The Solomon Islands National University (SINU) earlier this week released a series of important examination announcements for Semester One, 2026, urging students to prepare early and comply with all examination requirements ahead of the upcoming exam period.
In a statement issued by the Student Academic Services (SAS) Management, students were advised to carefully note the examination timetable, venues, eligibility requirements and examination rules to avoid any inconvenience during the examination period.
According to the university, the tentative draft examination timetable for Semester One, 2026 is now available for students to access through their respective faculties, the SAS Office, Student Moodle and the university’s official Facebook page.
Students who come across timetable clashes have been instructed to complete and submit a clash form at the SAS Office as soon as possible.
SINU confirmed that all examinations will be conducted at both Panatina and Kukum campuses during Week 15, from June 22 to July 3, 2026.
At the Panatina Campus, examination venues will include the Pavilion Hall, New Complex LT1 Lecture Theatre, New Complex G2 Room and PT1 to PT8 rooms.
Meanwhile, Kukum Campus examinations will take place at the Lecture Theatre (LTK), A1 to A3 classrooms, B1 to B3 classrooms and DM1 to DM2 classrooms located within the former dormitory classroom buildings.
SAS Management stressed that only officially enrolled students will be allowed to sit examinations.
“Students must ensure they are officially enrolled in their units through the SAS Office and follow the golden rule of ‘No enrolment, no examination,” the statement said.
The university also reminded students that possession of a valid student identification card is mandatory for entry into examination venues.
Newly enrolled students who have not yet collected their ID cards were advised to visit the SAS Office, while students who have lost their cards must pay a replacement fee of $50 at the Finance Office and present the receipt before receiving a new card.
In addition, SINU stated that ID card revalidation services are only available through the SAS Office.
Students have also been reminded to arrive at their examination venues at least 30 minutes before the scheduled starting time.
Seating arrangements will be displayed at examination venues, on Student Moodle and on the university’s Facebook page prior to examinations.
SAS Management further outlined strict examination rules regarding items permitted inside examination rooms.
Only pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, correction fluid, mathematical instruments and calculators where required will be allowed inside examination venues.
“Bags and all personal belongings are strictly not allowed inside examination venues,” the statement emphasised.
The university encourages all students to prepare well in advance and comply with all examination procedures to ensure a smooth and successful examination period for Semester One, 2026.
