If you have a disability or temporary medical condition, or have difficulties in attending an examination centre, the OU can usually adjust arrangements to suit your individual needs. You will need to
- complete a request form at least two months before the examination
- provide evidence to support your request.
Options include
- question papers in alternative formats
- extra time in the exam
- rest breaks in the exam
- changing the venue, or very occasionally the date
- a home-based exam
- an amanuensis to take your dictation and write out your answers.
If your exam is due in less than two months, contact your regional centre immediately.
