Dear Students,

Please note the following information pertaining to 1^st term FINAL Examination Timetable.

FINAL Examination Timetable

The FINAL Examination Timetable has been released on CUSIS under the tab “Exam Timetable for UG Courses” today (9 November 2022). Students MUST check carefully their FINAL Examination Timetable under CUSIS for the date, time, venue and seat number assigned for each examination. For examinations to be held by individual Departments, the seat number will NOT be assigned in students’ final examination timetable. Students concerned should follow the arrangements of Departments concerned in seating arrangements.

For individual students with special education needs (SEN), the FINAL Examination Timetable released may NOT be applicable to them. Students concerned should refer to separate e-mail/notification from RES/course teachers/Departments for their examination arrangements, and contact RES if they have not received the information by 21 November 2022. They may also refer to the examination information posted on RES website for the date of the concerned examinations.

Students MUST attend the course examinations according to the information stated in their Final Examination Timetable. If a student goes to a wrong examination venue, s/he will NOT be assigned the seating in the wrong examination venue and has to take his/her own time to go to the correct venue without time compensation if s/he is late for that examination session.
