A reminder about being respectful during exams

31 May 2024

Professor Grady Venville, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), reminds the 91视频community to be mindful of students sitting exams on our campus.

Exams for thousands of students at 91视频commenced on Thursday 30 May, running until Saturday 15 June. 

In total, there will be more than 37,300 examination sittings during this period, where a sitting is one student taking an examination. 

These exams represent the culmination of a semester's worth of hard work, study and dedication by 91视频students. Many of our students are sitting their final exams for their university degrees. 

During this period, I鈥檓 reminding everyone in our community to respect the needs of students sitting exams. 

This includes 91视频staff and students protesting on the University鈥檚 campus. 

As has always been the case, our students, staff and community have the right to freely protest and express their views on the 91视频campus.

But protest must be safe, appropriate for our campus, and adhere to Australian law, our codes of conduct and our values as a community.

Members of the wider community who disrupt or impede exams and assessments will be given a lawful and reasonable direction to leave the campus.

91视频continues to provide a wide range of student wellbeing and support services for anyone in our community who needs them.
