Face-to-face end of year exams have been cancelled at the country's third level colleges and students will be asked to self-certify that they are complying with the rules in online assessments and tests that will in many instances replace them.
At NUI Galway, students will be asked to sign a disclaimer statement at the start of each online exam. The university says that staff will reserve the right to follow-up with a student by interview if there was any concern in relation to the integrity of the exam.
The University of Limerick is finalising its Covid-19 assessment plans but has confirmed that students will need to self-certify compliance in remote assessments and exams.
