Compromised Integrity of an Examination

If the integrity of an examination has been compromised, for example if there has been a breach in examination security and students were able to get access to an examination or its elements prior to the delivery date, the originally scheduled delivery of the examination will be abandoned.

In cases where a breach of examination security comes to light after the examination has already been delivered, but the scores have not become final, which is two weeks after the examination, such a compromised examination can be invalidated by the Course Director in consultation with the Assessment Review Committee and following the approval of the relevant Senior Associate Dean. This requires a re-scheduling of the examination within the term or at the scheduled completion date.
