The Online Invigilation Policy covers how online invigilation will be conducted, what you need to do before, during and after your exam, and what you should do if you experience any issues while completing your invigilated exam.
It also outlines how you should make us aware of any additional requirements or arrangements you need during your exam so that we can put these in place. It should be read as an additional policy that applies to exams alongside the standard Exam Policy.
Please note that only a small number of remote exams are invigilated and this will be made clear in the module description when you register for a module with an invigilated exam and be clearly outlined on your module website once you have commenced the module. If the module description and module website do not mention invigilation then this policy does not apply to your exam and you should refer to the Exam Policy.
