Alternative Exam Date

Does anyone know if you are able to arrange an alternative date to sit an exam that clashes with an important personal date?

You can't arrange a date but possibly do resits if the date is unsuitable due to some special reason, i.e. medical examination...

Thanks a million. If that was the case would my GPA drop if I had to resit?

What can I do if I miss a mid-term assignment / exam because of circumstances beyond my control?

You can apply for ‘Extenuating Circumstances’ – which takes into account unforeseen circumstances in students’ lives that prevent them from attending class, handing in assignments or sitting exams. For more information on what constitutes ‘extenuating circumstances’ as well as guidance notes and application forms then do refer to UCD policy here.
