25.01.2022 Congrats on finishing Week 11!! As COVID-19 has made the exam situation a bit different, we thought we'd pass on some useful links. It's important to know that exam replacement tasks will be unit specific, so you should check your unit site or ask your unit chair if you have unit specific questions! *This page has links to details about the changes and a link to a form to fill out if you don't have a solid internet connection or computer at home and therefore need to use one ...on campus www.deakin.edu.au//assessment-and/general-exam-information *This answers questions about assessment, including exam replacement tasks www.blogs.deakin.edu.au//enrolment-study-and-administrati/ *Students with exam modifications via the DRC should receive an email to their student account about how these will apply to exam replacement tasks. www.deakin.edu.au/s/health-and-wellbeing/disability-support *Special consideration, including for health or technical problems www.deakin.edu.au//assessment-and-re/special-consideration (NOTE: you must lodge an IT Help support ticket and include the ticket number when you apply for special consideration in regards to technical issues) *DUSA can help with advocacy www.dusa.org.au/our-services/ *Deakin Wellbeing/Health www.deakin.edu.au/students/health-and-wellbeing All the best! Let us know if there's any other help or links you need! (although we can't stop you from procrasta-baking, we're guilty of it too)
