House rules during an assessment

The same house rules apply to all students while taking assessments. Each programme has its own Education and Examination Regulations (EER) with the specific rules for that programme, which include these house rules. The information on this page is a summary of those house rules. We have also listed some more practical information for you on another page.

As a student, you are solely responsible for being aware of the current house rules. Consult the EER of your study programme for a more detailed version of the house rules.

Please note: failure to comply with these rules may result in you being denied access to the examination room. 

Identity check

  • You can only take part in an assessment upon presentation of a valid identity document. A campus card, a paper or digital copy of your ID or an expired ID are invalid ways of identifying yourself.

Bringing your belongings

At your personal seat, you are allowed to have with you:

  • Your identity document (mandatory) and campus card
  • Something to eat and/or drink as long as it does not interfere with supervision and/or maintaining the necessary peace and order
  • Aids that are allowed by the examiner of the exam. More information on these so called exam-specific provisions can be found on the page that contains practical information about taking an exam.  
  • Non-electronic earplugs to prevent noise.

At your personal seat, you are not allowed to have with you:

  • Your phone
  • A watch
  • Other devices that are not allowed as tools

Switch off all your devices (including watches, laptops, tablets, phones and other smart devices) and store them in your bag. Failure to switch off and/or put away equipment may result in a fraud alert. Coats, bags and other belongings must be stowed.

Entering and leaving the examination room

  • The room is open to participants at least 15 minutes before the start of the assessment.
  • Latecomers may enter until 15 minutes after the start of their assessment.
  • You may not leave the room during the first 30 minutes of the assessment.
  • After the first 30 minutes of the assessment, you may go to the toilet under the supervision of an invigilator.

During the assessment

  • You are required to follow an invigilator's instructions. Failure to comply with instruction may result in an irregularity being recorded.
