Introduction

1 In this document 'we', 'our' and 'us' refer to Sheffield Hallam University. 'You' and 'your' refer to students at Sheffield Hallam University.

2 This policy applies to all programmes that we offer, except where they are specifically modified to meet Professional, Statutory or Regulatory Body (PSRB) requirements. Modifications require the specific consent of the Head of Registry Operations or nominee.

3 We reserve the right to make reasonable changes to this policy where we believe it will assist in the proper and fair delivery and examination of education. These changes will normally come into effect at the beginning of an academic year. We also reserve the right to introduce changes during the academic year when we reasonably consider it to be in the interests of students or required by law and will take reasonable steps to minimise disruption to students from any changes.

4 We believe strongly in the importance of academic integrity and take any breaches of academic conduct very seriously. If your behaviour or actions within an examination contravene the expected conduct outlined in this policy you may be investigated for 'cheating' in line with the Academic Conduct Regulation. For the avoidance of doubt, you are not permitted to communicate with or disturb any other candidate during an in person examination. It should be noted that invigilators are empowered to discontinue an examination of a candidate who is causing a significant disturbance to other candidates and expel that candidate from the examination venue.
