As we near the start of assessment resits it is important that, as a university, we remind those preparing for these exams that we expect the highest level of academic integrity from you.
By now you should have completed the KnowHow tutorial on academic integrity to ensure you are fully aware of our expectations of you and why academic integrity is so important. If you haven’t completed the tutorial, we would encourage you to do so at the earliest opportunity.
We ask you to consider the following points in particular.
Please:
- Enter exam rooms silently and place your bags and coats in the area indicated by the invigilators
- Ensure your mobile phone, smart watch and any other electronic device is turned off and is either placed in your bag or under your desk. Devices must not remain on your person, this includes items in your pocket
- Place your student ID card on your desk
- Ensure that you do not take any notes, paper or other unauthorised material to your desk
- Bring any writing equipment in a transparent pencil case
- Listen to and follow the invigilator’s instructions. Announcements will be made before the exam begins, inside and outside the exam room
- Raise your hand if you have a question for the invigilator and wait until they come to your desk
You must not:
- make use of, or copy, material or the papers of another student
- wear a smartwatch, use a mobile phone or any other internet-enabled device
- communicate with other students in the exam hall
- get assistance from sources other than your tutors or invigilators, whether it’s directly or indirectly
- assist other students, either directly or indirectly
- use generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT during PC exams. You must only access web resources which are permitted as part of the assessment. Website access during online examinations is monitored. For guidance on the University’s position on the use of generative artificial intelligence tools within coursework assignments please visit: University Guidance on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence by students and staff, in learning, teaching, and assessment (liverpool.ac.uk)
- impersonate another student or knowingly allow yourself to be impersonated.
In the event that a module coordinator or invigilator suspects a student of having breached these regulations, the matter may be referred for consideration under the University’s academic misconduct procedures. It is important to familiarise yourself with our Code of Practice on Assessment.
Travelling to campus in time for assessments
Formal assessments are an essential part of your education and you are expected to attend any scheduled in-person (in an exam room on campus) resit assessments unless you are prevented from doing so by illness or other extenuating circumstances.
