Information for exam invigilators

We employ a team of external invigilators to oversee University closed exams.

Work is seasonal and concentrated during the exam periods in January, May, June and August, although ad hoc sessions may arise throughout the year.

The position of invigilator is one of significant responsibility. Invigilators are expected to be fully conversant with University exam procedures, have excellent attention to detail and have a high standard of written and spoken English.

A further handbook outlining best practice and guidelines for invigilators has been produced by the Exams Office. Electronic copies will be provided to Senior Invigilators each time the document is updated and hard copies provided along with exam paperwork. To request a copy email invigilators@york.ac.uk.
