1. Students can now postpone between exam types E.g. Paper to online, online to paper
2. Students can select from multiple postponement date options
3. Students can select an available venue for paper exams
Students will not see postponements available for a booked exam if this subject was already previously postponed for any reason. You can contact [email protected] with any related queries.
