Your personalised exam schedule on SAMIS
From 17 March 2025, personalised exam schedules for upcoming exams will be available on SAMIS.
The schedule on SAMIS tells you the dates and times of your exams and whether your exams are in-person using paper or Inspera, or sat remotely and online using Inspera.
The default type of exam is an on-campus, in-person exam using pen and paper. If the room shown in SAMIS is:
- A room only such as 4 WEST – 1.10, your exam will be sat on campus, normally using paper.
- A room and Inspera such as 10 EAST - 0.24 (Inspera), you will sit your Inspera exam in-person in this room. You cannot choose to take your exam in another location.
- Inspera only, your exam will be sat using Inspera remotely, in a location you choose.
If you hold a Student (or Tier 4) visa to study in the UK, you are currently required to undertake all of your study (including all exams delivered online) in the UK. For further information please contact the Student Immigration Service at studentimmigrationservice@bath.ac.uk.

Exams will start between 9am and 5pm UK local time, Monday to Friday. If you are taking your exam outside of the UK, you will need to sit the exam according to the UK time on the schedule. You are expected to plan your time accordingly.
Further information on the types of exams you could be set is provided in the Student Exam Handbook.

What to do if you can’t attend a scheduled exam
Please note that the dates of each assessment period are published on the Academic Year Charts for the current and following academic year. Students should be aware of these dates and should expect to attend all scheduled exams and assessments. Scheduling exams at the University is complex, and therefore it is not usually possible to change the schedule for a single student. You should read your Department Handbook to find out what to do if you:
- Unexpectedly can't attend an exam
- Are ill, or likely to be ill for more than three days.
- Have a clash with a planned religious observance, or medical appointment.
- Need to be absent for more than three days for a planned reason such as a medical or surgical procedure, or to participate in a religious observance. You can apply for a leave of absence and your department can arrange in advance for time off study. It may be able to consider other options.
