Take Home Examinations
Some units will have a take home examination instead of an invigilated exam. The dates (and times) at which the take home exams need to be submitted is shown in the Prato Timetable. Take-home examinations will be made available students electronically, usually by uploading the examination to the unit webpage. In some units, hard copies of the examination may be made available in the last class or through the Academic Programs Coordinator.
Take-home examinations can be submitted electronically. This means that you can leave Prato after your exams in other units (if any), and write your take-home exam anywhere you wish.

Arts/Criminology Prato Program:
Arts (Criminology)/Law students can enrol in one or two Arts (Criminology) units in Prato 2012
