myExams platform (answer scripts must not be password protected or uploaded as “read-only”
files).

answer script file has been uploaded.

5. Incorrect file format and uncollated answer scripts will not be considered.
6. Incorrect answer scripts and/or submissions made on unofficial examination platforms (including the

, lOMoAR cPSD| 62047580
opportunity for resubmission will be granted.
8. A mark awarded for illegible scanned submission will be the student’s final mark. No opportunity
for resubmission will be granted.
9. Only the last file uploaded and submitted will be marked.
10. Submissions will only be accepted from registered student accounts.
11. Students who have not utilised invigilation or proctoring tools will be deemed to have
transgressed Unisa’s examination rules and will have their marks withheld If a student is found
to have been outside the invigilator app for a total of 10 minutes during their examination session,
they will be considered to have violated Unisa's examination rules and their marks will be
withheld.
12. You must complete the online declaration of your work when submitting. Students suspected of
dishonest conduct during the examinations will be subjected to disciplinary processes. Students
may not communicate with any other person or request assistance from any other person during
their examinations. Plagiarism is a violation of academic integrity and students who plagiarise,
copy from published work or Artificial Intelligence Software (eg ChatGPT) or online sources
(eg course material), will be in violation of the Policy on Academic Integrity and the Student
Disciplinary Code and may be referred to a disciplinary hearing. Unisa has a zero tolerance for
plagiarism and/or any other forms of academic dishonesty.
13. Listening to audio (music) and making use of audio-to-text software is strictly prohibited during
your examination session unless such usage of the software is related to a student’s assistive
device which has been so declared. Failure to do so will be a transgression of Unisa’s examination
rules and the student's marks will be withheld.
14. You are provided with 30 minutes to submit your answer scripts after the official examination
time. If you experience technical challenges, you should report to the SCSC on 080 000 1870 or
their College exam support centers (refer to the Get help during the examinations by contacting
the Student Communication Service Centre (unisa.ac.za)) within 30 minutes. Queries received
after one hour of the official examination duration time will not be responded to. Submissions
made after the official examination time will be rejected by the examination regulations and will
not be marked.
15. Non-adherence to the processes for uploading examination responses will not qualify the student
for any special concessions or future assessments.
17. Queries that are beyond Unisa’s control include the following:
a. Personal network or service provider issues
b. Load shedding/limited space on personal computer
c. Crashed computer
d. Non-functioning cameras or web cameras
e. Using work computers that block access to the myExams site (employer firewall
challenges)
f. Unlicensed software (eg license expires during exams)
Students experiencing technical challenges should contact the SCSC on 080 000 1870 or via e-mail at
