I think they mean if you have 3 exams in a row in a single day. This can still be different from 3 exams in one day because there are 4 possible timeslots for exams (~9 am, ~12 pm, ~4 pm, ~7 pm).

I don't remember any particular instances of having exams scheduled like that in the past, but this time, I have three exams scheduled three days in a row, and think I'll still be okay. It's all about time management : ).

If you have exams in three consecutive time periods (ie 9am, 12:30pm 4pm) you can have it rescheduled.

If you have one exam a day then you will not have your exams rescheduled; by the universitý's standards that is a do-able exam schedule.

See the Registrar's site, and the 'Problems' side link.

In my first year I had four exams in 36 hours.

The below conditions are new to me this year:
  1. Three consecutive examinations over two days.
  2. Two consecutive examinations if first one is 3hrs long for December exams only.

Ugh I've had this one before (830, 4pm, and 12 30 next day). Though I guess they still mean 3 consecutive sitting periods.

Kindof makes sense. I don't want to be writing from 8 30 - 11 30 then have to write again in an hour, at 12 30.
