University exam regulations

Before sitting an exam, you should familiarise yourself with the University's rules and regulations for academic assessment.

Read the University's Policies and Regulations relating to Academic Assessment and Awards.

Instructions for exam candidates

For every formal written examination, a document called Instructions and Regulations for Exam Candidates is placed on each exam desk.

The document explains the rules and responsibilities that all students must follow during an exam.

We recommend reading the instructions before your exam so you know what to expect and understand your responsibilities as a candidate.

Academic misconduct

You must follow all exam instructions and regulations.

Failure to follow exam rules may be treated as academic misconduct, which is a serious disciplinary offence and may result in significant consequences.
