   Important to Know:

   • It is your responsibility to know the date, time, and location of your exams, and you must ensure your attendance.
   • UCD will do its best to minimise noise during exams, but as exam centres are in busy areas, it may not always be possible to avoid outside noise.
   • If an exam has to be postponed due to exceptional circumstances, it will be rescheduled. You will receive a notification via your UCD Connect email.
