Summary of Changes from Previous Version

The UOW examination policy suite, last reviewed in 2022, has undergone revisions to improve clarity and operational alignment. Initially comprising four documents—Examination Rules, Examination Procedures, Examination Procedures for Offshore Students, and Online Examination Procedures—the Examination Rules have now been integrated into the draft Teaching and Assessment Policy, which is currently under consolidation.

The Examination Procedure, Online Examination Procedure and The Examination Procedures for Offshore Students have been merged into a single, unified document. This new procedure aims to provide clear guidance for both students and staff.
