Take-home/File Upload Examination Rules:
An announcement has been posted containing the examination rules before the
examination commences.
1. Students must upload their answer scripts in a single PDF file on the official
myExams platform (answer scripts must not be password-protected or uploaded
as "read-only" files). The university only marks one submission received from a
student. Priority is granted to scripts received via the myExams platform.
2. NO e-mailed scripts will be accepted.
3. Students are advised to preview submissions (i.e., answer scripts) to ensure
legibility and that the correct answer script file has been uploaded.
, PYC4810
Oct/Nov 2025
4. Students are permitted to resubmit their answer scripts, but only within the
stipulated submission duration, should they regard the initial submission to be
unsatisfactory. Resubmissions after an examination's closing time are not
permitted.
5. Scripts with an incorrect file format will not be considered for marking.
6. Wrong answer scripts that are uploaded, that is, any file other than the exam
answer script (e.g., uploading the exam question paper instead of the exam
answer script) will not be marked, and a 0% will be awarded. NO opportunity will
be granted for resubmission.
7. Unisa relies on an automated synchronisation system that elects scripts to be
marked in accordance with its prioritisation rules. Unisa awards 0% to incorrect
submissions made on the official myExams platform irrespective of the correct
submissions made on alternative platforms.
8. A mark awarded for an incomplete submission will be the student’s final mark.
NO opportunity for resubmission will be granted.
9. A mark awarded for an illegible scanned submission will be the student’s final
mark. NO opportunity for resubmission will be granted.
10. Only the last answer file uploaded on the myExams platform within the
stipulated submission duration period will be marked.
11. Submissions will only be accepted from registered student accounts.
12. Students who have not utilised the prescribed invigilation or proctoring tools
will be deemed to have transgressed Unisa’s examination rules and will have their
marks withheld.
13. Students who have more than one Unisa student number should ensure that
the relevant student number/s is/are registered on the Invigilator App for the
module/s requiring invigilation through the Invigilator App before their examination
session.
14. Assessments invigilated by the Invigilator App require a student to activate the
QR code. The QR code is available for activation 15 minutes before the start time
of the examination and 30 minutes after the official start time of the examination.
Students who fail to activate the QR code within the available 45 minutes will be
deemed not to have utilised the invigilation or proctoring tools and will have their
final marks withheld.
15. Any student found to have been outside the Invigilator App (by exiting or
minimising the Invigilator App) for a total of 10 minutes during their open-book
examination session will be considered to have violated Unisa's examination rules
and their marks will be withheld. Students writing open-book examinations should
activate flight mode on their phones or switch off their network/Wi-Fi, after
scanning the QR code on the invigilator App, to prevent background applications
from overriding the running of the Invigilator App during their examination session.
, PYC4810
Oct/Nov 2025
The network/Wi-Fi should be switched back on to enable uploading of the answer
script on myExams after completing the examination.

recording throughout the duration of the examination until the submission of the
examination script.
17. Students are advised to complete writing at the scheduled examination end
time. Students have 10 minutes after their scheduled examination end time to
upload their scripts on the Invigilator App. Failure to upload within the stipulated
10 minutes will result in the Invigilator App being non-responsive. In such cases,
students are advised to stop attempting to upload their answer scripts on the
Invigilator App and immediately submit their answer script via the myExams
platforms.
18. Students who complete their assessment earlier than their stipulated
examination duration period should confirm the completion of their assessment by
clicking the "finish assessment button" on the Invigilator App. Failure to do so will
result in students been flagged as being “Out of App” for the remaining duration
of their assessment and rule 12 above will apply.
19. Students have 48 hours from the completion of their examination session to
upload their invigilator pending uploads from the Invigilator App. Failure to do so
will result in students deemed not to have utilised the invigilation or proctoring
tools and their final marks will be withheld.
20. Students must complete the online declaration of their work when submitting
their examination script. Students suspected of dishonest conduct during the
examinations will be subjected to disciplinary processes. Students may not
communicate with any other person or request assistance from any other person
during their examinations. The use of Telegram, WhatsApp, or any other instant
messaging services with any other person (except when asking for technical
assistance via official channels of the SCSC or the Invigilator WhatsApp line) are
strictly prohibited. Plagiarism is a violation of academic integrity and students who
plagiarise, copy from published work, or the use Artificial Intelligence Software
(e.g. ChatGPT) or online sources (e.g. course material) will be in violation of the
Policy on Academic Integrity and the Student Disciplinary Code and may be
referred to a disciplinary hearing. Unisa has a zero tolerance for plagiarism and/or
any other forms of academic dishonesty.
21. Selected assessments requiring the usage of Turnitin software will require
students to submit typed responses only (scanned handwritten scripts or scanned
typed scripts will not be accepted for marking). Any students whose module has
indicated, prior to the examination sitting, that the use of Turnitin software is a
requirement and fails to provide a typed response, will have their submission
disregarded. In such cases, students will be awarded a non-compliance with
proctoring tools outcome on their academic records. Students are also required
to accept the mandatory End User License Agreement (EULA) pop-up to activate
the Turnitin software. Students who have not accepted the EULA will be
