Elon University School of Law
Exam Guidelines
Fall 2008
December 1, 2008
I. General Guidelines
1. Exam times and room assignments will be distributed by the Registrar.
2. Students should report to the exam room at least 10 minutes before the exam is scheduled to
begin.
3. Law school exams are anonymous, and self-identification of any kind is not permitted.
NEVER put your name, class level or personal comments (which might identify you) anywhere
on your exam materials. Doing so constitutes a violation of the honor code. This prohibition
against self-identification extends beyond the exam period itself, and students should not reveal
any information to a professor following an exam that could potentially identify the student’s
exam to the professor (this prohibition does not end until students receive their grade in a course,
i.e., when the Registrar releases grades).
Each exam period students will receive a new Exam ID number. Please memorize or bring this
number with you to each exam. Numbers will not be given out over the phone or to a third party.
It is extremely important that:
* names are never written on exam materials
* exam numbers are written clearly and accurately
* exam numbers are not revealed to faculty or fellow students.
4. The proctor will provide exam procedure information. Pay special attention to these
announcements! Your proctor, who may or may not be a faculty member, will administer the
exam and will be in and out of all the exam rooms throughout the exam period. The proctor will
not be present in each exam room for the entire period. Later paragraphs will address
communicating with the proctor during the exam. The Elon University School of Law Honor
Code governs student conduct throughout the exam.
5. Students should limit their questions to the proctor and/or faculty member to technical
questions about the exam, e.g., questions about possible typographical errors, questions about the
ExamSoft program, etc. Students should refrain from asking quest
