Booking exam space on campus:

If you don’t have a suitable space at home to sit your exam, you can request a safe and quiet place on campus. Due to current COVID-19 guidance we can only offer this space for students staying on campus or living within commuting distance of campus. The Assistive Technology Centre (ATC) will be closed until further notice. Assistive technology on networked computers can be accessed remotely through Horizons.

You can book an exam space by emailing examinations@brunel.ac.uk. Availability will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The Government expects any student who has to return to, or remain on, campus to take a Covid-19 lateral flow test (unless you have already had a positive Covid test in the past 90 days). You can book your test on campus here and more information about our asymptomatic testing site is available here on BruNet.

Students with additional needs should also contact Student Wellbeing to ensure that all necessary exam adjustments are in place.

Information on desk spaces for quiet study and to access resources in the Library can be found here please check before turning up to the Library. When you come to campus, you'll need to show your Brunel ID card at the Welcome desk at the Library.

A regular Book Fetch Service will also be available where you can request items from our collections as there will be no access to open shelving areas. More information is here.
