EXAMINATION REGULATIONS
 

1. All examination rooms must be completely vacated one half hour prior to the scheduled time for the examination. Thereafter, students may only enter the examination room when the proctor so indicates.

2. There shall be no materials of any kind in the examination area during CLOSED BOOK examinations. Students taking LIMITED OPEN BOOK examinations will be allowed to bring in only those materials specifically authorized by the professor. Students must leave their personal belongings in the front of the room in the area designated by the proctor. Students may not return to their personal belongings while the examination is in process, except under the direct supervision of the proctor.

3. UPON ENTERING THE EXAMINATION ROOM, EACH STUDENT MUST PRESENT HIS OR HER STUDENT IDENTIFICATION CARD AND EXAMINATION NUMBER TO THE PROCTOR IN ORDER TO RECEIVE HIS OR HER SEALED EXAMINATION ANSWER BOOK. THE EXAMINATION ANSWER BOOK MUST REMAIN SEALED UNTIL THE PROCTOR ANNOUNCES THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE EXAMINATION. WRITING ON THE EXAMINATION ANSWER BOOKLET PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE EXAMINATION IS NOT PERMITTED.

4. Each student's identification card must be visible during the course of the examination.

5. Students will receive only one examination answer book, and will be required to fully complete the assigned book before requesting supplemental writing material. Students will not be allowed additional writing material for outlining purposes. Students should use the available space on the examination or in the examination answer book for outlining. The proctor must determine that all available space has been used in the assigned examination book before additional material will be issued.

6. Since the examination process is anonymous, students shall not identify themselves to the Professor in any manner whatsoever in the examination book.

7. Students shall not remove pages or portions thereof from the examination questions, the examination answer book, or from any supplemental materials handed out by the proctor.

8. Students are requested to consider and respect the rights of others and to avoid any actions which would be distracting to others during the examinations.

9. When the proctor announces the commencement of the examination, no student shall speak or communicate in any way with another student. Students shall not communicate with each other until after they have left the examination room at the conclusion of the examination.

10. Students shall not leave the room during the examination without prior permission of the proctor. Only ONE student is permitted to leave the examination room at a time and must sign out and in. The student must give all of his or her materials to the proctor upon leaving the room. The materials will be returned by the proctor to the student upon reentering the examination room.

11. When a student completes his or her examination, the student must return the examination questions, the examination answer book and supplementary writing materials, handouts, answer sheets, examination cards and all materials distributed during the examination.

12. Upon completion of the examination and recording by the proctor, the student shall immediately depart the examination area and shall not return until the examination process has been completed by the proctor and the room is cleared of all examinees.

13. NO STUDENT, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE COMPLETED THE EXAMINATION, WILL BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE ROOM DURING THE LAST TEN MINUTES OF THE EXAMINATION.

14. ONCE THE PROCTOR ANNOUNCES THAT THE EXAMINATION HAS ENDED, ALL REMAINING STUDENTS MUST STOP WRITING AND REMAIN SEATED. THE PROCTOR WILL THEN INFORM THE STUDENTS WHEN THEY MAY APPROACH THE DESK TO SUBMIT THEIR EXAMINATION MATERIALS.

15. It is the student's responsibility to see that the aforementioned materials are recorded by the proctor.
