is available for activation 15 minutes before the start of the examination and 30 minutes after the official
start of the examination. Students who fail to activate the QR code within the available 45 minutes will
be deemed not to have utilised the invigilation or proctoring tools and will have their final marks withheld.
12. Students have 48 hours from the day of their examination to upload their invigilator results from the
Invigilator app. Failure to do so will result in students being deemed not to have participated in the
online invigilation.
13. Students must complete the online declaration of their work when submitting their examination script.
Students suspected of dishonest conduct during the examinations will be subjected to disciplinary
processes. Students may not communicate with any other person or request assistance from any other
person during their examinations. The use of Telegram, WhatsApp or any other instant messaging
services with any other person (except when asking for technical assistance via official channels of the
SCSC or the Invigilator WhatsApp line) is strictly prohibited. Plagiarism is a violation of academic
integrity, and students who plagiarise, copy from published work or use Artificial Intelligence software
(e.g., ChatGPT) or online sources (e.g., course material) will be in violation of the “Policy on Academic
Integrity” and the “Student Disciplinary Code”, and may be referred to a disciplinary hearing. Unisa has
zero tolerance for plagiarism and/or other forms of academic dishonesty.
14. Listening to audio (music) and using audio-to-text software is strictly prohibited during your examination
session, unless such software usage is related to a student’s assistive device, which has been so
declared. Failure to do so will be a transgression of Unisa’s examination rules, and the student’s marks
will be withheld.
15. Students who are differently abled, have a disability or are incarcerated are exempted from using
proctoring tools. Only students who have declared their disability with supporting documentation
(doctor’s note indicating disability and the additional time that will be required for the completion of
examination) during registration will be exempted. Students who have not so declared may provide the
declaration (doctor’s note indicating disability and the additional time that will be required for the
completion of examination) to examdisability@unisa.ac.za, 7 days prior to their examination sitting, for

surname and student number of the enrolled member of the religious organisation; (2) the module code
affected by examination scheduling (dates of religious days) on the holy day; and (3) the nature of
objection. The letter should be sent to religiousstudents@unisa.ac.za, 7 days prior to the examination
sitting, for processing. Letters directly received from students will not be processed.
17. Students are given 30 minutes to submit their answer scripts after the official examination. Students
who experience technical challenges should report the challenges immediately to the SCSC,
telephonically, on 080 000 1870 and choose option 4 for exams, or their College exam support centres
(refer to Get-Help during the examinations by contacting the Student Communication Service Centre
[unisa.ac.za]) within 30 minutes. Queries received after 30 minutes of the official examination duration
time will not be responded to. Submissions made after the official examination time will be rejected,
according to the examination regulations, and will not be marked. Only communication received from
your myLife account will be considered.
18. Non-adherence to the processes for uploading examination responses will not qualify the student for
any special concessions or future assessments.

ii. Load shedding/limited space on a personal computer
iii. Crashed computer
iv. Non-functioning cameras or web cameras

vi. Unlicensed software (e.g., license expires during exams)
Students experiencing the above challenges are advised to apply for an aegrotat and should submit
