Only submit work that is your own

• Your work must be your own. If your answers in a test or examination are developed with another student or students, a friend, family member or any third party, you are in breach of academic-integrity expectations.
• Any ideas or information in your assessment that are not your own must be referenced  (including information taken from lecture slides and notes).
  

Make sure you have good note-taking practices

• When taking lecture notes, record the source of the information you are noting. This will allow you to reference your source, including lecture slides and other resources provided by your teachers, if you use that material during your test or exam.
• Make sure you put the information in your own words, or clearly mark it if your notes are a direct quote from a source.
• It is NOT appropriate (and will be considered plagiarism) to reproduce or copy material provided by your teachers, including lecture slides and/or notes.

Check which resources you may use in your exam

• Most final online exams will be open-book. Make sure you are 100 per cent clear on which resources you may refer to and use in each of your courses before you sit your online test or exam. For more information, please see Open book exams.
• If in doubt, discuss this with your lecturer or course director before your test or examination.

Respect the integrity of the test or examination 

• A lot of work goes in to developing test or examination questions that assess your understanding and application of the knowledge you have been taught. The integrity of your learning and your degree is undermined when students do not respect the integrity of a test or examination. Copying, reproducing or sharing test or examination questions is completely unacceptable in the digital environment; just as it is with an in-person, paper-based examination.
  

* The information above was adopted from the University of Melbourne’s academic-integrity advice for online examinations, in combination with existing University of Auckland advice.

Dishonesty is risky behaviour 

When you’re struggling, acting dishonestly may seem like a quick and easy way out. But it isn’t. When you are found out, the consequences of academic misconduct can be very serious and could include loss of marks or failing the course.

Acting dishonestly in your work means you undermine your learning, and it isn’t fair to other students.

Please ask for help if you need it. Lecturers, course staff, University support services, and student-led groups can all assist.

For more information about the resources available to you, please see Student support.

As mode B exams are invigilated online through Inspera's Integrity Browser (IIB), additional instructions must be followed to maintain academic integrity.

Maintain visibility

You must remain within clear view of your webcam throughout the exam. You must position your camera so that the viewing angle captures your entire face and your shoulders.

Before starting your exam, you can review the webcam's viewing angle while you present your ID. During this time, you must ensure you are seated somewhere comfortable and in a position in which you can remain within clear view of the camera throughout the exam.

IIB footage will automatically flag any time your position changes significantly. Assessment Services will review these flags manually, and if you are deemed to be avoiding invigilation measures, you will be investigated for breaching academic integrity.

Additional digital devices

You cannot use additional devices or monitors during mode B exams. If you use a laptop, you must only use the built-in screen or a single external monitor with the lid closed. Only one monitor is permitted for those using a desktop computer.

All work, including accessing notes or source material (in open-book and restricted-book exams), must be done on the device you use to take the exam. This is to ensure the source of your work is captured by IIB.

The only exception is during exams where you must provide a handwritten file-upload component. In this case, a phone or tablet may be used to take a photo of your work for upload.
