Exam period

It's important that you check your Access Adelaide account, Course Planner and Critical Dates 2021 for important dates relevant for your study period.

Visit the Graduations website for specific deadlines about conferral applications.

Do you have a face-to-face exam?

Most face-to-face exams will be held at Jubilee Pavilion, Adelaide Showgrounds

If you have a face-to-face exam, it's very important to check the exam venue stated on your MyAdelaide exams timetable. If it says Jubilee Pavilion, then the exam is at Adelaide Showgrounds, approx. 4.4 km's from North Terrace campus. You will need to drive or use public transport to get there, plus allow time to enter the showgrounds and find the pavilion. So, it's very important to leave enough time to arrive at your exam venue.
