Entering for assessments

Sessions

If your programme requires you to enter for assessments, you will find your assessment entry button on the Assessments page when logged in to the Portal. You will receive an email alert when the assessment entry process is open. 

Important note: Your local assessment centre’s deadline for entries may be significantly earlier than the Universities stated deadline. Please make yourself aware of their deadline and complete entry with them as soon as possible.​​​​​​​

Cancelling an assessment entry: You will only receive a refund of your fees if you withdraw within 14 days of making entry, informing us by using the 'Ask a question' button on the Home page. You should check your centre's refund policy in relation to their fee. You are strongly advised not to make an entry if you have any doubts you will be academically, physically or financially prepared to sit. Assessment entry fees are non-refundable or transferable outside of this period.
