Changes to online exams
You should note the following significant, University-wide changes to computer-based exams and multiple choice question assessments for 2022-23:
- The removal of the 24-hour window. All students will now take the exam at the same time. This applies to computer-based exams and multiple choice questions.
- The computer-based exam duration will be reduced from 3 hours to 2.5 hours. (2 hours for answering questions and 30 minutes for scanning and uploading).
- The multiple choice questions exam duration will be 2 hours.
Additional time for students with reasonable adjustments will be calculated on the standard 2 hours permitted.

In-person exams
In 2022-23 the Engineering Department will be running some in-person exams in January. These are called unseen exams. All other exams in the School of Engineering & Informatics will be conducted online, either as computer-based exams, or as multiple choice questions. The exam type for each module will be shown in the 'Mode' column in your assessment timetable on Sussex Direct. Exam dates for autumn term modules are now published in your timetable on Sussex Direct. Assessment details for semester two modules will be added in due course.
