Can I write a test/exam at an alternative venue?
As a registered part-time distance student, you will be requested to elect your examination centre at registration and may not change this centre less than 8 weeks before the scheduled assessment date. Should you be required to change this centre you will need to submit a request via IIE VC Assist within 10 working days before the scheduled assessment date.
Please note that when applying to write in a different location where you are in a city where there is no IIE campus or centre, the onus is on you, the student:
- To identify a site such as a religious site or an embassy/consulate or educational institution to write. Should you be in hospital you can make similar arrangements there.
- To identify a suitable invigilator.
- To submit an officially letter from site and invigilator confirming they are willing to assist with your examinations, which must be submitted with your application via IIE VC Assist.
- To cover any additional costs.
- The examination will be written at the same time as it is being written in South Africa.
Should you require any additional assistance, please feel free to contact your Student Relations Specialist (SRS).
