SECTION II : PROCEDURE BEFORE THE EXAM
1. Collection of Exam papers
Exam papers will be collected by the Chief Invigilators in each Exams Hall from Student Administrative
Services, 2nd Floor, University House at 8:15 am for morning exams and 13:15 pm for afternoon exams.
For the main exam halls: The envelopes containing the question papers will be arranged in order of
desk numbers when these are collected from the Exams Office. The Chief Invigilators will also be
provided with the seating plans and setting up sheets for the session following the one they are due to
invigilate.
2. Invigilators’ Attendance Sheet
For the main exam halls, Invigilators are required to sign the attendance sheet kept by the Chief
Invigilator. There is no Invigilator’s attendance sheet for the PC Room or Alternative exam Rooms.
3. Allocation of Duties (Main Exam Halls)
The Chief Invigilator will allocate the question papers and the envelopes for the scripts to the
invigilators in such a way that each invigilator will deal with a particular part of the Exam Hall. The
Chief Invigilator should allocate to each invigilator question papers and envelopes relating to a block
of adjacent desks. Chief Invigilators should circulate the appropriate seat listing to the Invigilators
shortly before the start of the exam and the marked up list should be returned to them at the close of
the exam.
The responsibility for a paper should not be shared between two Invigilators if this can be avoided,
even if this results in inequalities in the workload. However, it is recognised that there are a few papers
with a very large number of candidates for which a split of responsibility may have to be made.
4. Exam stationery
For the main exam halls: It is the responsibility of the invigilators to place the exam papers on each
desk before the exam begins. Once the exam papers have been distributed, Chief Invigilators should
ask Invigilators to check with them that the papers have been placed on every desk used for the exam.
All desks will already be set up with the exam stationery required. All candidates are provided with one
or more answer books before the exam starts.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: Each candidate will be provided with an individual packet
containing all the required stationery and the appropriate exam paper.
In all exam rooms, supplies of answer books and other stationery such as an English Dictionary, pens
and pencils are available in the exam room.
4
5. Opening of doors
The doors of the exam room should be opened to candidates, on the instruction of the Chief Invigilator,
no later than TEN MINUTES before the scheduled beginning of the exam.
6. Candidates who do not appear on seating plan
For the main exam halls: The invigilator should admit to an exam any student whose name does not
appear on the list of candidates, provided that an exam paper and a place are available, or unless
previously advised otherwise by the Exams Office. The student should be allocated one of the spare
seats (do not use the seats allocated to candidates who are absent) and be provided with an exam
paper together with all the required stationery. The Invigilator must add the student’s name and seat
number to the seating list and registration number to the script packet front.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: Should a candidate arrive who does not appear in the
diary, or have a packet available, the Invigilator should notify the Exams Office immediately.
7. Late arrivals
For the main exam halls: Any candidate who arrives within the first 30 minutes of the exam should
be permitted to start without any report being made, BUT NO EXTRA TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED.
No candidate will be allowed to enter the exam room after the end of the first HALF HOUR of the
exam.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: Any candidate whose name appears in the diary or for
who there is a packet available, who arrives within the first 30 minutes of the exam should be
permitted to start without any report being made, BUT NO EXTRA TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED. No
candidate will be allowed to enter the exam room after the end of the first HALF HOUR of the exam.
In all other circumstances candidates arriving late should be told to report immediately to the
Department setting the exam and Student Administrative Services should be informed straightaway.
8. Start of the Exam
Students are not allowed to start the exam until directed to do so by the Chief Invigilator. However
students may complete the pink attendance card and the front of the answer books and cover sheets.
As soon as the Chief Invigilator is satisfied that all students are seated and ready to start, s/he should
make the announcements (Appendix A), and start the exam. The Chief Invigilator should not wait for
candidates who were late arriving at the venue, however they should be aware of students queuing to
enter the exam hall.
If, for any reason, there was a delay in getting all of the candidates seated and the exam started, the
Chief invigilator should allocate the appropriate extra time at the end of the exam and should
announce this to candidates at the beginning of the exam. All students who arrived at the venue on
time should receive the full time allotted for their exam.
5
SECTION III: PROCEDURE DURING THE EXAM
1. Announcements
At the commencement of the exam, Chief Invigilators should make the relevant announcements as
prescribed in appendix A
2. Student Registration Numbers & Anonymous Marking
Students must write their student registration number in the space provided on the answer book; if a
student has forgotten their student card, they should ask the Invigilator to provide them with their
registration number.
