Things to remember
Right place, right time
- All invigilated in person exams will take place on our Egham campus and will begin either at 9.30am or 2pm.
- Please arrive at the exam venue at least 30 minutes before the start of the exam so you can get ready and make sure you have everything you need.
- Find your venue before the day of your exam to avoid stress on the day!
No ID, no exam
- You must bring your Student ID Card or valid photo ID with you to every exam. If you don’t present a valid form of photo ID you will be unable to sit the exam. Failing to sit an exam because you didn’t have ID won’t count as an extenuating circumstance.
- If you have lost or damaged your Student ID Card, please request a replacement from the Student Services Centre in advance.
- If you arrive and realise you have forgotten to bring any ID, there will be a helpdesk available for you to get a temporary ID for your exam. The helpdesk will open one Thirty minutes before exams start and close thirty minutes after an exam starts. Any exam time lost while getting a temporary ID will not be given back during your exam.
- If you forget or lose your card during the assessment period, the following forms of in-date photo ID will be accepted:
- Valid Passport
- Photo ID driving licence
- Government-issued national photo ID card.
Photos of a form of ID or your Student ID card on your phone will not be accepted.
Your personal candidate number
- You must know or bring your candidate number to every exam. This is a confidential number which you will be asked to use in place of your name so that your work can be marked anonymously. It changes every year and you can find it on Campus Connect.
Unplug
- Remember to turn off your devices and put them in your bag before entering the exam venue. Getting caught with one will result in penalties of varying severity.
Look after your wellbeing
- While preparing make sure you plan to prioritise your wellbeing. This could involve getting enough sleep, setting time aside to see friends, or scheduling opportunities to get active.
- Remember, support is available if you need it, and our Wellbeing team remains available over the break. You can contact them by emailing wellbeing@royalholloway.ac.uk.
Expect the unexpected
- Plan ahead, exams are not moved or cancelled due to transport strikes so make sure you have a backup plan if you often travel via public transport where required.
