If an examination irregularity is found, you will receive a sanction ranging from a warning to a temporary or permanent expulsion from SDU.
If the examination irregularity is discovered before you have received an assessment, your assignment will also be rejected from the assessment. If an examination irregularity is only discovered after you have received an assessment, your assessment will be cancelled.
