Final Examinations
Students may not enter or leave the examination room without the consent of the supervising teacher(s).
Students will be seated in alphabetical order in all examinations. Students must show picture ID to write their examinations.
Students who arrive over one hour after the examination will not be allowed to write it. Students who arrive late but within the first hour of exam start time may be allowed to write at the discretion of the Assistant Principal responsible for Examinations.
Students must sit a Final Examination within the specified time and may not hand in the examination paper until at least one hour of the examination time has elapsed.
Students must not wear hats, gloves, hoodies, or outerwear such as jackets, coats, and bulky boots during an examination. Students who refuse to take off these items will be removed from the examination room and will not receive credit for the exam. All bags and backpacks should be left at home or in the student’s locker and will not be allowed in the exam rooms. Staff are not responsible for these items. Clear bottles of water with the label removed are permitted.
Cell phones or other electronic devices such as digital music players, watches, and iPods, are not permitted in the examination room. Students are to leave these devices at home. If the supervising teacher(s) finds the student in possession of these items while writing the examination, the electronic device will be confiscated. The student will continue to write the examination to completion. The incident will then be reported to school administration and Alberta Education. Instances where this has occurred have frequently resulted in the student not receiving credit for the examination.
Calculators required for mathematics and science exams will be cleared upon entrance to and exit from the exam as per Alberta Education policy. The covers of the calculators will be removed and placed on the floor below the examination desk.
Any breaches of examination security may result in the individuals involved not receiving credit for the examination. Alberta Education monitors all Diploma Examination results closely to disclose student cheating.
Students, who do not write a Final Examination at the scheduled time and who do not receive an exemption, will have the option of not receiving credit for their examination or, with Principal approval, writing the final examination at the next scheduled Final Examination period. Credit will only be awarded if the student completes the exam at the next scheduled Final Examination period.
Not receiving credit for a course can result from several factors, including failing to complete or receive credit for a final exam, engaging in dishonest behavior during assessments, or not meeting the required standards for the course. These actions can adversely impact a student's overall performance and may prevent successful completion of the course.
The main office will not be available for storage or supervision of student belongings during exams. Lockers and locks will be available for student use. Upon completion of each exam, students are expected to leave the building or wait in the student cafeteria to respect students still taking their exam.
