Allot of us students have to work part-time in order to come to Uni in the first place, not only that but in most cases if you work part-time then you will be having to work Saturdays. The fact that allot of us will lose out on a full day's pay to sit an exam which some of us cannot afford to do, I petition that those of us who cannot attend a Saturday exam that we can sit the exam on another day. I've spoken to Lesley she advised that I should collect the names of everyone who cannot attend the Saturday exam for Social policy and Social change. Lesley also confirmed that the exam timetable is still provisional and open to change. I will be taking the list of names to Linda and putting forward a case that we should be able to sit the exam on a different day. With enough of us it will work but we need support.

The list is growing and I am taking it to Linda this week. Please keep adding your names so we have the strongest case possible.

The momentum is undeniable now. Linda will be seeing this list soon.

I work saturdays and struggle to make ends meet as it is. Therefore having this exam on a Saturday would make me struggle for money.

I am unable to sit the exam on a Saturday as I have 4 children who I would need to arrange and pay for childcare for due to it being out with school and uni hours

I have a daughter so it means arranging childcare out with what we already have in place for her.

I work at the weekends so taking time off for an exam is unacceptable as I am trying to save/clock enough hours for holidays.

I can't make it. Exams should be within uni time
