Ad hoc assessment procedure

Ad hoc assessments are formal University assessments, managed by the Assessment & Progress Team, that occur outside main assessment periods. Specific procedures relate to these assessments.

Ad hoc assessments: on the day of the assessment

Invigilators will bring signage to the venue, check student ID, collect completed scripts, and report absences, incidents and suspicious behaviour.

The Assessment & Progress Team aims to process assessment question papers as soon as they are available from schools and prepare them for each assessment period. There are some guidelines that schools should adhere to.

Assessment schedule

Each semester, the Assessment & Progress Team sends schools a schedule listing modules with a formal assessment taking place during the next assessment period. The schedule is used to gather information about assessment requirements.

Assessment timetables

The University of Leeds will hold examinations and assessments across three periods during 2024.
