Examination Regulations and Procedures

All candidates must comply with CNC examination regulations and procedures. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the examination. The candidate may be liable for disciplinary action.

  1. Strict adherence to independent work will be maintained. There will be no communication with anyone other than an invigilator or an instructor during the examination.
    Cell phones and other electronic devices are not permitted at your desk. These items should not be brought with you. Items left at the front of the gym are not supervised and you do so at your own risk.
  2. There must be no evidence of academic misconduct, such as the transcription of information from any unauthorized source.
    Do not bring cell phones, book bags, backpacks, purses, etc. These items should not be brought with you. Items left at the front of the gym are not supervised and you do so at your own risk.
  3. Candidates will not be admitted after one-half hour of the examination time has passed.
  4. Candidates are not permitted to leave the examination during the first thirty-five (35) minutes or the last fifteen (15) minutes of the examination.
  5. Candidates are not permitted to use calculators, computer equipment or audio-visual devices with greater capabilities than those specified by the instructor of the course. Please bring only the items the instructor has asked you to bring.
  6. Photographic identification is required. A valid CNC student card, B.C. Driver’s License or an acceptable equivalent must be produced and placed on the corner of your desk.
  7. Smoking or other breaks during the examination are strictly prohibited.
  8. Candidates may not bring into the examination any food or drink that has not been authorized by a physician. Prior discussion with the instructor is advised. Exam tables need to be left in clean condition.
  9. All courses and sections are marked with a sign at the front of each row. You must sit in the correct row to receive the correct examination.
  10. If questions arise, candidates will raise their hands and instructors will come to the tables. To receive more paper, candidates should hold up an examination booklet.
  11. Completed examinations must be given to the candidate’s instructor.
  12. Any candidate who is ill or suffering from a severe domestic affliction is advised not to sit for an examination. A candidate who has missed an examination because of illness or domestic affliction or who is obliged to be absent from an examination for some other compelling reason (including religious convictions) may apply for a deferred final examination. Documentation pertaining to such an absence must be submitted to the Division Dean within 48 hours. A decision will then be made. When a candidate is absent from an examination without acceptable excuse, a final grade will be computed using a raw score of zero for that examination.
  13. Candidates who become ill or receive word of domestic affliction during the course of an examination, should report to their instructor at once and hand in their papers requesting cancellation. The candidate must report to their Division Dean within the next 48 hours to outline the situation. The Dean will make a final decision at this time.
