Exam types
EXAM PROCEDURES
Arrival time
- We recommend you arrive at least 20 minutes early to allow for identification checks and to get settled in before your exam starts.
Late arrival for an exam
- If you arrive in the first 30 minutes of working time (after reading time), you can sit your exam. Make sure you make yourself known to the Chief Proctor on arrival. If you arrive later than 30 minutes into working time, you won’t be able to sit the exam.
Early exit from an exam
- You cannot leave your exam venue in the first 30 minutes or last 10 minutes of working time, except in an emergency. If you need to leave during an exam, stay seated, raise your hand and wait for a Proctor. It is really important you don’t take the exam paper or exam materials out of the exam venue when you leave.
WHAT TO BRING
To have the best exam experience we recommend you get everything ready the day before each exam.
For end of trimester exams, start by checking your personal exam timetable in myGriffith, as everything you are approved to take into your exam will be listed there.
Griffith student ID card
- Bring your Griffith student ID card to all exams. If you don’t have one, bring an alternative form of photo ID, such as a driver’s licence or passport.
Stationery items
- Remember to bring your pen, pencil and eraser to every exam. Pencil cases must be placed on the floor under the desk during exams. No scrap paper or other materials are allowed unless they have been specified for the exam.
Personal items
- If you can, please leave all valuable items at home as the University does not guarantee the safe keeping of your personal items during exams.  If you bring your purse or wallet into the exam venue, it must be placed on the floor under your desk, or in your bag. Proctors will advise where the bag storage areas are. All bags must be kept in these.
Electronic devices
- You will not be able to bring electronic devices into your exams, including laptops, iPads or smart watches. Make sure you turn your mobile phone off and keep it in your bag, in the designated bag area, while you are in the exam venue, and that you don’t have it in your pocket or on you in an exam.
Calculators
- If a calculator is permitted for your end of trimester exam, its type will be listed on your personal exam timetable in myGriffith. Make sure the calculator has been removed from its case. It will be checked by a Proctor at the start of the exam.
Dictionaries
- If a dictionary is permitted for your end of trimester exam, its type will be listed on your personal exam timetable in myGriffith. Dictionaries will be checked at the beginning of the exam, and cannot contain comments or unauthorised materials (such as handwriting, diagrams or other printed inserts and attachments). All dictionaries must be unmarked.
- The University only allows two types of non-electronic dictionaries in exams - an English translation dictionary or a non-electronic open dictionary.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW?
- It is your responsibility to know what you can take into your exam. Make sure you don’t take unauthorised materials in. Academic Integrity explains the University’s expectations of you.
- Section 3.3.3 of the Assessment Procedure for Students has more information about materials allowed in central exams.
EXAM LOCATIONS
- Check your personal exam timetable in myGriffith for details of where your exams are being held. Remember to check the timetable 24 hours before each exam, as venue allocations may sometimes change. Refer to the room locations guide or the relevant campus map.
- Please allow plenty of travel time prior to your exam to find a carpark and get to your exam. Griffith University will not be responsible for any students missing exams due to parking difficulties.

Frequently asked questions
Answer
Online offerings of courses at Griffith typically run for the same number of weeks as the on-campus equivalent. Course materials, staff information and discussion forums are still accessed the same way through Learning@Griffith as on-campus offerings. Please note that the assessment criteria is typically different and may require you to attend the end of trimester exam on campus. Specific details on assessment requirements for an online offering can be found in the course profile.
If you are unsure of whether online study is for you, you can self-assess your suitability using our Are you ready to study online? tool that maps your strengths, competencies and areas for development in readiness for online study.
