Late Summer Assessments 2026

The LSA exam period for centrally run assessments will run from Friday 14 August to 4 September 2026.  We are aiming for a more compressed timetable without the need to extend the schedule into September; but are keeping those dates as a contingency.  Exams this year may also take place on the Saturdays within the exam period. 

Results Confirmation Deadline: 1 July

The Exams Team will download student data for the LSA timetable in early July.  It is essential that all marks for centrally managed exams have been input and processed, and that Exam Board decisions are fully processed in Portico by the 1 July deadline, to ensure that we are picking up the correct records for inclusion in the assessment timetable.   

Draft Timetable Review: 15-17 July   

The draft timetable along with candidate lists will be circulated to Examination Liaison Officers on 15 July, and we will require any corrections to this information by 17 July at the latest. 

Publication of Final Timetable: The final timetable will be published to students on 23 July. 

Deadline for Question Papers: 24 July   

The Exams Team will send out cover sheets to departments on Wednesday 15 July, with instructions on how to submit. 

For in-person digital exams, if you are authoring these in WISEflow, then please get them to us as soon as possible (ideally by 26 June, if you know an exam is required) to allow us time to check them for you.

Failure to meet these deadlines may result in your examination being cancelled. 

Students requiring Exam Adjustments must apply by 5pm on 13 July in order to guarantee that their arrangements can be put in place.
