What Must I Bring Into The Exam Room?

You must bring a photo ID to the exam.
We highly prefer that you bring your UNSW student card. But if necessary, you may bring a currently valid driver's license or passport. You can receive (or replace) a student card via the The Nucleus: Student Hub

You must know your zPass for the exam. You must be able to enter your zPass from memory during the exam.
You may not use a password manager or write your password down.
If you are not able to enter your zPass from memory you should update your zPass in the UNSW Identity Manager
If you enter your zPass incorrectly too many times UNSW can lock your UNSW account
You can unlock your UNSW account in the UNSW Identity Manager
It is a good idea to check that you can log in to CSE VLAB Gateway before the exam, as this can only be done if your account is unlocked.
If you are particularly worried about your account you could also unlock your UNSW account in the UNSW Identity Manager before the exam, just to be safe.