For the main exam halls: When a request for supplying the registration number is made, Invigilators
should check first the seating plan; if the student is not listed, the (Chief) Invigilator should telephone
the Exams Office which will provide the number by checking the Student Record System.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: Some candidates are eligible for allowances in spelling,
grammar and sentence construction in the marking of their scripts. In order to allow these students to
be identified whilst maintaining anonymous marking they are required to complete an additional lilac
coversheet entitled, “Additional Assessment/Exam Cover Sheet for Students with Special Allowances”
which should be attached to their script. The Exams Office will have included this sheet in the packet of
any students that are eligible for these allowances, however, spares will be available in the exam room
should a student require one. It is the individual student’s responsibility to complete and attach the
sheet. There is no requirement to check a student’s eligibility with the Exams Office.
3. Food and Drink
Students are permitted to have a small bottle or can of drink and a small packet of sweets with them in
the exam room. Students should leave any other food or drink in their bag.
4. Identification
Students MUST have some form of photographic identification with them, preferably their student card.
This must be checked during the examination by the invigilators. Students without identification should
be marked as such on the exam envelope. Students without ID should NOT be prevented from taking
the examination.
5. Early departures
For the main exam halls: No candidate may leave the exam room during the FIRST HALF HOUR or
the LAST QUARTER HOUR of their exam.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: No candidate may leave the exam room during the FIRST
HALF HOUR
6. Queries on Exam papers
If it should appear that there is an error on an exam paper, the Invigilator should inform the Exams
Office immediately for the problem to be referred to the examiner responsible for the paper. No
alterations should be made without the examiner’s authority. The Invigilator shall, but only on the
authority of the examiner, announce any alteration or correction in the exam paper. Any alternations
made to the exam papers in the main exams halls will be notified to students in the Alternative Exams
room and vice-versa.
6
7. Attendance cards
For the main exam halls: After the first 30 minutes of the exam the Invigilator should start collecting
the attendance cards (pink cards) from the candidates’ desks and then complete the attendance
register (a green card for each exam, not for each student) which should be attached to the relevant
set of pink cards. Attendance cards should be placed in the exam box at the end of the exam NOT in
the exam packages.
It is acceptable to start collecting pink attendance cards before the first 30 minutes have expired where
the Chief Invigilator suspects that a large number of candidates may leave after the first half hour (e.g.
a multiple choice exam). Care should be taken to ensure that any late arrivals are not omitted.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: After the first 30 minutes of the exam the Invigilator
should start collecting the attendance cards (pink cards) from the candidates’ desks and check them
off against the diary.
8. Seating Plan
For the main exam halls: The Invigilator should then check the name and desk number of each
candidate with the seating plan. The first column of this list should be marked to indicate whether or
not the candidate is present. The second column should be completed to indicate that the student’s
photographic identification has been checked and the final column should be completed when the
Invigilator collects the scripts at the end of the exam.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: There is no pre-set seating plan for these rooms. However,
some candidates will require special furniture and/or equipment that will be available in the Exam room.
This will necessitate these candidates sitting in specific places. Such candidates will be indicated in the
diary provided on the Invigilators desk and this information will also be provided on the student’s
envelope. A blank seating plan is provided and this should be completed by the Chief Invigilator before
the commencement of the exam.
9. Absentees
For the main exam halls: After the first half hour of the exam, the Invigilators should mark on the
seating plans, all absent candidates. The registration numbers (NOT names) of absent candidates
should also be written on the script packet fronts. It is, therefore, essential that the correct information
regarding absent candidates is written on the script packet fronts.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: Candidates who are absent after half an hour of their exam
should have their script packets marked as such.
10. Candidates temporarily leaving the room
Candidates will be allowed to go to toilets. Invigilators should ensure that the candidates leave their
answer books on their desks and should make a note of the desk number and time of leaving and
returning to the room. This information should be marked on the covers of the scripts when these are
collected.
11. Candidates taken ill
The invigilators will inform Chief Invigilators if any candidates are taken ill. Where necessary, Chief
Invigilators should arrange for a first aider to attend (a first aid number is provided in each venue - this
is usually the porter or reception for the relevant building) and should also telephone the Exams Office.
The Exams Office can also arrange for a first aider to attend if the Chief Invigilator has not been able to
do so.
