Information on exam venues and how to change your venue

Exam venues
If the assessment requirements of your course include a supervised exam, then you are required to attend an in-person exam at an Open Polytechnic approved exam venue.
- You will be allocated to the exam venue nearest to the home address we currently have listed for you (check MyOP and update your address as needed).
- Your exam venue will be on your exam admittance letter which is emailed to you approximately three weeks before your exam. Note: you will receive an email and admittance letters for each exam you are enrolled in.
Exam venues can change from time to time so please check your admittance letter carefully.

List of exam venues and availability.

If your exam is in a venue you have not used before, we recommend you familiarise yourself with how to get there and how long it will take before exam day. This will avoid unnecessary stress on the day of your exam.
