Dates for Exams

Edith Cowan University administers central exams at the end of Semester 1, Semester 2, Summer and Winter School.

Exams are held every day from Monday to Friday and are held across 3 sessions a day (morning, afternoon and evening). You are expected to sit both exams when you have two exams scheduled in one day, including consecutive exams.

If you have two consecutive exams on the same day but on different campuses, you have the option email to ECU Assessments to discuss options available to you.

It is important to note that students cannot, under any circumstances, apply to defer a Supplementary Assessment.  Additionally, as the Alternate Exam Period is the final centralised exam period for the progression period, no further deferral requests will be considered.