7
12. Information to be written on envelope
For the main exam halls: The Invigilator must note on the envelope the registration number and desk
number of any absentee and those who leave exceptionally early (within the first half of the exam),
so that the examiner also has a record of these. The registration numbers and seat numbers of any
additional candidates must also be written on the packet front.
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms: The exam papers will be supplied in individual packets.
The Invigilator should note on the packet if the student is absent, or leaves exceptionally early (within
the first half of the exam), so that the examiner also has a record of these.
13. Oversight of candidates
Invigilators should give their SOLE ATTENTION to the conduct of the exam. No other activity should
be undertaken during the exam period. Invigilators must maintain oversight of the candidates in the
exam room and are advised to walk quietly around the room from time to time.
Invigilators are not permitted to use mobile devices (i.e. mobile phones, tablets, laptops etc.) unless this
is in fulfilment of their duties as an invigilator. Invigilators must not read newspapers, books, magazines
etc and must not undertake other non-invigilation related tasks such as marking etc.
14. Exam material
Where candidates are permitted to use materials that they bring with them into the exam hall or which
are already there, e.g. books, notes, or tables, this will be explicitly stated in the rubric. However, the
use of calculators and own language (translation to English) dictionaries is permitted in the exams
unless the contrary is clearly specified in the rubric of a question paper. Departments setting papers
where calculators (or dictionaries) are not permitted have been reminded of their responsibility for
making this clear to students and to the Exams Office in advance of the exam. Invigilators must check
all dictionaries for unauthorised notes. A copy of the English Concise dictionary is available on each
invigilator’s desk. Mobile phones, electronic dictionaries, innovative technologies and other
electronic communication devices (including but not limited to smartwatches, Google glass,
mp3 players, Bluetooth headsets etc.) are not permitted within the examination halls. Students
should place any such devices under their chair in the plastic bag provided at the start of the
exam or hand them to an Invigilator, any students subsequently found in possession of such a
device should be reported to the Exams Office after the exam.
Any materials required due to the students’ illness/disability will already have been provided. Students
are responsible for providing their own coloured overlays for exams– spares are not available in
the main Exam Hall. If there is any query as to what is allowed, or should have been provided, call the
Exams Office.
15. Procedure to be followed in case of Cheating
If a candidate is suspected of cheating in an exam, there is a set procedure which MUST BE
FOLLOWED.
(i)
if an invigilator suspects a candidate of cheating, their first action may be to seek a view
from another invigilator. This has the effect of doubling the witnessing of the event.
(ii)
the candidate should be calmly and quietly told that they are suspected of cheating, and
that the matter will be reported to their relevant department. It is the department’s decision
as to whether the matter is referred to the Exam Board, and whether further action is taken
against that candidate. The invigilation team is not entitled to make a decision as to
the seriousness of the case. If cheating is witnessed, the student MUST be
8
challenged, and the full incident MUST be reported. How the matter would then be
taken forward is a matter for the relevant Exam Board.
(iii)
the candidate’s script must be endorsed with a note of the event, giving brief details of
the nature of the occurrence, e.g. “found with extraneous material”, “found to be in
communication with another candidate”. The time of the event must also be given.
(iv)
the candidate should normally be allowed to complete the exam, unless, in the opinion of
the Chief Invigilator, they are causing a disturbance to other candidates.
(v)
Any materials brought into the exam room without permission should be confiscated
immediately and a full written report should be made on the circumstances. A receipt
should be given for any items of value e.g. mobile phones, and this receipt should include
instructions outlining what the candidate needs to do to recover their confiscated item.
(vi)
IMMEDIATELY after the conclusion of the exam, the chief invigilator must report the
full matter to the Exams Officer using the suspected unfair means form (available in
the Exam Hall), and attach any confiscated material at this stage.
(vii)
Invigilators may be asked to give evidence at a subsequent Investigation.
9
SECTION IV: PROCEDURE AT THE END OF THE EXAM
1. End of Exam
After the allotted time, taking into account any delays at the start of the exam, The Chief Invigilator
should announce the end of the exam session and remind candidates to seal the top-right corner
of the anonymous marking answer books. Candidates must leave their answer books on their desks,
but are permitted to take their question papers away with them unless explicitly stated on the exam
paper.
Candidates should also be reminded to make sure they retrieve their mobile phones from under their
chair and to leave the plastic bag on their desk.
