Failing to show for an exam If you fail to show for an exam, you cannot sit at another time or day, and your exam invigilation fee is forfeited. Some units have a mid exam and a final exam. If you do not attend the mid exam but you booked both mid and final exams, we will still expect you to sit the final exam you booked unless you cancel it on-line. We will not assume you want to sit an alternative exam. If you had not booked the final exam, we would not expect you to sit, and therefore would not have a paper for you.
