Rules of Procedure for Examinations
Rules of Procedure apply to ensure equal opportunities and suitable circumstance for
students sitting their examinations. These Rules of Procedure are applicable to all
written examinations held at the locations appointed for this purpose by or on behalf
of the Board of Examiners of the faculty or school offering the examination.
Definitions:
- Examination coordinator: the person who is responsible for scheduling and
organising a written examination on behalf of a faculty or school;
- The invigilator/head invigilator (authorised by the Board of Examiners): the
person who is responsible on behalf of the examination coordinator of a faculty
or school for overseeing compliance to the Rules of Procedure at the location of
the examination;
- Lecturer with power of examination (examiner): lecturer appointed on behalf of
a faculty or school to administer the examination.
1. If a student violates the Rules of Procedure, the examination coordinator or the
invigilator/head invigilator can decide, on the grounds of the fraud article in the
Education and Examination Regulations in conjunction with the Regulations and
Guidelines, to exclude the student from taking any further part in the
examination. A student who has been refused entry to the examination hall will
not be awarded any results for the examination in question.
2. The student is obliged to follow the instructions given by the examination
coordinator or the invigilator/head invigilator at all times.
3. A place is reserved for each student that registered for the exam in accordance
with the registration procedure.
4. The examination hall is opened at least 15 minutes before the examination.
Students are informed at the entrance of the hall of their allocated seat and may
take their place as soon as the hall is opened.
5. After the official start of the examination, students are not given admittance to
the hall where the examination is held. Regardless of the reason, students are no
longer entitled to take part in the examination.
6. Students may not leave the room until 30 minutes after the official start of the
examination. After this time, students may submit their examination to their
course invigilator. After students have provided proof of identity (see Art. 8), they
must leave the room as quickly and quietly as possible. As soon as students have
handed in their examination and left the room, they will not be allowed to re-enter
the hall.
Answer forms must be handed in by the official end of the examination or as
indicated by the head invigilator.
