All students will have 25% extra time built into the duration for all on-campus and online exams. This is an inclusive measure in recognition of the fact that timed assessments can unintentionally present a range of barriers to a diverse range of learners which may result in some being disadvantaged. Sheffield Hallam University is committed to building an inclusive teaching and learning community and this approach aspires to embed inclusivity for all students so that as many as possible can achieve their potential.
The inclusive extra time will be added to your exam time allowance. All exam start, working time and submission times are noted on your exam timetable.
If your learning contract recommends 25% extra time, this is not in addition to the 25% extra time for all students.
If your learning contract recommends 25% extra time, this is not in addition to the 25% extra time for all students.
If you have additional time allocated (above 15 minutes per hour) in your learning contract this will have already been built into your start and finish times as noted on your exam timetable.

Learning Contract review
During your time at university your learning needs may change. This could be because you have a new condition or your current condition may have changed.
Contact the Disabled Student Support team if you think your learning contract needs to be reviewed.
