Exams and assessment

Students in a classroom during exam

Exam dates are usually set early on, so students have time to study and organise their schedules around the exams.  The majority of end of semester examinations are held in the Sports Hall and are administered by the Student Business Centre.

Students should ensure that they do not make any travel plans during the end of semester examination period. If you are not available to sit a scheduled examination, you may receive a fail grade. Travel plans are not valid grounds for granting a deferred examination.

Bond University provides documents to help with Study Strategies and theory. Read more

Graduation is the ceremony that every student looks forward to. A time to reflect and celebrate. There are usually 2 ceremonies held during Week 4 or 5 in the University Sports Hall.

Students who are attending the Graduation Ceremony need to arrive on campus at least an hour before the ceremony so they can be lined up in order. It is important that everyone follows protocol to ensure all enjoy a smooth and successful day. Read more
