Access to examination papers
Access to examination papers is restricted to UWA staff and students.
Supplementary examination papers may also be included.
Past examination papers are identifiable by their course codes. In recent years course codes have changed from a six-digit numerical format (e.g. 150.101), to an eight-digit alpha-numerical format (ANTH1101). Old course codes are available in the course information printed in the Undergraduate Handbook.
Electronic examination papers
Examination papers are available via Course Materials Online. They are listed in CMO unit lists alongside other materials identified by your lecturers as important for your unit.
Only the most recent five years are available online.
To locate examination papers search via the appropriate unit course code. For more information on CMO please see How to find course materials in the Library.
Examination papers are stored in PDF format. If you are using a home or office computer, you may need to install special viewing software.
Remember not all examination papers are published. If you are unable to locate an examination paper, please check the listings of Examination paper not available for publication.
Please contact your subject library if you require any further assistance.
Print examination papers
Print copies of past examination papers are available from the Scholars' Centre. The most recent five years are available for use in the Library only.
These print copies contain exactly the same papers as the electronic exam papers available through Course Materials Online.
They do not include papers which have not been made available for publication.
