Examination Procedures
Please remember:
- Students are seated in order of candidate number and not alphabetically.
- Mobile phones are prohibited from the examinations.
- Students are required to place their University Photo ID card face-up on examination desks.
Illness during the examination period
This is to inform you what action you need to take in the event that:
- Illness during the period leading up to your examinations seriously hinders your preparation for the examinations.
You should immediately see your Tutor who can put in an "Early Warning" to the University. Any application to the University needs to be accompanied by medical evidence of the illness and you should, therefore, see your GP if you become seriously ill during the Term. You do not need a certificate from your GP at this point. Please note that coughs and colds or other minor ailments of limited duration will not qualify you for special consideration and you should not trouble your GP needlessly by seeking a medical certificate without consulting your Tutor first. An Early Warning may also be appropriate if you are colour-blind or have dyslexia/dysgraphia/dyspraxia/other Specific Learning Difficulty and again you should see your Tutor as soon as possible if you are affected.
- You are prevented by illness from actually taking an examination.
You must be seen by your GP on the actual day you miss the examination (unless you have previously obtained certification from your GP that you are unfit to take the examination). The College has an arrangement with the Lensfield Medical Practice that an application on your behalf by a Tutor, for an appointment on the same day as that on which an examination has been missed, will always be honoured. Accordingly if you experience any difficulty in making an appointment you should contact your Tutor immediately. The Tutorial and Admissions Office will always be able to make contact with your Tutor if you are unable to do so personally.
- You are taken ill during an examination.
If you are taken ill during an examination and are unable to continue you should immediately notify the invigilator of your examination and ask them to contact the Tutorial and Admissions Office (01223 334811). You must also make arrangements to be seen by your GP on the same day.
Illegible Examination Scripts
Students are reminded that examiners will penalise illegible handwriting in examination scripts. Any student whose examination script requires transcription on the grounds of illegibility will normally be charged £10 per hour.
