IMPORTANT NOTES FOR EXAMINATION
CANDIDATES.
You must read the Cork Institute of Technology Examination Code of Conduct before your examinations.
MOBILE PHONES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE EXAMINATION HALLS.
You must not leave your bag or other personal belongings in the corridor or outside the Examination Hall for Health and Safety and security reasons.
You are advised not to bring valuables to CIT during your examinations. A cloakroom will be available on the day, where you can hand in personal belongings, including your mobile phone, iPod etc.
It is essential to check your examination seat number before each examination. These numbers will be shown on your examination timetable a week before the examination start date, at http://examtimetables.cit.ie Seat numbers will also be posted outside the Examination Hall before the examination session.
If for some reason your name is not on the list of seat numbers posted outside the exam hall, you should speak to an invigilator. You will then normally be assigned a seat. Any delay in your examination start-time will normally be compensated for at the end of the examination.
Ensure that you bring your student ID to the exam and place on the top right- hand corner of your desk for the invigilator’s attention.
In general, extenuating circumstances which may impact on your examination performance, together with appropriate evidence such as a medical certificate, must be notified in good time to your Head of Department so that these can form part of the deliberations of the appropriate Module Examination Board meeting or Progression and Awards Board meeting. Accordingly, late submission of evidence
relating to extenuating circumstances will not normally be admitted as grounds for a subsequent appeal.
If you are entitled to examination supports, such as a separate centre, scribe or reader, you will be able to see your separate examination centre on your examination timetable a week before your examination start date. If at this point, your timetable does not show your separate centre allocation, please contact [email protected] immediately.
If you are a student whose first language is not English, you may be entitled to the use of a dictionary in your examinations. See the CIT examination website at http://exams.cit.ie for further information on this.
You are not allowed to bring any books, notes or written material of any kind into the Examination Hall without the permission of the invigilator.
It is advisable not to bring a pencil case with you to the Examination Hall. However, if you do bring a pencil case with you, this may be examined by the invigilator. MAKE SURE THAT ANY PENS, RULERS, OR CALCULATOR YOU BRING INTO THE HALL HAVE NOTHING WRITTEN ON THEM
Checks for unauthorised material will be carried out during the examinations – your desk may be checked or you may be asked to empty your pockets.
It is the responsibility of each candidate to ensure that he or she is answering the correct paper. Check that the correct course code, module title and lecturer name is shown on your examination paper.
If you have any query about your examination paper, you should bring this to the attention of an invigilator immediately.
If you feel unwell during the examination, you should call an invigilator.
After you have finished your examination, you must hand up all examination material to the invigilator. If you are required to answer part or all of a question directly onto the examination paper, you must ensure that you also hand up this material.
