  Coursework Procedures                                       JCQ Exam Regulations

At the start of all examinations, candidates are instructed to hand in their mobile phones and other electronic devices.No electronic devices are allowed in examinations unless specifically permitted by the examination paper (calculators), or in attendance to a special need, authorised by the SEN department.

In the instance of candidates detected with a mobile phone or other banned electronic device, the following protocol is to be followed by the invigilators and the Examination Office.

• 
  • The candidate will be removed from the examination room, so that the phone or device may be confiscated. This will be returned to the candidate’s parents or guardians at the centre’s discretion.
  • The candidate will be returned to the examination as soon as possible and allowed to complete the examination.
  • The Examination Officer will immediately be informed regarding the infringement of examination regulations.
  • The ‘Misconduct in examinations’ form will be completed by the Examinations Officer in accordance with the JCQ regulations.
  • The candidate will be given the opportunity to write a statement, to be included with the documentation sent to the exam board.
  • The Lead invigilator will write a statement detailing the incident
  • The Head of Centre and Deputy Head of Centre will be informed.
  • The ‘Misconduct in Examinations’ form will be sent to the relevant exam board on the day of the incident.

Examination boards assess and consider the details of the incident, and then decide measures to be taken. This may be disqualification from the examination during which the incident occurred, or from all examinations during the season of examinations.
