Sitting an assessment remotely: changes to eligibility criteria
If you're sitting an on-campus eExam, read on
As we approach exam time, we thought we’d let you know about some changes the University has made to the rules. If you have an upcoming on-campus eExam that you were hoping to sit remotely, please pay close attention to the details below.
As a general rule, on-campus eExams must be taken in person at the designated venue on campus. This means that you are no longer allowed to elect to take such an exam remotely, from home, overseas or elsewhere, unless it's for the following reasons:
-
participating in a Monash-facilitated program overseas at the time of your scheduled final assessment (e.g. GIG, Monash Global Campus Intensives)
-
participating in mandatory military service at the time of your scheduled final assessment (supporting documentation required).
Unfortunately, this means that illness (including COVID-19) and travel plans will not be considered as valid reasons to sit an exam remotely. While we know that illness is outside of your control, we strongly advise that you not make arrangements to travel until your assessment period is over.
If you are a student registered with the DSS, please speak to your Disability Advisor if you think you may need to sit your exam remotely.
The rules for sitting off-campus exams haven’t changed. You can read more about that here.
