Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 160 Students turning in examination materials with insufficient demographic information bubbled in for the HPD Testing Center to score the materials will be contacted by the Office of Preclinical Education and required to come to the office and complete bubbling in the necessary demographic information prior to the examination being scored. During the combined M1 and M2 years, offending students will have one point deducted from that examination grade at the first such offense, two points for the second offense, and five points plus notation in the MSPE at the third and subsequent offenses. The SPC will be notified at the third and subsequent offenses. For integrated examinations where multiple courses are tested, the requisite points will be deducted from each course examination. Written examinations will not be returned to students and students will not be permitted to review their examinations. This is applicable to regularly scheduled course examinations, makeup examinations, reexaminations, and remediation examinations. 2. Examinations Administered Virtually Students are expected to have their computers appropriately configured and fully charged to take the exam. It is also recommended that students download the examination prior to the day of the exam. A stable Internet connection is required to download the exam, start the exam, and upload the exam and monitoring files. Students logging into an exam without their computers correctly configured will be assigned an unexcused absence and will not be allowed to take the examination at that time. During any examination, a student will not be permitted access to any outside information including, but not limited to, any text, notes, or other non-approved materials—electronic or otherwise—including cell phones and wristwatches, and may not communicate in any manner with anyone during the examination except the KPCOM proctors or faculty members present. Non-approved materials are any materials for which the student has not received prior permission from the course director or chief proctor to use during an examination. Students must be in view of their computer camera at all times while taking the exam. Students who are noted to be outside of the field of view of their cameras, or have moved their cameras so they are no longer facing them, may be referred to the SPC. If students need to leave their seats during the examination, they must send an email to preclinsupport@nova.edu, after the exam has ended, and provide the times they were away from their computers and the reason(s) for being away. Failure to provide this information may result in referral to the SPC. All examinations have a time limit. Students are not permitted to memorialize examination questions in any form for distribution to others. Any violation of this policy will be considered academic dishonesty and the student will be subject to referral to the SPC. 3. Makeup Examinations Students are expected to take all examinations at their originally scheduled times, except when on an approved leave from studies or administrative break in enrollment (see Leave from Studies section). a. Late Arrival to an Examination Any student that arrives late to an examination (i.e., after the scheduled start time of the examination) will be refused admission to the examination room. The student will then be offered a makeup examination.
