Student Arrives Late

When a student arrives late to an on-campus exam, they should conclude their exam at the same time as the students who arrived on time.  

However, as on-campus exams have a 30-minute added to the Test End Time to allow for technical delays, when students commence late, they still receive their full exam duration unless an adjustment is applied. 

If a student is late to an exam, an adjustment must be applied to ensure the student concludes their exam at the same time as the students who arrived on time.  

Adjust the Individual End Time 

Once the student who arrived late has commenced their exam: 

1. Find out what time the exam is due to end by calculating:  
   The time the exam commenced + exam duration (working + planning time)   
2. Select the late student in the Monitor module and select Individual end time from the pop-up menu.   
3. Set the Individual end time for the time the exam is due to end. 

In the example below, the exam commenced at 11:15 am, and the exam duration is 2hrs and 10min. Therefore, the exam is due to end at 1:25 pm.   

Rounding to the nearest minute 

Individual end time can only be set to the nearest 5 minutes interval. 

To make an incident adjustment that is accurate to the nearest minute:  

1. Apply an Individual End Time rounded down to the nearest five minutes.   
2. Compare the Minutes remaining column for the student who arrived late compared to the students who arrived on time and calculate the difference. 
3. Select the late student and click on Incident Extra Time .
4. Add the difference in minutes.
5. Compare the Minutes remaining column for the student who arrived late versus the students who arrived on time. The minutes remaining values should be the same.   .
