Online examination rules
Students are expected to familiarise themselves with the online examination rules before
they commence with their examinations.
For file upload/take-home examinations
1. Students must upload their answer scripts in a single PDF file on the official myExams
platform (answer scripts must not be password protected or uploaded as "read-only" files).
2. NO e-mailed scripts will be accepted.
3. Students are advised to preview submissions (answer scripts) to ensure legibility and
also to ensure that the correct answer script file has been uploaded.
4. Students are permitted to resubmit their answer scripts within the stipulated
submission duration, should their initial submission be unsatisfactory.
5. Uncollated answer scripts and scripts with an incorrect file format will not be
considered.
6. Wrong answer files that are uploaded (i.e. any file other than the exam answer script)
will not be marked and no opportunity will be granted for resubmission.
7. A mark awarded for an incomplete submission will be the student’s final mark. No
opportunity for resubmission will be granted.
,8. A mark awarded for an illegible scanned submission will be the student’s final mark.
No opportunity for resubmission will be granted.
9. Only the last answer file uploaded within the stipulated submission duration period
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. For examinations which use the IRIS invigilation system, IRIS
must be recording throughout the duration of the examination until the submission of the
examinations script.
13. Students must complete the online declaration of their 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.
14. 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.
15. Students are provided 30 minutes to submit their answer scripts after the official
examination time. Students who experience technical challenges should report the challenges
to the SCSC on 080 000 1870 or their College exam support centres (refer to the Get help
during the examinations by contacting the Student Communication Service Centre
[unisa.ac.za]) within 30 minutes. Queries received after 30 minutes of the official
examination duration time will not be responded to. Submissions made after the official
examination time will be rejected according to the examination regulations and will not be
marked.
16. 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)
Postgraduate students experiencing the above challenges are advised to apply for an aegrotat
and submit supporting evidence within ten days of the examination session. Students will not
be able to apply for an aegrotat for a third examination opportunity.
Postgraduate/undergraduate students experiencing the above challenges in their second
examination opportunity will have to reregister for the affected module.
