The Examination Hall regulations

(1) An examination attendance sheet is laid on the desk for each candidate to complete upon arrival. These are collected by the invigilator after 30 minutes have elapsed from the start of the examination. Candidates are not normally allowed to enter the examination room more than fifteen minutes after the time at which the examination is scheduled to begin.

(2) Candidates arriving more than 15 minutes after the start of the examination are required to complete a “Late arrival form” which requires him/her to sign a statement that they understand that they are not entitled to any additional time. Candidates are not allowed to leave the examination room less than 30 minutes after the commencement of the examination.

(3) Books, papers, briefcases and cases must be left at the back or sides of the examination room. It is an offence against University discipline for a candidate to have in his/her possession in the examination any material relevant to the work being examined unless this has been authorised by the examiners.

(4) Candidates must take their seats within the block of desks allocated to them and must not communicate with other candidates either by word or sign, nor let their papers be seen by any other candidate.

(5) Candidates wishing to attract the attention of an invigilator shall do so without causing a disturbance. Any candidate who causes a disturbance in an examination room may be required to leave the room, and shall be reported to the Secretary to the University.

(6) Personal handbags must be placed on the floor at the candidate’s feet; they should be opened only in full view of the Invigilator.

(7) An announcement will be made to candidates that they may start the examination, although they may begin without waiting for this announcement. Candidates must stop writing immediately when the end of the examination is announced.

(8) Answers should be written in the script book provided. Rough work, if any, should be completed within the script book and subsequently crossed out. Script books must be left in the examination hall.

(9) During an examination, candidates will be permitted to use only such dictionaries, other reference books and calculators as have been issued or authorised by the examiners. The use of hand held personal technology such as “Personal Organisers” and mobile telephones is not permitted. Calculators that have a QWERTY, AZERTY or similar keypads are not permitted unless their use is expressly authorised by the examiners. Such authorisation will be stated on the front page of the examination paper. (See also 3.2.)

       (i) to make use of unfair means in any University examination,
       (ii) to assist a candidate to make use of such unfair means,
       (iii) to do anything prejudicial to the good conduct of the examination, and
       (iv) to impersonate another candidate or allow another candidate to impersonate him/her.

(11) Candidates will be required to display their University Card on the desk throughout all written degree examinations and certain other examinations. If a card is not produced, the candidate will be required to make alternative arrangements to allow his/her identity to be verified before the examination is marked.

(12) Smoking and eating are not allowed inside the examination room.

(13) If an invigilator suspects a candidate of cheating, she/he shall impound any prohibited material and shall inform the Examinations Office as soon as possible.

(14) Cheating is an extremely serious offence, and any candidate found by the Discipline Committee to have cheated or attempted to cheat in an examination may be deemed to have failed that examination or the entire diet of examinations, or be subject to such penalty as the Discipline Committee considers appropriate.
