Bring Your Student ID to Every Examination

If you cannot show your student ID or some other acceptable ID (a current passport, photo credit card or photo drivers licence) when you sit an examination, you will be required to fill out a statutory declaration in front of a Justice of the Peace after you have completed that examination. Your grade for that paper will be withheld until this process has been completed.

Entering and Leaving the Examination Room

You should be ready to enter morning examinations at 09:15 You can enter the examination room up to 45 minutes after the doors open, (i.e. until 10:00). After those times, contact the Assessment Office. You may not leave an examination during the first 45 minutes of writing time, (i.e. 10:15) or the last 15 minutes. You need to get the Examination Supervisor’s permission to leave the room before the end of the examination. Children are not allowed in the examination room.

Material NOT Allowed in the Examination

Cheating in any matter connected with assessment is prohibited.

Material Allowed in the Examination

In open book examinations, you may bring in any reference material. In restricted book examinations, you may bring in only reference material specified by the examiner.
