Examination Protocols
• Be punctual. Arrive at least 5 min prior to start time. Check rooming.
• Students are not permitted to leave an examination early.
• It is the responsibility of each student to bring the required equipment into the examination room. The
sharing of items will not be permitted.
• Students deemed to not have made a serious attempt at any paper will receive an N-Determination
Warning. This may compromise a student’s eligibility for the completion of a course.
• Any student not attending the examination as scheduled must call the College at least 1 hour prior to
the start of an examination. Applications for misadventure will be considered on their merit. A medical
certificate will be required in most cases ie for illness. This certificate must be submitted to the College
no later than the next school day. A misadventure form signed by the student and parent/guardian is
required in all cases and is available on the College website.
