Recordings

Recordings of your exam are kept by ProctorU for later review. If a proctor detects an unusual event during the course of your exam, CITL will be notified. CITL staff and/or instructors will review the recording of your exam if required, to determine if there is an issue with academic dishonesty. The ultimate decision regarding an possible infraction resides with the instructor, just as it would be in a face-to-face invigilation situation.
