Any behaviour that undermines the University's ability to evaluate fairly students' academic achievements, or any behaviour that a student knew, or reasonably ought to have known, could gain them or others unearned academic advantage or benefit, counts as academic misconduct (Policy 60: Academic Integrity). The range of penalties include a zero on the exam, an “F” in the course and/or expulsion from the University. All findings of misconduct will include a Disciplinary Notation on your internal academic record. You are responsible for being familiar with the Academic Integrity Policy. For more information, please visit the Academic Integrity Office website.

Guidelines for proper conduct in exams, and penalties for misconduct are listed in the Examination Policy, Academic Integrity Policy, and the Student Code of Non-Academic Conduct. It is your responsibility to read and understand them. See below for specific exam procedures.

For detailed information, including how to book your exam, visit the Test or Exam with Accommodation website. 

If you are unable to write an exam due to illness or a personal/family emergency, you must notify your instructor and your program department by telephone or e-mail as soon as possible but no later than 72 hours from the start of the exam. You must provide your instructor and your program department with a completed Student Medical Certificate within 72 hours from the start of the missed exam.

As a pilot at the Mattamy Athletics Centre this year, you can keep your bag under your desk, your coat on the back of your chair, and wear your hat (baseball hats backwards), subject to discretion and inspection. Your watch must go in your bag.

Your professor may have different rules for exams held in classroom on campus, so security bags for your valuables will be available on campus, in case they would like you to keep your bags at the front of the room.

The University takes reasonable steps to minimize the risk of students' personal items being lost or stolen; however, we cannot guarantee that no loss will occur and are not responsible if it happens despite those reasonable steps. Students are advised to take advantage of the measures available to them to safeguard their belongings.

You MUST bring your OneCard for your exam. If you have lost or forgotten it:

• After business hours, you can use a government-issued photo ID card (health card, drivers licence, passport).
• After business hours, if you have NO identification, it is up to the professor if you can write the exam.  They may allow you to write it conditionally, for example, provided you bring them your ID within 72 hours.
• If you have lost your OneCard, you can obtain a replacement for a fee:

Final examinations for courses offered through The Chang School are held in the last class of the semester in the regularly scheduled classroom. Chang School students are expected to be familiar with and comply with all Ryerson University examination policies and procedures, including presentation of photo identification, academic integrity standards, and the Student Code of Conduct.

1. Alternate Locations and Dates:
   In the event of a disruption of a final exam, The Chang School will have assigned each class either:

an alternate exam location where students will complete the interrupted exam. However, if the instructor determines that a new exam must be written, students will be advised to return on an alternate exam date.

or

an alternate exam date when students will return to a designated classroom to write a new exam. This alternate exam date is necessary because, in the event of a disruption, it is not possible to relocate all exams being written on that night.

2. Procedures for Disruption of a Chang School Exam that has Commenced:
   Exams may be disrupted by one of the following events and Instructors/invigilators should refer to the appropriate evacuation procedures:
   • fire alarm: A fire alarm results in immediate evacuation of the building. If Security determines that the alarm is false, students and instructors/invigilators may re-enter the building and complete the exam. This disruption may take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. If Security advises that the building cannot be re-entered after a fire alarm, students will be advised to either go immediately to the assigned alternate exam location to complete the exam or return on the assigned alternate exam date to write a new exam.
   • building evacuation: In the event it becomes necessary to evacuate a building, Security will go from room to room advising instructors/invigilators to evacuate. The instructor/invigilator will either advise students to go immediately to the assigned alternate exam location to complete the exam or return on the assigned alternate exam date to write a new exam. This relocation may take approximately 30 to 45 minutes.  
3. Communication to Students:
   If information regarding a re-scheduled exam is not available at the time of a building evacuation, as soon as the information is available from the Chang School regarding the rescheduling of the exam session (day, date, time, room), probably by the following business day, the information will be added to the Chang School website, www.ryerson.ca/ce.  If the information does not appear by the next business day, students may contact the Chang School general telephone number at 416-979-5035.
