Rules in exams and timed online assessments
Exams and timed online assessments are a chance for you to demonstrate your learning and understanding.
It is important that you follow University rules about exam conduct and listen carefully to invigilator’s instructions on the day.
Conduct rules
You must not attempt to gain unfair advantage by:
- accessing questions in advance
- bringing unauthorised items into an exam
- copying or accessing unauthorised information
- communicating with other students (in person or online)
- or any other breach of rules on exams and online tests.
What happens if you break the rules in assessments
Rule-breaking in exams or online tests is a very serious breach of academic integrity. The normal penalty is permanent exclusion from the University.
For more information, see the Academic Misconduct Procedure available on the Student Cases page.
