Exam registration

Active students sign up for ordinary and re-sit exams in Studentweb as part of registering for the term. Deadlines are listed in Important deadlines.

Signing up for re-sit exams

Students that are unable to sign up for re-sit exams in Studentweb, can sign up by submitting the form found here. Note that the form allows students to sign up to more than one exam at a time. The deadlines are listed in Important deadlines.

Withdrawing from exams

Withdrawing before the deadline

Students may withdraw from exams, term papers and theses 14 days before the exam starts.

Students that withdraw before the deadline, do not use one of their attempts for the exams. Please note that withdrawing does not make students eligible for re-sit exams.

Withdrawing after the deadline

Withdrawing after the deadline counts as attempting the exam. Withdrawing after the deadline is registered as did not attend/did not submit, and does not make students eligible for re-sit exams.

Students that deliver a withdrawal form to exam invigilators during in-person exams, or uses the “submit blank” button during the exam, this counts as an attempt, but students are eligible for re-sit exams.

Illness during exams

If you are ill or have another valid reason for not taking an exam, you may apply for excused absence by submitting a doctor’s certificate or other valid documentation to the exam team. Send your documentation for excused absence from your exam by using a form, here. If you are unable to submit documentation for excused absence by the first working day after the exam, you must contact the exam team to inform them of this and when you expect to have the documentation ready.

When you have excused absence, you do not use an exam attempt, and you are eligible for a re-sit exam the following term.