For the PC Room: After the student’s allotted exam time, the student should save their work onto
the data pen provided, the Invigilator must then print a hard copy of the work on the Printing
PC, allow the student to check that all the pages have been printed and attach the anonymous
cover sheet.
2. Checking scripts
Invigilators should check the scripts for unsealed corners before placing them in the exam
envelopes.
3. Collecting scripts
For the main exam halls, the following procedure should be followed for the collection of the scripts at
the end of the exam:
(a) If possible, Chief Invigilators should not collect the scripts but should leave this to the
Invigilators to whom the papers have been allocated.
(b) The Invigilators should collect the scripts from the desks and check the scripts with the
seat listings provided (marking column three of the list) as each script is collected. This
should be done carefully but as quickly as possible so that desks may be prepared for the
next exam. Chief Invigilators should ensure that no scripts have been left behind.
(c) All scripts must be accounted for and placed in the correct envelope. Should any
discrepancy occur between the list of candidates marked as present and the scripts collected
an immediate search should be made before the packets are sealed or the desks cleared
and reset for the next exam. The Exams Office should be informed immediately.
(d) When the Invigilators are satisfied that all scripts are accounted for, they should seal the
packets. The scripts will be sealed in their envelopes and returned by the Invigilators to the
Chief Invigilators. (Attendance cards should not be put into these packets).Chief Invigilators
should ensure that all absences and additional candidates have been clearly marked, using
Student Numbers NOT names, on the envelope by checking these against the attendance
list, check these sealed packets against the list of exams held that session and sign the
list. They should indicate on the list the number of envelopes returned for each exam paper.
Additional envelopes must be clearly labelled with the module number and the seat numbers
in the packet.
(e) The packets of completed scripts, the pink and green cards, and the envelope containing the
marked-up seat listings should be placed in the wooden box provided. There is one box in
each of the Sports Hall and Studio, one box in Staff House – Lindsey Suite and one in the
Ferens Building. Once all materials are in the box, lock it with the padlock provided - it will be
collected shortly after the end of the exam.
10
For Alternative Exam Rooms and PC rooms, the invigilator should collect the scripts from the students
and check these with the list provided. All scripts must be accounted for and placed in the correct
envelope. Should any discrepancy be found, an immediate search should be made before the
packets are sealed and the desks cleared and prepared for the next exam. If the problem is not
resolved, Robin Thompson or the Exams Office should be informed immediately. When the Invigilator
is satisfied that all scripts are accounted for, he/she should seal the packets. Each individual packet
should then be signed by the Invigilator and they should all be returned immediately to the Exams
Office (2nd floor University House) by the Invigilator
Students are permitted to take their question paper out of the exam room when they have finished
unless the rubric states otherwise.
4. Clearing up and setting up for the next session
Once all the above tasks have been completed, Invigilators should prepare the exam hall for the next
session. For the main exam halls this will specifically involve:
a) Removing the seating plans at the entrances to the exam hall and replacing them with the
seating plans for the next session.
b) Ensuring that each desk has the required answer books, a pink card and a plastic bag (and any
other materials) for the next session, in accordance with the list provided by the Examinations
Office.
c) Invigilators are requested to ensure that their desks are left clean and tidy ready for the next
examination session.
Invigilators are requested to deal with circumstances not covered by these notes as they see fit,
bearing in mind both the requirements of a formal exam and the necessity for ensuring the best
possible conditions for candidates.
11
SECTION V : EMERGENCY REGULATIONS
Should an emergency situation arise during the exam which warrants evacuation of the premises, the
fire alarm will activate (the sound is a persistent electronic warble type or siren noise). The Chief
invigilator should ask candidates to leave the premises immediately. Candidates have to STOP what
they are doing, LEAVE their answer books, papers and possessions on their desks and LEAVE the
premises via the marked fire exit doorways provided. (Invigilators should point these out to candidates).
All students are to assemble at the recognised assembly points (see Fire Action Notice at Chief
Invigilator’s desk) where a roll call will be taken. Re-entry will only be permitted after approval has
been given by either the Fire Brigade or Safety Office staff.
A copy of the Fire Action Notice for each building used as Exam Halls upon which is identified the
designated assembly point(s) will be placed near the Chief Invigilator’s desk.
Should an emergency occur which warrants evacuation, invigilators are to assist in the evacuation and
roll call. The result of the roll call are to be passed on to the duty Safety Officer attending the incident.
