Aligned with tightening examination processes to ensure academic integrity, students will now be given 30 minutes to upload their answer scripts for their written examinations on the official myExams platform and have only one submission opportunity for multiple-choice question examinations.
Listening to audio (music) and utilising audio-to-text software has been strictly prohibited during your examination session, unless the use of the software is related to a student’s assistive device which has been declared. Listening to music, utilising such software and/or failing to declare the software is a transgression of Unisa’s examination rules and the student's marks will be withheld.
The use of Artificial Intelligence software (ChatGPT, etc.) and online sources (Course Material) during your online examination session is strictly prohibited.
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.
Any proctoring or invigilation images found to be unrecognizable, obscured, faint or not containing a full facial image will be deemed a transgression of Unisa's examination rule, and students’ marks will be withheld.
Students who are differently abled, have a disability or who are incarcerated are exempted from using proctoring tools. Only students who have declared their disability with supporting documentation (doctor's note indicating disability and the additional time that will be required for the completion of examination) during registration will be exempted. Students who have not so declared may provide the declaration (doctor's note indicating disability and the additional time that will be required for the completion of examination) to examdisability@unisa.ac.za 7 days prior to their examination sitting for processing of their exemption. Incarcerated students are advised to submit their proof of incarceration to Proctoringenquiries@unisa.ac.za 7 days prior to their examination sitting for processing of their exemption.
Students who are negatively affected by their examination scheduling on religious/holy days are requested to apply for alternative examination arrangements. A student's religious organisation must communicate directly with Unisa on a letterhead informing Unisa of (1) Name, Surname and Student Number of the enrolled member of the religious organisation; (2) Module code affected by examination scheduling (dates of religious days) on the holy day; (3) Nature of Objection. The letter should be sent to religiousstudents@unisa.ac.za 7 days prior to the examination sitting for processing. Letters directly received from students will not be processed.
