If the exam paper you want is not here

This can be because:

• There was no exam for the paper. Not all courses are assessed by examination.
• The exam paper has not been processed yet. It can take 2–3 months after an exam period finishes for all papers to be processed and made available on the website.
• The Library has not received a copy from the school. A faculty may not have sent exam papers to the Library. Sometimes specific papers are embargoed to make further use of some questions.
• The lecturer has requested that the exam paper not be available. Sometimes specific lecturers request that we take down or do not upload specific papers for whatever reason.

In each of the above cases you will need to get in touch directly with your school or lecturer.
