Accessing your exam timetable

You are responsible for knowing the correct date, time, and location of your exam. You are expected to make yourself available for all your scheduled exams and prepare accordingly for the day.

Exam periods

Your exam months depend on your cohort (also referred to as your intake) – the month you started your course. Exact exam dates will vary by module, so always check your module guide and Canvas announcements for confirmed dates.

• Semester 1: January
• Semester 2: May and June

January cohort:

• Semester 1: May
• Semester 2: September

June cohort:

How to find your exam timetable

Your personal exam timetable will be posted on your announcements page on Canvas. You will also be notified by email when it’s ready to view. Please make sure to check Canvas and your emails regularly ahead of the exam period for your programme.

Can’t see your exam timetable?

If you haven’t received your timetable for upcoming exams, please contact Student Services at studentservices@rcl.ac.uk and include your student HE number in your email.

How exams are scheduled?

You are expected to prioritise your availability when an exam is scheduled for your programme.

Your exams may not always align with your teaching timetable. If your exam coincides with a scheduled class, you will be excused from the class to attend the exam.

Where are exams scheduled?

Exams are conducted on-campus and off-campus (external venue). The location of your exam will be clearly indicated on your exam timetable, and you will receive all the necessary details in advance. The location of your exam cannot be changed, so make sure to arrange your plans accordingly ahead of time.
