Rules

 

1.  Dress

 

This is a formal occasion, so you need to wear sub-fusc for all your examinations.

 

2.  Identification

 

Please remember to take your University ID card with you, and also your candidate number (although the Exams Schools will have a list of these).

 

3.  What you can take in with you

 

You will have to leave all your coats and bags in the Reception area, so please do not take anything valuable.  You will only be allowed to take into the examination room a clear plastic bag with pens, paper, ruler etc or a transparent pencil case.  Please remember that you should write in pen or biro, not pencil.

 

4.  Dictionaries

 

You will only be allowed to take a bilingual dictionary into the examination room if you have specific permission from the Proctors.  If you have not done this you must contact your College office very urgently, bearing in mind that the Proctors may not approve late requests.

 

5.  Calculators

 

Calculators will be provided for you.  I have had 2 or 3 requests for the Polish Reverse calculator, but if anyone else wants this model to use in the examinations please let me know without delay.  Some of the Casio calculators default to fractions, eg when calculating division or multiplication.  The calculators can easily be switched to decimal mode, and you will find instructions on how to do this stuck on the back of the calculator.

 

6.  Illness on the day of the examination

 

If you are taken ill and are unable to attend the examination, you must notify your College office, who will tell the Examination Schools, and preferably also let me know.  You will need to obtain a medical certificate, which your College will submit to the Proctors on your behalf.  Provided everything is in order, the Proctors will probably give you permission to take the re-sit examination as a first sit – this will happen in week 10 of next term.

 

7.  Behaviour

 

Please be as quiet as possible when leaving the examination room, as others may still be working.

 

8.  Past examination papers

 

Past examination papers can be found on the lecturers shared drive, under MBA Examination Papers.

 

9.  Results

 

The results process is long and complex.  This means that results will not be available until early February.  Once the pass list has been published by the Examination Schools, you will receive a transcript listing all your numerical marks.  A copy of the past list is then displayed on the MBA noticeboard by the pigeonholes.  If you do not wish your name to appear on the display list, you can ask for it to be removed by emailing the Examination Schools on examqueries@admin.ox.ac.uk.

 

10.  Re-sits

 

You are not required to pass each element of an individual course, providing your total mark for the course in question is 50% or above.  Thus, good performance in coursework can compensate to some extent for a poor examination result.  If you have failed a course you will be offered the opportunity to re-sit.  Re-sit examinations will be held in Week 10 of next term.   You do not have to re-sit – the decision is yours – but you will only get one opportunity.  If you re-sit and fail a course for the second time, this then becomes a Confirmed Fail.  To qualify for the MBA you must not fail more than 1 core course and 1 elective course.
