The following examination rules should be read in conjunction with the college's rules for the BPharm degree.
1 Eligibility to undertake examinations will be determined by advice that students have attended at least three-fourths of the lectures and at least three-fourths of the practical work of each subject for which the student is required to sit.
2 Candidates will be permitted to enter the examination room fifteen minutes prior to the commencement of the examination.
3 Candidates may read the examination paper during fifteen minutes prior to the commencement of the examination but may not make use of calculators or begin writing until advised to do so by the supervisor.
4 Candidates may not leave the examination until it has been in progress for half an hour.
5 Candidates arriving more than half an hour after the examination has commenced will not be admitted.
6 In the case of written examinations, candidates will not be allowed to bring in any text books, lecture notes or other written material except where specific instructions have been given by the examiner in charge of the subject.
7 Unprogrammable electronic calculators may be used in examinations; however, no claim for special consideration on the grounds of calculator breakdowns will be accepted.
8 Candidates must not communicate with one another while in the examination room.
9 No examination books or other material which is the property of the Victorian College of Pharmacy is to be removed from the examination room.
10 At the end of an examination all candidates must remain seated until all examination books have been collected.
11 Candidates must not communicate with examiners prior to the publication of results.
12 Where sickness or other circumstances warranting compassion arise, candidates may apply for special consideration. The application which is required to be accompanied by a medical certificate and/or other documentary evidence must be lodged with the faculty registrar preferably prior to but not later than forty-eight hours after the relevant examination.
13 Supplementary examinations will be held when necessary at the discretion of the board of examiners. Individual examiners may prescribe additional examinations, either written, oral, or practical when and as required. Candidates are therefore advised to be available after the completion of the annual examinations and pending publication of the examination results.
14 The college will publish results of examinations, but the college may, in the case of a candidate's failing to observe these examination rules, omit the results of the said candidate and/or exclude the said candidate from further courses of study at the college.
15 Failure to comply with any rule or instruction by the supervisor will be regarded as a breach of discipline and may lead to action being taken under the discipline statute.
16 Any communication regarding examinations must be addressed in the initial instance to the registrar of the college.
17 In these rules `examination' includes supplementary examinations and any additional examinations, whether written, oral or practical, prescribed by an individual examiner or by the board of examiners.
