All students sitting reassessment exams:

• Make sure to check your exam venue and seat number on your my.tcd.ie portal the day before your exam.
• Please be aware that you may be assigned a different seat number and a different venue for each exam.
• If an exam you are taking does not appear on your my.tcd.ie portal and you have been granted exam accommodations by the Disability Service, please email askexams@tcd.ie with your student number and module codes.
• Arrive at the exam venue 30 minutes before the start of the exam.
• Remember to bring your Trinity student ID card with you to all exams. You will need to place this on your desk for invigilators to check.

RDS Main Hall exams

• The reassessment exams in the RDS are being held at RDS Main Hall and not at the Simmonscourt complex. Follow the signs for Trinity exams.
• Limited parking will be available, at a rate of €7 per day.
• There is ample bicycle parking and the RDS is served by public transport.
• If you have an exam at the RDS and would like to visit the venue in advance of exam week, there will be an opportunity to do so on Friday, 25 August, between 11am and 2pm. This provision has been put in place to allow all students to acclimatise to the space. There is no requirement to visit if you do not want to and there is no need to book in advance if you do.
• When completing exams in the main exam venues, you will find a biodegradable bag at your desk upon arrival. Place all restricted items (such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.) in this bag, tie it, and place it under your desk so that it does not block walkways. Any restricted items found outside of this bag will be confiscated and you may receive a fine. Bring the bag with you when you leave the exam venue and dispose of it in a compost bin or make use of it at home.

Requesting a campus venue for online exams

• Some students may require space on campus to sit an online exam. This may be because you have an in-person exam and an online exam on the same day, and you are experiencing connectivity or accommodation issues.
• If you find yourself in this situation, some places are available on campus. Please complete the online form to request a space—if you are an undergraduate student, your tutor is required to support your request; if you are a postgraduate student, you must have the support of your course director.
• Please note that students will be assigned a shared room on campus for the exams, and that you will be required to bring your own battery-powered device.
• Demand may be high on certain days: we will do our utmost to accommodate all requests, but spaces will be apportioned on a first-come first-served basis.
