Aberrant examination

What is an aberrant examination?

An aberrant examination adjusts the standard exam setup or schedule to prevent disproportionate delays in your study programme.

The Board of Examiners decides whether or not you will be granted an aberrant examination. While often an oral exam, the examiner decides format, but also the timing.

When can you request an aberrant examination?

Exams typically follow the schedule and format outlined in the Teaching and Examination Regulations, Ocasys, and the exam schedule. However, if you are faced with unacceptable delay, the Board of Examiners may approve an aberrant examination.

An aberrant examination is only granted in extraordinary and pressing cases under strict conditions. Only the Board of Examiners can approve them.

For more details including the conditions, please check the Aberrant Examination Regulation.

Students with a support question

The Faculty offers tailored support for students with impairments, disabilities and/or chronic illnesses. Since every situation is unique, contact the study advisers for assistance.

How to apply

Complete the request aberrant examination regulation form of the Board of Examiners.

Once approved:

  • Contact the examiner to arrange the details.
  • The exam must occur within two months of the Board of Examiners' decision.
  • You must be registered as a student at the time of the exam. Without valid registration, the examiner cannot conduct the exam, and your result will not be processed.

Note
Do not submit a request for an aberrant examination for your final course if you have not completed all other components. The Board of Examiners cannot approve such requests.
