8.14 POLICY FOR UNFAIR MEANS (CHEATING) DURING EXAMINATION
The university operates a zero tolerance policy in relation to cheating or any unfair mean in
examinations whether theory or practical. The penalties for cheating are severe and are
described as follows
Taking unauthorized material into an exam: This will be regarded as attempted
deception. Unauthorized material includes any notes/documents on your person and non-
permitted equipment/devices (e.g. a prohibited model of calculator or an ipod or
cellphone). If after the exam has started it is discovered that you have unauthorized
material in your possession, including any information written on a part of your body or
on clothing, it will automatically be assumed that cheating has taken place.
The consequence will be immediate cancellation of paper with the award of a mark of
zero for the paper affected as the minimum penalty or cancellation of whole semester
papers along with fine or other penalty as maximum.
Talking or communicating with another student during an exam: You are not
allowed to talk or communicate in any way with another student whilst you are in the
exam room. Talking or communicating with another student during an exam may result
in you receiving a deduction in marks or confiscating paper immediately.
