Info

When completing your assessments online, you may be required to submit one file only.  If this is the case, you will be instructed by your department. This file will need to include both your answers and the coversheet. In the case of students with Individual Exam Adjustments, it will also need to include your Letter of Notification. You may also be required to submit a PDF file rather than any other file format. We advise that you practise the following processes well in advance of taking your assessments so that you feel confident and comfortable on the day of your assessment.

The easiest way to combine various documents (coversheet, your answer, letter of notification etc.) is simply to copy and paste into one word Word document. If you are not familiar with this, expand the next section for detailed step-by-step guidance.
