Beware of Fraudulent Exam Site

I just received the following message, which was sent to all students, and am posting it here for your info.

It has come to my attention that there is a website that is falsely offering to sell final examinations in a number of York University courses.  Not only is this information false but it could also result in the fraudulent use of your credit card and personal information.

Faculty members of York University personally prepare each of their examinations.  Examinations are not stored in a central data bank.

The information and claims found on the website cannot be trusted and I strongly encourage you to ignore the site.

If you have questions or concerns about your upcoming examinations I encourage you to speak with your professor or an academic adviser.  

Information on preparing for tests and examinations and dealing with exam anxiety is available at the following: http://www.yorku.ca/cds/lss/skillbuilding/exams.html

Also please note that exam prep and peer advising sessions will be taking place in Counselling and Disability Services in N102 Bennett Centre on April 14, 12:30 – 2:30 p.m., and April 19, 10 a.m. – 12:00 p.m..

I wish you all the best in your finals.

Patrick Monahan
Vice President Academic & Provost, York University
