Open Book Exam: You may have and refer to any books and printouts of notes you bring into the exam room; however, you may not share materials during the examination and, unless specifically authorized by the professor in the exam instructions, you may not use electronic devices or access notes or outlines on a computer’s hard drive or the Internet. Limited Material Exam: You may have and refer to only those materials expressly authorized by the professor and identified in the exam instructions. Closed Book Exam: You have no access to outside materials. All books, notes, outlines, coats, briefcases and other materials must be removed from the desk area and placed to the front, sides, or back of the room. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR LAPTOP USERS: In exams where the professor permits students to access information on their hard drives or the Internet, students are prohibited from cutting and pasting prewritten text into their exam answers. You must save your exam responses throughout the exam. There is no feature that automatically saves documents. Laptop users are asked to enable the AutoRecover feature. This feature is designed to perform an emergency backup of open documents when an error occurs that causes your computer to stop responding. The AutoRecover feature is NOT a substitute for saving. If you plan to write your exam responses in longhand, you are required to access and complete the form available through the link below. Once you have logged into the form, select your courses. Handwriting registration should be made at least 24 hours before the exam start time in order to ensure availability. A handwriting room cannot be guaranteed for last minute requests. Laptops are not allowed in handwriting rooms. If you wish to use your laptop to access notes or outlines on your hard drive or the Internet, you must handwrite your exam in the laptop room. Please note that exam books are always provided in every laptop room and that handwriting registration is not necessary to handwrite an exam in the laptop room. Required: Handwriting Room Registration Form Student Disciplinary Code Violations After an examination has commenced, any questions or other communications about this examination must be directed in the first instance to the Office of the Registrar, which will then take appropriate action. Under no circumstances may a student initiate communication with the course professor(s) about the examination (including anonymous communications) until grades are posted. Such conduct is prohibited by the Student Disciplinary Code as “unauthorized breach of anonymity in connection with a blind-graded examination.” A violation of this rule will be referred to the Ethics Counsel and will be treated as a violation of the Student Disciplinary Code. The Registrar will take care of contacting the professor and providing the response. This both protects your anonymity and enables the Registrar to ensure that exam questions are handled in a consistent manner. In addition, do not communicate with any student about the exam until the final grades have been posted (ibid).
