How to schedule my first time slot for my on-demand exam?

The option for students to schedule their own time and date to sit the exam is only valid for on-demand exams - CAP1 DEBK and Law only. Students will need to book a time and date that suits them to sit the exam. This must be within the exam window (for DEBK assessment and Law exam):
CAP1 DEBK & LAW - 1st November 2022 to 22nd December 2022 and 3rd January 2023 to 3rd March 2023. 
Students must book their exam session at least 72 hours before they wish to sit.

Students will log on to their student portal to the ‘my enrolments’ page. Here the student will click on either the DEBK assessment / Law exam. The student will then be taken to their ProctorU dashboard where the exams they are registered for will appear. The student will click on the exam they wish to book a slot for. The ‘schedule session’ page will appear. The student will choose the date and time which they wish to sit. Once the date and time have been selected by the student, a booking confirmation page will appear. Students will also receive an email confirming their booking. Students must ensure their email is up to date on their student portal, as communication regarding E-Assessment exams will be sent to this address.

If I fail my on-demand exam how do I book a resit?

If a student fails the DEBK assessment or Law exam, they must purchase a resit. The exam results page will present a link to purchase this resit where the student will be prompted for the resit fee of €100/£90. Shortly after a resit has been purchased a new exam will be registered for the student and they will be redirected from the 'My Enrolments' page to the ProctorU homepage where they will be able to schedule their session. 
If you are in receipt of Reasonable Accommodation, please contact the Access Support Executive when rescheduling your resit on-demand exam.
