Exam Centre nomination

If you live in a remote area and are not able to travel to one of UOW's exam centres, you will be required to find a supervisor who can provide suitable arrangements for your exam.

Your supervisor will need to meet the following criteria:

• The supervisor must not be your relative, your friend, or a friend of your family
• The supervisor must not have any vested interest in your studies
• The supervisor must be able to speak, read and write in English
• The supervisor must be able to keep the exam materials locked in a secure location before the exam
• The supervisor must agree not to divulge by any means the contents of the exam paper to any person

The supervisor should ideally be an approved member of staff at a higher education institution.

If this is not possible because of your location, your supervisor may otherwise be a member of one of the following professions AND be able to provide evidence in the form of a business card, original letterhead, or link to the company's website including their contact details:         

• • Minister of religion or other religious leader
  • Police officer
  • School teacher
  • Justice of the Peace
  • Certified Practising Accountant, Chartered Accountant or Chartered Engineer
  • Solicitor
  • Librarian
  • Doctor

To nominate a supervisor, download the application form and return it to the Exams Team by email or fax (+61 2) 4221 3295.
