Preparation is paramount to ensuring your supervised online exam runs smoothly. Here's our guide to making sure you're ready on the day.
We have open and closed book supervised exams. They allow students different access to resources and materials during the exam. Please refer to your Subject Outline and Interact2 site for more information about the type of supervised exam you will be sitting.
You will need to remove the following items from your exam room before starting the exam:
You will need your Charles Sturt student card. If you have lost your student card, or other photo government-issued identification, such as a passport or a drivers license.
Online closed book exams test your ability to recall, reproduce and understand what you have learnt.
You cannot access online resources, textbooks or personal notes.
You will be allowed to have a single blank A4 page that you will need to show to the exam supervisor prior to the start of the exam.
Remember, exams must be your own work. You must attempt them by yourself without any help from others, including online assignment/homework help sites. Exams will be run through Turnitin to detect work that is not your own.

We strongly recommend that students go to the bathroom before the exam start time.
If you do need to go to the bathroom during the exam, you need to send the supervisor a chat message in Zoom to let them know that you are going to the bathroom. You can also use the reactions button, located at the bottom of the zoom screen to help to get the supervisor attention.
Once the exam timer commences it cannot be paused, so your bathroom break will use up time available to complete your exam.
Do not leave the Zoom room until you submit your exam.
Once you complete and submit your exam and have logged out of Interact2, let the supervisor know via chat and then leave the Zoom room.
