ELC exams are usually run in the study / revision week in Semesters A and B. Other exams may be scheduled at the discretion of the ELC.

The Academic Regulations and Records Office posts the exam schedule on the Academic Information Management System (AIMS) and informs students when the schedule is available. Students are responsible for finding out when and where the ELC exams take place.

Students who wish to defer an exam must write to the ELC Head to seek approval. If they do not get a reply within two working days, they should contact the ELC General Office.

All assessments go through an Exam Moderation Committee, which makes the final decision whether a student passes or fails. The committee takes into consideration a student’s overall performance.
