February semester<br />
exams, and late November for July semester exams. Students planning trips should<br />
bear this in mind. If you do not present yourself for the deferred exam it is your own<br />
fault.<br />
Some universities in some countries allow exams to be re-taken. We do NOT.<br />
