Online Remote (these are examinations that you access off campus in a place of your choice). You should think about where you want to sit your examinations. You will need to have reliable internet connection and a pc or laptop available for the whole examination period.
Online on campus (these are examinations that you will access in a dedicated room on campus). The room will be indicated on the exam timetable and you should make sure you know where you are heading to on the day and aim to arrive 30 minutes before the examination starts.
