Hi guys, I had my first online (PROCTORED) exam. I was a little nervous throughout the exam that my zoom would cut out because my wifi wasn’t that good, so I kept swiping (I was on a Mac) from the canvas screen to the zoom screen. I’m worried that it’s been logged as me leaving the tab and therefore I could be flagged for cheating. We also were never asked to screen share so I don’t have that to back me up as evidence. I also did swipe in maybe less than three seconds each time I checked so surely I wouldn’t be flagged for cheating bc how could I cheat in that time? Any advice would be helpful, thank you!

So our university data has been breached and they’re threatening to leak it by the 12th if Instructure (canvas) doesn’t do anything about it.

UON has the opportunity to prevent our specific institution’s data from landing in the hands of the public and I feel we should be vocal about this situation and the handling of our data/grades ect both in this breach and in the future.

I don’t believe they have root access to UoN systems so information may be “limited”, but private messaging between yourself and your teachers, passwords, your face/name/email addresses ect are all still incredibly personal information you did not consent to being in the hands of the general public. And we really have no choice in engaging with these systems which is kind of shitty. Our whole academic footprint is entrusted to external companies that often miss the mark re: information security.

Their fault can impact your employment opportunities, result in identity theft, medical disclosures ect that you did not consent to. They are holding our sensitive data and it seems to be just another Tuesday when this level of information is leaked.

This is just really unsettling and I think we should expect more from a university we spend thousands (probably millions on collectively) on each semester. It is a gross misuse of trust and funds and I believe UoN should not be absolved of the blame and should be taking action to secure our data.

Edit: misspelled a word rip

Hi everyone! I'm a prospective student looking at studying a Bachelor of Education (Primary), and I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with the university's AccessAbility support program? I have POTS, which means I'll need accommodations to succeed at uni.

Thanks!

i have no idea if there’s an event for next week’s orientation. when i check MyUni, the welcome week’s just for the students in the city location. do we still have to go to campus next week for orientation or no ….?

edit: i’m taking bachelor of nursing and i start at trimester 2
