Current guidelines about what is considered cheating
Remember, even though an examination is taken at home, general examination conditions apply, and the examination must be an independent piece work:
1. No support materials are allowed, except from the calculators listed in the course description. Using books, notes or internet for looking up is not allowed. Also, communication with other persons regarding the task during the exam is not permitted. In addition, examination candidates are not permitted to distribute their answers to others. This type of communication is considered cheating.
2. In the event of cheating or attempted cheating, possible consequences may be annulment of the examination, suspension from UiO and losing the right to take examinations at other universities and university colleges in Norway for up to one year.
3. It is not permitted to take pictures of the examination paper.
As a candidate, you have a responsibility to use the allocated time in a sensible manner. Due to the number of questions and length of the examination, it is inappropriate to spend time looking up answers and information.
