All of our assessments will now be delivered online or remotely, your assessment will take one of three forms:

• Option 1. 
  An open-book non-invigilated paper that must be completed and submitted within a 24 hour period following the examination start time written on your paper and on your examination timetable.

  You can use as much of the available 24 hours as you wish, but we do not expect the paper to take the full 24 hours to complete. An indicative amount of time, and/or a maximum word count(s), will be stipulated in the examination rubric.

  Students will need to download, complete, and upload/submit their paper within the specified 24 hour period.

• Option 2. 
  An open-book non-invigilated examination that must be completed and submitted within a fixed duration during a specified 24 hour period as defined on your paper and on your examination timetable.

  As soon as you begin the download of your examination paper it will be time stamped, and the fixed duration of the examination will begin.

  The duration will be adjusted, where appropriate, with respect to Individual Learning Plans. You are also allowed an additional 30 minute window for submission to the relevant platforms.

  Please ensure you use the 30 minute window at the end of the fixed duration to upload and submit your work, contacting the Assessment Helpdesk should you have any problems during the examination.

  Students will need to download, complete, and upload / submit their paper within the specified 24 hour period

• Option 3.
  An extended examination to be taken over a number of weeks. Option 3 extended examinations are designed to be manageable alongside other time pressures, including other assessments.

  Please be aware, during the Ref/Def assessment period you will not be able to apply for an extension to an option 3 assessment. This is because option 3 assessments are still to be treated as examinations, and therefore students will have to apply to defer should they not be able to complete the assessment in the allocated weeks.
