Reassessment and Trimester 3 exam timetables
Please find below a PDF summary of the Exam Timetables for the Reassessment and Trimester 3 Exam Diets. Please ensure to check your personalised exam timetable for further information, including the room you should go to for your exam.
Exam timetable schedule
As exams may be scheduled at any time during the exam period, it is your responsibility to be available throughout the exam diet.
The Reassessment Exam Diet will take place from 22 July - 2 August 2024 and the Trimester 3 Exam Diet will take place from 19 – 23 August 2024.
All students should expect to have exams on following days. Whilst every effort is made to spread exams, the large number of module combinations in some subjects means that students may have two exams on consecutive days. However, you will not be required to sit more than one exam on any one day.
Please contact exams@napier.ac.uk if:
- Your examinations clash (this means your module exams are timetabled to start at the same time on the same day)
- You are scheduled to have two exams on the same day
- Your exam does not appear on your timetable
Only students who have been officially assessed by Disability Inclusion will be eligible for additional exam arrangements during the exam period. If you think that you may require additional exam assistance, see our Disability Inclusion page for how to apply.
Where can I find the Exam Timetable?
Exam Timetables are usually published six weeks before each of the Trimester 1, Trimester 2 and Trimester 3 diets, and for the Reassessment Diet will be available after the Publication of Results.
Each student with an exam sitting will receive a personalised timetable. You can access your timetable at timetable.napier.ac.uk.
I have additional exam arrangements. Will I receive a personalised exam timetable?
Yes, all students including those with additional exam arrangements will be provided with a personalised exam timetable. If you have additional time as part of your Learning Profile and believe this to be incorrect or missing, then please contact exams@napier.ac.uk
How will I know which room my exam is in?

By clicking on the activity, a menu with the details is displayed on the right-hand side. You must go to the exam location which is listed on your personalised timetable.
The Trimester 3 exam timetable will be made available in due course.
Can I go to an alternative Exam location?
