What is the policy on refunds for exams affected by misconduct?

• A. The exam can be retaken free of charge.
• B. No impact on results as long as you contest.
• C. Partial refund after review.
• D. No refunds will be provided for exams impacted or canceled due to misconduct.

Answer: (D)

Maintaining exam integrity means that when misconduct affects an exam, the system cancels or invalidates the result and does not issue refunds. This approach discourages cheating by placing the financial consequence on attempting to circumvent the process, and it preserves fairness for everyone who took the exam properly. Since the service was affected or canceled due to misconduct, no refund is provided for that specific exam attempt. Other outcomes, like free retakes or partial refunds, would imply different treatment for misconduct, which isn’t consistent with a policy that prioritizes integrity and accountability.
