Exams Access Arrangements

During your time studying with Lincoln College, it's likely you will take some formal exams. Some learners may need extra support in their exams and Student Services can help with this. Learners are responsible for their own applications for this.

**Please note that if you have had Access Arrangements or Reasonable Adjustments with another setting, for example at school, you will still need to apply for these arrangements with us and provide us with evidence of why you need these arrangements. Exam concessions do not automatically follow you from your previous setting. If in doubt or you have any questions, please contact us using the listed contact details below**

~ Scroll to bottom of page for Application Forms ~

What is an Access Arrangement?

Access arrangements can be organised for exams to ensure that all learners have fair access to the exam, whilst not compromising its integrity. Access arrangements ensure that Exam Boards are compliant with the Equality Act. Some concessions available could be: extra time, reader, scribe, small group, coloured paper or a reading pen
