Students must provide a valid form of government-issued photo identification or an Athabasca University Student ID card to the invigilator.
In exceptional circumstances, if a student needs to request an alternative exam write date and/or time, they must submit an appeal through the Office of the Registrar Online Appeals Form with the potential new date and/or time and the reason for the change. Alternative dates or times may not be available.
If a student requests a supplemental exam for a midterm or final exam, they must follow the rules and processes outlined for an individualized study examination, including obtaining their own invigilator and following the applicable deadlines. Grouped study instructors are not responsible for invigilating supplemental exams.
See the Undergraduate Lost Exam Policy for specific regulations that pertain to lost exams.
All grouped study, instructor-prepared exams must be pre-approved by the Course Coordinator and formatted to University standards.
The grouped study instructor will invigilate all scheduled exams (i.e. midterm and final exams) for the course. If a grouped study instructor cannot invigilate a scheduled exam, they must email the request to the Examinations Services with as much notice as possible prior to the scheduled exam write date. Alternative on-site invigilators must be approved by the Coordinator of Examination Services. A record of the request and change of invigilator must be included in the Grouped Study Evaluation Scheme/Exam Form.
All appeals to requesting and completing grouped study examinations must be made using the Office of the Registrar Online Appeals Form. The Appeals Officer, designated by the Registrar, has the final authority on all appeals. If the Appeals Officer has received an appeal in error, it will be redirected accordingly.
All decisions on appeals will be communicated in writing to the Appellant.
