L. In the unlikely and rare circumstance that a student believes that all or a portion of an exam answer that the student believes to have properly typed during the examination while using Examsoft is missing or the student believes that a technology matter caused the Examsoft program to cease working during a remote-proctored exam, the law school will investigate and resolve the matter in accordance with the Process For Investigating and Resolving Claims of Missing Exam Text or Technology Failure During Remote Exam. In other rare circumstances where a student is unable to complete an exam they have started, the Exam Interruption Policy will apply.

Rules for Remote-proctored Exams

A. All students must complete a Mock Exam at least two days before their first scheduled exam of the exam period to take their baseline photo. This will also be an opportunity to ensure that ExamSoft is operating correctly in the remote environment. By completing the mock exam process, there will be time to identify and resolve issues prior to the date of the actual midterm or final examination. B. Students may have access to beverages in clear containers only. For remote proctored exams taken in private locations, food or food related products (i.e. gum, candy, mints) are permitted but must not be in packaging. C. Students in remote-proctored exams may take quick breaks as necessary. Students taking a quick break, must say out loud that this is what they are doing. This will help in excluding the quick break from any consideration of irregularities. D. Remote exam takers who experience a technical problem with Examsoft, should contact the ExamTaker Support Line: 866-429-8889 or 954-429-8889. If the issue is not resolved by contacting Examsoft, remote exam takers should contact the Assistant Dean of Academic Services (lcove@suffolk.edu, 617-573-8160) or the Dean of Students Office (LawDeanOfStudents@suffolk.edu, 617-573-8157) E. Scrap paper is not permitted unless specifically allowed by the professor in the course examination instructions. F. For LIMITED OPEN BOOK and OPEN BOOK remote examinations, students may, if permitted by their professor, have access to digital materials they have downloaded onto their device. Students will not have access to the internet during remote examinations.

III.

Rules for Live-proctored Exams

A. All examination rooms must be completely vacated one half hour prior to the scheduled time for the examination. Thereafter, students may only enter the examination room when the proctor so indicates.

B. Students who enter the room prior to the proctor’s arrival to the e xamination will be asked to vacate the room. All students must be checked into the examination room.
