Things to keep in mind about taking your exams online
The rules for taking your exams online is just like any other exam – do not attempt to deceive, copy the work of others, or try to trick the proctor. If you are caught doing any of these things, your exam may be disqualified, and you might be suspended from taking online exams.
Take your exam seriously! You need to pass it in order to complete the course. But don’t stress too much! It’s just an exam. If you’ve prepared well, there’s no reason for you to not pass successfully.
Use the flexibility to your benefit: take the exam in the most comfortable set-up you have. Wear comfy clothes, have water and snacks ready, and pick a quiet location where you can set up your equipment with ease, without being disturbed.
Though the dates are flexible, you’ll need to take the exam in one of the available time slots. That means that, sometimes, the time of the exam won’t be 100% ideal for you. We try to make as many slots as possible available.
Make sure your equipment is working properly before you start the exam. If the exam is interrupted due to a technical issue on your end, it may be disqualified and not be graded.
What happens if your internet connection is interrupted in the middle of an exam? Reach out to the exams office within 24 hours and notify them of the situation. The team will work with you to find a solution.
Get the best of both worlds with blended learning: flexibility and learning with others. Attend tutorials on campus 2-3 days a week and study independently online whenever you want. Study in the heart of Europe in a buzzing international campus, and choose from dozens of career-focused degrees.
