Examination irregularities

If you are suspected of cheating, attempting to cheat or of assisting someone else to cheat, the facts will be reported to the Examinations & Assessment Office and may be reported to your examiners.

In consequence, you may be disqualified from the examination and excluded from all future examinations of the University and/or the College. Any unauthorised notes or materials will be retained by the University and/or the College at its discretion.

We recommend that you desposit your personal items in the specified area of the examination room as indicated by the invigilators and only keep the items necessary for the exam on or near your desk. If you are found with unauthorised materials (whether by accident or on purpose) they will be confiscated and the incident will be reported to the Examinations & Assessment Office. We therefore recommend that you check carefully that you have nothing that could arouse suspicion anywhere near to your examination desk.

Please pay particular attention to your exam admission notice and ensure that it remains un-annotated throughout the examination period. It should not be used as scrap paper and any notes found on it will be treated as an exam irregularity, regardless of whether the notes were written during the exam.
