• 15 minutes rest breaks per hour to test and treat blood sugar levels
• Permitted to bring in food and drink

• Permitted to bring in a cushion

• 15 minutes extra time per hour
• Neurodiversity assessment coversheet
• Use of a computer (as appropriate)
• Permitted to bring own coloured overlay (as appropriate)

This may a combinations of these arrangements, as appropriate, for your condition:

• Extra time and/or rest break
• Enlarged font
• Scribe and/or reader
• Use of a computer

For this we would have:

• Neurodiversity Assessment Coversheet

If you are granted PAA, the format of the online exam you are taking will determine if additional time will be included for your assessment:

• For online exams taken over a 24-hour period where you can submit your assessment at any time within the 24 hours provided, no additional time will be awarded. The expectation is that such assessments will take approximately the same length of time as a traditional exam, and thus the 24-hour time period allows for any extra time or rest breaks you would have taken in an invigilated exam on campus.
• For online exams where you will have 24 hours within which you may open your assessment at any point and once the assessment has been opened, becomes timed and you have an allocated amount of time to complete the assessment, additional time will be awarded.
• For online exams with a fixed duration (e.g. 2-4 hours), if your PAA includes additional time then this will be added. Additional time may also be included for online exam paper download and collation/upload periods.

If you have a neurodiversity assessment coversheet as part of your PAA provisions, then you should attach this to the first page of your document.
