Procedures following Examination Termination/Invalidation

If an examination is terminated or invalidated, for example in case of compromised examination integrity, for the whole class, or for a specified cohort, e.g.in a specific examination venue, the Course Director, in consultation with the Assessments Review Committee and the Senior Associate Dean of Basic Sciences will meet with representatives of Examination Services. During this meeting, the situation is analyzed and a plan of action is developed.

As one of the possible outcomes of this meeting, the Assistant Dean of Basic Sciences responsible for scheduling may be charged to call a scheduling meeting to discuss the re-scheduling of the examination, including the stakeholders relevant to the scheduling of the particular examination, including the Course Director and two members of the Student Government Association (SGA) to re-schedule the examination for the affected student cohorts.

In case the School of Medicine is unable to deliver a rescheduled examination during the term, it is at the discretion of the Senior Associate Dean of Basic Sciences to develop an alternative plan.

Students will be informed of the date and time of the rescheduled examination, or the decision to determine the course grades without the missing examination, no later than 7 days after the originally scheduled examination, via the usual communication pathways, including the electronic course management system.

In case an examination is terminated for a single student, or a small number of students, these students will have to take the completion examination at the date published in the official Academic Class Schedule.
