Reminders
- It is best not to bring a bag with you as they aren’t allowed into the exam hall, but if you have to bring a bag, please allow time ahead of your exam to store your bag in one of the lockers or bag drops on campus.
- Remember to return your books to the library before the end of the academic year, especially if you’re a final year student and are leaving uni this year, or are going to be away from campus over the summer.
