Examinations & Assessments

While continuous assessment occurs throughout many modules on our courses many are also assessed by scheduled examinations at the end of each semester. The methods of assessments are specific to each course and the modules within that course.  Assessments in the forms of quizzes, practical labs and assignments are used to gauge students’ understanding of a topic throughout an academic semester.

For examinations, students may have to attend an in-person exam at a nominated venue by ATU or at an ATU campus.  If you are studying a fully online course, it may be possible for the exam to be taken remotely via online proctoring, if you are an overseas student or a student with extenuating circumstances.  End of semester exams are typically held in January and May each year, and you may be required to take some time off work to attend these exams.
