Equity Examinations
Curtin University recognises that some students require alternative arrangements for their examinations. This may be due to a disability, a medical condition or a religious reason.
Equity Examinations - for Disability or Medical Reasons
Equity examinations are facilitated each semester for students who have a disability or a medical condition that would disadvantage them should they sit the examination in standard conditions.
For further information regarding Disability and Medical Equity Examinations, please contact the University Counselling Services on +61 8 9266 7850 to make an appointment with the Disability Counselling Officers.
At the meeting, students will be required to provide medical documentation to substantiate their condition and to provide advice of unit enrolments. Please ensure that the meeting with the Counsellor is made as early as possible after the final examination timetable is released as the deadline for equity examination applications is 3 weeks prior to the commencement of the examination period.
Further information is available at the Disability Services website
Equity Examinations - for Religious Reasons
Students whose religious convictions preclude them from sitting an examination at the scheduled time may apply for an Equity examination based on religious reasons.
Should circumstances warrant an Equity Examination for religious reasons, please contact the University Counselling Services on +61 8 9266 7850 for an appointment. At the meeting, students will need to provide appropriate documentation from their church or religious group and to provide advice of unit enrolments. Please ensure that the meeting with the Counsellor is made as early as possible after the final examination timetable is released as the deadline for equity examination applications is 3 weeks prior to the commencement of the examination period.
Further information on Chaplaincy Services is available at the University Counselling Services website.
